ABOUT

Aperture Photography Ltd specialises in sports and major event photography. Typically these events are often high-profile events that demand the best imagery available to suit that specific event, in any location, any weather and at any time but still provide the highest quality and choice of images for you, the client. We are a freelance photography company that offers you more flexibility and less restriction to that of other event photographers or picture agencies.

Aperture Photography Ltd retains a full, enhanced CRB Certificate, fully insured (Public Liability and Professional Indemnity) and has both a full UK National Press Card and AIPS card. We conduct commissions anywhere in the UK and also accept European and international commissions

We conduct event photography anywhere in the UK and are very proficient working with the major event organisations such as O2, NIA, NEC, LG Arena, all 2012 Olympic venues, Wembley, Olympia, Earls Court, Lord's, ExCel, all Royal Parks, various sports stadiums, national sports arenas (Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool etc), all major UK cities and many more. We are very flexible and adapt quickly to any event due to the huge variety of experience in sports and major events that we have attended. We only use high-end professional photographic equipment and where necessary, we can bring our mobile studio lighting.

Over the years, we have become well known and respected by many PR agencies, event organisers, publishers and event sponsors. With such a long term professional rapport established, this helps us get the most from your event and venue.

Our work as a major sports and event photographer is both dynamic and challenging, encompassing a wide range of disciplines and subject matter. As Corporate Photographers, we are typically commissioned to shoot photographs for company advertising, promotion and documentation purposes, especially at corporate events nationwide. The subject matter varies widely from industrial premises and equipment, through products and processes, to personnel and corporate events. As a result, we have a strong command of a number of different areas of photography, we take the time to understand our client's business, their corporate values and the underlying marketing messages the client wishes to convey.

We are normally given a strict creative brief, but in other instances, we will be asked to suggest the production of images that will accentuate the positive values of the brand and defend against any negative images and associations. We understand the opportunities and challenges associated with the different photographic disciplines and use the latest digital imaging applications.

Not only do we master the creative and technical aspects of photography, more importantly, we understand the corporate image the company wants to project, brand awareness and the various end uses of photographs, including brochures, annual reports, internal newsletters, websites, publicity and PR. We are discreet, resourceful and capable of adapting to often less than ideal working conditions and lighting levels.

We understand that client’s need to work within strict budgets and timelines to produce images that will fulfil the client's specific requirements and we will always go that extra mile in order for our client’s to achieve this. We also work to strict National Occupational Standards in Photo Imaging guidelines.
