Photography
Working nationwide, based in Topsham Exeter, much of our digital photography work is for print and Internet use. We work on locations throughout the country. Proofs can now be immediately available via the Internet.
Our photography and design skills compliment each other perfectly so the captured image can either be the final solution or the starting point. Projects include, product photography, location photography work. Relaxed people photographic work and simple striking product photos are specialities of ours.
Location Work: Nest Interiors Topsham
Informal Interiors
Nest Interiors in Topsham Devon is a wonderful shop specialising in French and New England-Style furniture and accessories sourced from France. Design Credo have a already developed their WordPress based website.
Menai Windridge has ‘nested’ a newly refurbished waterside property in this estuary town. Our task was to communicate this project in photographs via the nest website.
Packshots:
Keeping it Simple
Working from Topsham Exeter we are regularly asked by nationwide companies to photograph a range of products. Our approach tends to be “keep it simple, let the product do the talking”.
With a strong sense of design we are able to come up with a solution that will stand it’s own without clashing with other page layouts and brochure designs.
Arts Council England:
Capturing Creativity
Having handled the branding and print of the Young Peoples Arts Award we have been commissioned by Arts Council England to photograph young people involved with artistic activities as a part of this project.
Photographed at a number of locations throughout the country these images aim to capture the creative events as they happened with little or no intervention from the photographer.
Hoults Wine:
Captivating and Consuming
Hoults Wine is an independent wine retailer and importer in West Yorkshire. This work was commissioned for a mailer designed by Design Credo for direct mail.
Rather than a straight “pack shot” we chose to create a range of interesting shots of the wines, echoing the way we view the wines when the bottle is picked up. This approach has lead to a pleasing and interesting brochure rather than a simple “catalogue”.
Fun was had consuming the subject material after the shoot.
Recent and Personal Photography:
Recently the blog has turned into a bit of a Tumblr, I blame it on the Leica.
For me photography started with my father’s Canonet although my own first camera was a plastic creation (now quite trendy).
Things got going properly with a pair of Nikkormat FT2s and a bag of prime Nikkors followed by the hallowed Mamiya RB67′s. Then things got digital, easier agreed but initially I believe something of the soul of photography was lost.
Technology advances and for me this is a good thing. For me the camera of choice is the Leica with a good fast lens. Pretty much a manual camera, little automation but a real back to the roots moment. Yes we are still faithful to Nikons but there is something special about the Leica, things are different with it.
Photography is a passion which continues.
