Commercial Photography UK
Your premises deserve better than phone snaps and stock images. Trusted Photography delivers commercial photography for UK businesses: interiors and premises captured in 360°, CAA-compliant drone photography and aerial filming, and business video, backed by 21+ years of photography heritage and a client list that includes LEGO, BMW, Currys and Hamleys.
We are a real, accountable UK limited company, not a freelancer, and we cover all 51 English counties plus Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland with no extra surcharges for outlying regions. Every project starts with a free written quote, and we confirm the brief and quote within one working day.
How to choose a commercial photographer in the UK
Search for a commercial photographer and you will find everything from part-time freelancers to faceless national directories. You know the gamble: quotes that change after the shoot, travel charges that appear on the invoice, a supplier who disappears when you need a reshoot. Before you book anyone, check three things.
- Is there a real business behind the brand? Trusted Photography is the trading name of Local Exposure Ltd, a UK limited company registered in England (Companies House No. 06968703, VAT No. GB975368959) with a physical office in Long Eaton, Derbyshire.
- Is the pricing transparent? We put every quote in writing, free of charge, broken down by line item, with a fixed fee and no hidden travel costs or per-photo surcharges.
- Can they prove delivery at scale? We have delivered tours for thousands of businesses across every sector, from independent cafés to national retail chains, including multi-site rollouts for LEGO, BMW, Currys and Wren Kitchens.
What does commercial photography include?
Commercial photography covers the images a business uses to market itself. Ours is built around the spaces where you trade, and most of the shoots we quote include one or more of the following.
- 360° photography of your premises and interiors, capturing every customer-facing area so customers can see exactly what to expect before they visit
- 360° virtual tours published to your Google Business Profile, Google Maps and Street View
- CAA-compliant drone photography and aerial filming
- Business video, filmed by the same team on the same shoot day
- Google Business Profile management, creating, optimising and promoting your profile
Every quote includes a pre-shoot brief and consultation call, so we agree the brief before anyone lifts a camera.
How much does commercial photography cost in the UK?
There is no fixed price list, because no two briefs are the same. A small café or retail unit typically needs 2 to 4 hours on site, while a hotel or car showroom can take a half or full day. So we quote every project individually, and every quote is free.
What we promise on pricing:
- A free, no-obligation written quote on every project
- Fixed-fee projects with no hidden travel costs or per-photo surcharges
- Every quote broken down by line item, so you can see exactly what you are paying for
- Multi-site discounts for national rollouts
- National service with no extra surcharges for outlying regions
As a guide, our 360° virtual tours start from £300 for a small site such as a café, salon or retail unit, with tailored quotes for mid-sized venues, hotels and multi-site rollouts. Bundling video, drone and 360° capture into one shoot day is usually cheaper than booking each separately.
How the commercial photography process works
From brief to delivery, usually within two weeks. No mystery and no drift.
- 1. Get in touch. Call 0115 718 0409, email google@trustedphotography.co.uk or use the contact form. We confirm the brief and quote within one working day.
- 2. Pre-shoot brief and consultation call. We agree access, timings and how the images will be used before anyone travels.
- 3. Shoot day. A typical small business shoot, such as a café, retail unit or gym studio, takes 2 to 4 hours on site. Larger venues such as hotels, car showrooms and universities take a half or full day.
- 4. Edit and delivery. Allow 5 to 10 working days after capture for editing, including colour correction, tripod removal and retouching on 360° work, before everything is delivered and any tour goes live with embed code and ownership handover.
