What we aim to do:

The commercial sector that we serve has very different needs.
Corporate clients expect more than good service and a quality product.

For example, a cameraman is expected to enhance the event with his presence, not detract from it. He must be able to work to a brief and then to take the initiative in creating photographs which reflect the client's wishes, image and brand. He needs to direct people while still adding to their positive experience.

In short, he needs a number of different skills.

Studio Plus selects the few who can work in that environment, from a large number of professional applicants. Then they are given additional training, and finally receive a detailed brief before each assignment.

  A Brief History of Studio Plus

Studio Plus was set up when John was still at university.

In 1984 the business changed dramatically. Out of an incidental opportunity, we won the contract to provide photographers to the Mecca Leisure banqueting chain in the City. Mecca were the dominant force in London banqueting and, by gaining exclusive rights, Studio Plus became one of the major players in the country, overnight.

The next big step was the West End. With an international reputation to protect, London hotels were wary of new players. They were competing with the best in the world, and had to be persuaded, one by one, to give us a try. The fact that Studio Plus were introducing innovative ways and had changed the way photography was done, made them even more cautious.

But time had come for the old ways to die. New, dynamic corporations and entrepreneurs expected fresh air, efficiency, quality, productivity. And so, eventually, Studio Plus became official suppliers to all major venues.

New services were introduced more recently, after demand from clients for repeat business in related areas.

Now, in the age of digital imaging, it is easier to be good technically, if not creatively, and some are. But Studio Plus stands out for its professionalism, reliability and, above all, understanding each client's different needs.

  A Quick Update:
We have decided to leave the look of this website unchanged. The business was established in 1978, the internet came along later, and design trends and fashions keep changing, but this is how we look familiar to our old friends. Studio Plus is going strong, and we provide the same services, updated to more modern needs, even though John has been a full time author and writer for several years now. We value old and new relationships and nothing will change that.
