The Importance of Quality Website Photography by Roth Read Photography

“My friend has a good camera, so he’s doing our website photography”.

Crikey, even writing that causes us palpitations!

Of course, a camera won’t take quality website photos any more than a laptop writes a best-selling novel. All the know-how is in the hands, heads and hearts of the professionals wielding the gear.

Hiring a professional photographer will give you a sense of pride in your website photography. More importantly though, it represents the credibility of your business to every consumer.

Why Do We Love Images?

Human beings are visual creatures so the brain registers images much quicker than text. Whether we are flicking through a magazine or jabbing on-line links, our brain is rapidly filtering images to determine what is of interest and who is deemed trustworthy.? It’s not personal . . . it’s instinctive.

Furthermore, images are saved in our long-term memory whereas text is saved in our short-term memory.? As a result, biology turns your website photography into a rather powerful brand.

Drop the Stock

Avoid taking the easy route and uploading stock images. Everyone in the world has access to them (including your competitors).? You may as well have a big banner across your website saying “Move along. Nothing to see here”.

Your website is your virtual shop window. All those potential new customers’ little noses pressed up against the screen looking for an incentive to click in.

If you were a High Street shop would you dress your window the same as your friendly neighbourhood rivals?? No, that would be just plain crazy.

?

Search Engine Optimisation

Did you know, that incorporating keyword-rich text (such as descriptive file names, alt text and captions) into your brand images can give your SEO a significant boost?

Which means your website and social media platforms will rocket to the top of?image search results, essentially giving you a leg up on your competition.

?

Be Authentic . . . Be You!

Any photographer worth their salt will hold a Pre-Shoot Consultation with their client.?Discovering the genuine person behind the brand is where the magic happens.

Authentic website photography creates an instant connection with the user.? A story telling image not only generates interest but instils connection and trust.

We guarantee you are unique and interesting with a story to tell that people really want to connect with.? Be exclusive, professional, and outstanding . . . let the world see you!
