One photography day = a year of marketing

Most schools commission one to two days on site and use the resulting library across prospectus, website, social and admissions campaigns for the whole year. I work with your marketing lead to map the shot list against your messaging, agree photo permissions in advance, and shoot unobtrusively so the day still feels normal for staff and pupils.
