Shed Photography: Creating the Perfect Setting

A Proud Track Record Across Diverse Industries

As commercial photographers, we’re fortunate to work across a wide range of industries, with every project bringing new challenges and rewards. One of the most satisfying experiences is when someone who has simply viewed our website reaches out, invites us to visit their site, and asks us to quote for their photography needs.

This project is a classic example of that process in action.

How the Shed Photography Project Began

In late November/early December 2018, we received a call from a prospective customer based near Halesowen. They needed professional photography for their range of garden sheds, and after an initial discussion, we quickly saw the potential of the project. We explored the idea of creating a small outdoor garden set just outside their factory, styling it with a range of relevant props to bring the scene to life.

Given that the surrounding area was not particularly photogenic, we proposed enhancing the final images by adding a beautiful sky, trees, and fresh grass in post-production.

With our previous experience photographing similar (though unrelated) products, we knew we could achieve the client’s vision. The only real challenge would be the time of year—and the notoriously unpredictable winter weather!

Bringing the Vision to Life

After quoting for the work—including a significant amount of post-photography editing to source and add sunny skies, grassy foregrounds, and lush treelines—the project was quickly approved.

Our client had a substantial number of sheds that needed photographing, so careful planning was essential.
We had to coordinate with their busy production schedule to ensure that each shed was fully manufactured, assembled, and ready for shooting on our temporary outdoor set.

Over about five days on site, we built and styled the set using various props, including garden tools, accessories, and even a few potted plants to create an authentic, welcoming feel.

A Fascinating Experience

The project offered a fascinating insight into an industry we’d only previously encountered briefly—and, being naturally curious (or a “nosey parker” as some might say), I found it especially interesting.

It was a pleasure to work closely with such a hardworking and welcoming company, and we thoroughly enjoyed bringing their garden sheds to life through professional, vibrant photography.
