Business Photography and Video for Websites Across Canada

Every project depends on its size, so most are quoted individually. Local commercial photography is a fixed $790 for a two-hour shoot, including editing and image optimization for the web, plus applicable tax.

Tidy the areas that will appear in the frame, confirm who will be photographed and make sure products are clean and labelled. Plain, solid colours usually photograph better than busy patterns for portraits. We send the shot list beforehand so everyone knows the plan, the session stays brief and your staff and customers are barely interrupted.

Not if they are prepared properly. Images are exported at the dimensions the layout uses, in formats such as WebP, and those lower on the page are lazy-loaded. Videos are compressed, and where possible a light preview image loads first, with the full clip fetched only when someone presses play. We test page speed again after adding visuals.

Often, yes. Recent phones take good pictures in decent light, and editing can correct colour, straighten lines and crop for the layout. Where a shot is too dim or out of focus to save, we will tell you. Many businesses settle on a mix: casual phone pictures on social accounts, with a planned set reserved for the key website pages.

Usage rights are written into the project quote before work starts, so you know where the files can be used, whether on the website, social media or in print. Typically the goal is for your company to use the finished files freely in its own promotion. If you have special uses such as packaging or broadcast ads, mention them early.

In most cases, yes, at least for the pages visitors see first, like the home, about and main service pages. A modest set of planned, original pictures changes how credible a site looks. A huge archive is unnecessary. A focused list that covers your people, premises and day-to-day work is usually enough for the website and plenty of social posts too.

Yes. Many sites go live with borrowed or older images and replace them later with original photography. We already know the exact slot each picture fills, so the swap is simple. New files are prepared at the right dimensions and uploaded with fresh alt text and descriptive file names.
