A word from Stephen:

I am a Belfast based commercial photographer with over 20 years experience in working with companies of all sizes who have a need to make their products or services memorable, identifiable and desirable. By ensuring that I have sufficient insight into their business I craft the final result, whether that is an individual image or a complete campaign, to raise their profile in order to increase their sales.
I served my time in an advertising studio from 1986 where I later became production manager and have been self-employed since 1993. My clients include designers, shop fitters, retailers and manufacturers - my largest client is a global brand and the smallest is a one-man company. I work hard for them all to produce a style that encompasses a vital commercial edge without the sacrifice of artistic qualities and originality.

"I like photographers, they don't ask questions" (Ronald Regan, 1983)

President Regan was talking about the press - in commercial photography insight through research and experience is the key skill. With over 20 years in this area Stephen Potts knows exactly what questions to ask in order to understand your business so he can produce exactly the right image or plan a complete campaign.
