Obtaining photographs that enhance your public status involves both the use of a professional photographer and careful liaison with the school or college in which the photographs will be set.  One without the other can result in photographs that do less than justice to the company and its products.

Hamilton House PR will liaise with the school or college to ensure that everyone involved is aware of what is happening, and that full permission is given for the inclusion of children in the photographs where this is helpful. 

Where necessary we will also write a suitable letter for the school to send to the parents asking them to give permission.  This may seem a tiny detail but it is one that can help overcome initial doubts and worries on the part of the headteacher, managers and governors in the school.  It is the sort of detail that suggests to the school that we have done this before, the disruption to the school will be minimal, and the results will benefit the school enormously.

We also suggest to our clients that we give the establishment copies of the photographs – and that the managers of the school or college appreciate this from the start.  In this way they are encouraged to use the photographs (which will of course enhance our client’s products) on their web site and in their prospectus.

As for the photographs themselves we specialise in bringing life to everything we are photographing, avoiding the stock shots of equipment and people, and instead giving a broader vision.  Hence we create the type of picture that magazine and newspaper editors are likely to want and which they feel will add that certain something to their publications.   Additionally these pictures are of use to our clients in their own web sites and advertising material.
