School Photography Leicestershire

Another type of job I really enjoy doing is commercial school photography, the type that gets used in the school prospectus, on the website and on various social media channels.

For the last five years I’ve completed work for Thomas Estley college in Broughton Astley. This year as they has a new classroom build during the pandemic I was asked to come back and get a selection of images of that and some of the classes in the main building.

I started at 9am and by lunchtime I’d done 15 classes. During lunch some staff had new headshots taken. We started the headshots in February 2020, but due to COVID we could not get the whole school done. Just over 350 images were delivered in total.

It’s great to see the photos being used on their website and in and around the school. They have the main corridors wrapped in vinyl wallpaper, with my images on!

Here are a selection from that morning.

Fullhurst College was another school that was booked in in May 2020, but due to COVID was pushed back to 2021, then again to 2022.

Due to Fullhurst being a huge school with two campuses, it took me two days (with a 3rd in reserve) to get every class photographed.

Over the two days the marketing manager Phill took me around all the classes, he was so prepared and knew exactly what was going on in each class and what needed photographing. On day one we walked 16k, over 20,000 steps!!

My favourite shots from the day were the cooking lesson, and yes, I did get to sample the teachers Eton mess, and I can confirm it was delicious! (See pics below)

Overall from the two days I shot just over 2,000 images, and delivered just under 1,000.

Here are a few samples from the two day shoot.
