You may wish to check out my Google reviews and here's an example of some recent feedback:
Tony was brilliant! He works very creatively, and is always trying to find the very best way to capture what you need. Very easy to work with too, got the best out of the models, and everyone was delighted with the final edits. I hadn't worked with Tony before and he came highly recommended, now I will do exactly the same... and highly recommend!

Tony Cobley Photography has collaborated with fellow Devon based creative business, Insignia Creative to offer Tony Cobley Prints via a new e-commerce website. The site will be live with all features in September 2022.
The new website provides the opportunity to view and purchase fine art photographic prints of Tony's favourite landscape and documentary photography.

The post lockdown year of 2021 has been one of my best ever years as a commercial photographer in Devon, Cornwall and other parts of South West England. I started the business in 2005 and 2021 has been one of the very busiest years of my photography career.
I've been commissioned for many types of work . Typical clients are marketing professionals, creative agencies, communications departments and business owners in "marketing" mode! They get really great value from their images as they use them accross all sorts of output from social media to websites, blogs, brochures, banners, flyers and more!!
It seems that many businesses got new websites built and / or reviewed their marketing plans during the Covid lockdowns and are now requiring quality images to populate their sites and marketing media. One of the reason's I've been so busy this year!
Here's a slideshow of some examples of the commercial photography work I've been up to very recently.
As you can see, much of my work from wellbeing photography to industrial photography takes on a lifestyle element. People are an important part of my work as a commercial photographer in Devon and I always like to get the the organisation's people involved to help reinforce their brand. Adding people can bring a product or service to life and get the attention of potential customers.
You can see all the categories of photography I cover on my folio home page and find examples of work I've done in your type of organisation. I'm always happy to discuss ideas, rates and options so please get in touch if you'd like to learn more about what I can create for you as a commercial photographer in Devon.

Non Corporate Corporate Portrait Photography in Devon
Over the last year I found that people are increasingly wanting a business portrait which doesn't look too "corporate". While I do offer more formal corporate headshots, I have been shooting lots of working environment and outdoor business portraits down here in Devon. My clients like showing themselves as a relaxed person in an environment with some relevance. This may be a work environment or it may be a scenic local background. Over the last year I've photographed lovely people in environments such as beaches, gardens, showrooms, marinas, offices, factories and even builders yards. I've been to some really great locations all over Devon from Plymouth to Torbay, Exeter to Teignmouth and Barnstaple to Budleigh!Outdoor or Working Environment Photography for You and Your Team

I have been working with a Covid Safe Professional Practice to help my clients with their marketing and PR.
My commercial photography clients are very varied as you can see and I can provide many types and styles of photography for them. A group picture is often part of the brief so we have to get creative to make this happen safely!
These examples include an accountants firm, a building supplies company and a medical organisation all in Devon.
Socially distanced groups can still be creative and dynamic by arranging people in staggered formations with interesting backgrounds and surroundings which support their brand message.

Patient Personal Injury Photography, in Devon & Cornwall - Technique
A neutral background is used with colour calibrated equipment and a lighting set up which shows texture without creating excessive shadow. Focal lens of lenses if selected to avoid misleading perspective and attention given to plane of focus and depth of field. Sometimes a telephoto zoom lens is used if the patient isn't comfortable with proximity.
Scale can be demonstrated through use of a "Forensigraph" scale positioned next to the injury, context can be shown with wider shots and a headshot as proof of identity. These types of patient photography are usually captured:
- Overview and context image - to orientate / appreciate where on the body the injury is. If required a comparison image (eg for feet).
- Close up image of the injury.
- Close up image with a measure scale next to the injury.
- If appropriate and patient is happy to do: Re enactment of position of injury.
- Identifier headshot or patient with case ref card.
Images are shot in RAW format, calibrated for colour etc and no adjustments / retouching is done then supplied within at most 2 to 3 working days in high and low resolution TIFF or JPEG format. The commissioning client (and their patent if required) receive images via download link with license for perpetual unlimited usage for unlimited time.
Patient privacy, space and dignity are always respected as is data protection. An impartial chaperone (not a friend or relative) should be provided for photography of sensitive parts of the body and for under 18s. More details in my SOP.
Gloves and facemask are used during Covid and all scales etc are sanitised, backgrounds and gloves disposed of.
Prices are always bespoke, depending on the requirements and location. Please contact me for a quote and more details. You may also be interested in my commercial photography for medical & scientific clients.
