What is Commercial Photography?
Commercial photography is photos that promote or sell a product or service. Photographs can help market products and corporations in a number of ways. Commercial photography involves taking pictures for commercial use: for example, in advertisements, merchandising and product placement. Commercial photography is also used in corporate brochures and leaflets. Great photos are important for menus in cafes and restaurants. Similar commercial uses where photographs enhance a text are everywhere.
Selling a Product
Bridgeforth Photographics can produce quality images of product lines or individual products. Commercial photographs of product lines, or of individual products, can either focus upon the design of the product (for example the sleekness of a kettle, or the depth of carpet fibers), or upon the use of the product (for example, the functions on an iPhone, or playing games on the Wii). Product commercial photography reveals the detail and feel of a product to the customer. Advertising commercial photography is more likely to focus upon the status and attractions of the product.
Promoting a Business
Businesses use commercial photography to promote themselves or particular aspects of their work. There is a difference between commercial photography, and industrial photography. Commercial photography & industrial photography is often performed in a studio or isolated environment, where products can be shown by themselves. Industrial photography is usually done on site, on the factory floor or production line. Most commercial photography professionals will not take on an industrial photographic shoot. At Bridgeforth Photographics, in Winchester, VA we love these on-site sessions. You can promote a businesses with architectural and building photography, showing the business as a product.
Lauri is also an FAA-licensed drone pilot. This is an advantage over most other photographers, as she can capture images from much different perspectives. Professional imagery that is current ensures your website doesn’t appear outdated. Using your smartphone can give your website an amateurish feel, professional images take it to the next level. I help busy marketing executives and business owners tell their stories with professional photography, so they look their best.

The subject is actually an industrial conveyor belt, seen through the lens of Bridgeforth Photographics, because Lauri Bridgeforth makes the ordinary appear extraordinary.
