Planned and written some great content? You’ll want gorgeous photography to go with it.

Planning a shoot, hiring a photographer and everything else that comes with getting great pics can start adding up pretty rapidly. But, if you do have the budget to go without stock photos, it’s totally worth it.

Having a photoshoot on a regular basis helps build up a winning picture library that you can turn to for use in your articles, mailers and social posts. Wonderful photography will really enhance your content and make it more memorable.

Those with a tighter budget shouldn’t let that stop them from getting imaginative. You may not be able to afford a large team, but it doesn’t mean you can’t plan and capture some great shots yourself.

Consider quirky concepts, eye-catching sets, bright colours, unusual situations, fresh perspectives, good lighting, playing with focus and, of course, those angles! Inspired yet?
