Glasswells Furniture – Ipswich
When Glasswells opened its new furniture showroom on a retail park in Ipswich, the company wanted a striking shot of the store's exterior. The brief was to create a memorable image which could be used both on the firm's own website and in publicity material.
The obvious course would have been to take a photograph of the store in the daytime, but we decided to do something different and more eye-catching. Our solution was to shoot as evening fell, with the shop's lights turned on, which emphasised the large glass windows at the front of the showroom. This created a dramatic shot which drew the eye to the shapes and colours of the furniture inside. We also angled the photograph from the side, which meant part of the road could be seen, with the lights from the shop reflecting in the damp pavement. The result was an image which has since been used many times, both in print and on websites.
Alstons Furniture – Colchester
On this occasion, we were asked to photograph a collection of bedroom cabinets. This involved creating a bedroom set within our studio and we worked to a brief from the firm, which suggested how it should be laid out and what colours to choose. The client also requested both external and internal views of the cabinets.
A photo stylist worked together with our photographer over a whole day to arrange the room set in every detail, arranging furniture and lighting to give a bright, airy atmosphere. After we had taken the photograph, the area of the window was altered on the image to include an external view. This painstaking process meant we ended up with an image which was just what Alstons wanted and showcased their furniture to full advantage.
Nidera – UK Head Office in Ipswich
Grain merchants Nidera run a UK haulage fleet of 35 trucks, and had taken delivery of new Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Our brief was to create a dramatic image showing one of these new trucks. At Stillview, we specialise in transport photography, so this Ipswich-based firm knew we would be able to find an unusual way of showing the trucks' capabilities.
We started by photographing the parked truck, but then adapted the image digitally, creating an effect of speed by using a photograph of a trailer. By appearing to show the truck in motion, the image expressed its power, while the glimpse of countryside beside the road suggested the setting where the trucks are normally used. We enlarged the picture to a 7m shot and this was installed in Nidera's international HQ in the Netherlands.
Karl King Transport – Ipswich
Our expertise in transport photography was called on by Ipswich firm Karl King Transport. As a market leader in distribution, the company asked us to create an image showing a fleet of its lorries. However, we needed to do this without taking several vehicles out of service for a whole day, involving unnecessary loss of productivity. We took one lorry and photographed it in several different locations, then digitised the image so that four lorries were shown, two on a bridge and two passing underneath in opposite directions. The resulting photograph put across the firm's versatility and the fact that it has a large number of lorries on the road.
Top That– Woodbridge
Woodbridge-based children's book publisher ‘Top That’ were looking to revamp their corporate identity. They wanted images they could use, not only in print, but also on their website and in PR material.
Our photographer spent a day taking photographs that reflected the ‘Top That’ image, and the brief was to show a young, dynamic, forward-thinking company. The photographs were of staff in and around the working environment; shots were taken in each department and had to reflect what they did.
Stillview Photography has undertaken many corporate shoots over the past 33 years.
James White Fruit Juices – Ashbocking, Suffolk
Suffolk-based fruit juice producer James White asked us to showcase some of the drinks from their Uncle Cornelius range, putting across their refreshing qualities. We used a summery setting for our product shot of their Lemon Refresher drink, creating an image with the bottle and two glasses in the foreground, and a summer game of cricket behind. By contrast, for our shot of the firm's Finest Spiced Ginger, we chose a dark background with a fire in the background, suggesting the drink's warming flavour and giving a feeling of evening and relaxation. The resulting images were used on the firm's website.
