Professional photography for professional businesses
SJM has been producing technically excellent photography and media to industry for over 30 years. Professional quality imagery requires the right equipment, a highly skilled team and plenty of imagination and experienece. Whilst many of our final images might look simple, the process in getting here is often complex including development of specialist rigging, lighting and post production digital work.
The studio
A well-equiped studio is an essential asset to any photographer. Our SJM set-up consists of three areas: the photographic studio, the design room and the sound-proofed audio suite. This allows us to produce imagery and media of the highest standards, with everything we need to hand.
Ironically, when clients want to create mininalist imagery with 'less', the equipment requirement is often 'more'. Especially for floating product arrays and more specialist imagery. Above you can see how well stocked our photographic studio is, so we can rapidly find solutions whilst working on set.
Can you imagine? Whatever you have in mind, we can probably produce it.
Whether it is a complex medical instruction video or beautiful magazine food photoraphy, we can capture it. And when it doesn't exist, we can produce it. Want a different label? We can switch it. No hands to be in shot? We can erase them and show the product assembly 'by magic'. Much of photography today involves digital post production work and when this is in mind from the start, rather than the end, we can develop the most exciting and inovative results.

"We have been working with SJM since we started our business 15 years ago, and wouldn't think about going elsewhere. Unlike many of their clients, our product is not technical, and our requirements are for fairly straightforward photography, both in the studio and on location, but they always make time for us and give what feels like 110%. In terms of post-production nothing is too much trouble. It is always a pleasant surprise to get the invoice - how often can you say that? - and, very importantly, they are always a pleasure to work with."
