Photography may seem like an unnecessary and extravagant expense, especially when smart phones have become so good at taking photos. But here are 5 reasons why you should invest in professional prospectus photography in 2023.
A BANK OF IMAGES READY TO USE
It’s that time again – you need a poster for your open evening and you know you’re going to either have to find time to take a picture, or spend ages scrolling through weeks of iPad images to find one in focus enough to use. Having a large, varied bank of professional images that are ready to use takes the stress away and makes it quicker and simpler to create eye-catching advertising. What’s more, all the children in the images will have consent for their photo to be taken and used, so you can use them with confidence.
REINFORCE YOUR SCHOOL’S ETHOS AND BRAND
Every school is different. I should know – I’ve visited so many of them! It’s important that your ethos and core values are clearly communicated. This helps everyone to know what you stand for and will help your community understand and support those values better.
HELP YOU STAND OUT FROM OTHER SCHOOLS/COLLEGES
Eye-catching, colourful, modern professional photography will make your school or college stand out from others in the area. Many schools either choose not to invest in this, or use more traditional imagery which takes a more academic approach. While academic success is of course highly important, a school is much more than that today. It is a community, a support network and a place where a student’s welfare, happiness and overall health is just as significant. My photographs show all aspects of school life, reflecting this balance.
INSPIRE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES
Photography of all areas of school life will help other students to want to join in too. Whether it’s football or drama, there is no better way of showing other students what to expect.
AIDS RECRUIMENT
Professional prospectus photography is not just about attracting students: it’s vital in the recruitment process too, by helping to attract the right applicants for your job vacancies. By having a professional school photographer take images that show a true representation of school life, applicants are made aware from the beginning what working with you will be like.
