Commercial Photography That Works as Hard as Your Brand

Strong visuals change how people see a business. Mark Wheelwright has spent 18 years photographing brands across Leeds — from product shots for e-commerce brand North Sky, to corporate portraits for dental practices, to location work for names like Habitat and Boxclever — and every project starts with the same question: where will this image actually be used?That matters, because a LinkedIn headshot, a press photo, and a product page image each need something different from light, composition, and framing. Getting it right the first time is what turns a photo into an asset you're still using two years later.The studio covers the full range of commercial work: product and promotional photography, corporate headshots and team portraits, and workspace or environmental photography that shows your business in its own space. Every shoot is planned in advance — the brief, the shot list, how the images will be used — so what comes back is consistent, on-brand, and ready to publish.
