photo and video branding packages
to help you build your brand.
Are you wanting to raise your game and take your business to the next level?
Do you need content that perfectly frames your brand, your offering, your staff, or your ideal clients?
Is the content you already have not matching up to where your business is right now and where it needs to go?
Maybe it’s time to tell some new stories and show your clients what you’re really about. At Studio Softbox we can help you to be super confident and get your message out there. We will work with you to create tailored photography and video, as well as provide branding advice and coaching to help all your marketing come together, work together and get you where you need to go next.
Not keen on being on camera? We honestly know how you feel (we are kinda camera shy ourselves) and we’re experts at getting you relaxed and comfortable because we know that’s the best way to create great content (and have fun doing it!). You will be surprised at how easy it all is with us! You are in safe hands…
So are you ready to elevate your business to the next level? Then we would love to help. Let’s talk!
ARRan botanical drinks
“Working with Jim and Ursula at Softbox has done nothing short of re-charge our digital profile and hence our sales.
What we are as a business, is as much about conveying vibe and mood as it is products and people.
Their work is not just professional - its beautiful. But more: thoughtful and empathetic. ”
We created two ninety second focus stories and a teaser for Arran Botanical Drinks plus a suite of twenty second snapshot sequences to tell the story of how local foraging, artisan craft and a love for the mystery and allure of the landscape of Arran itself makes for a unique, cinematic and atmospheric story. Unfortunately we are sworn to secrecy until they launch their new website in June 2021. For now, we can only show you the original trailer and some select stills.
Watch this space for more…coming soon!
“We wanted to show our business and our island in a different way - not the same cliches, and we needed a more urbane partner that understood our needs. These guys get to know you; your goals and your ethos. They then shoot to the spec and work closely on editing and final presentation. With Studio Softbox, its a partnership and its well-priced for quality work.
With their ability to take your business to the next level, we are lucky to have this level of talent on Arran!”
video packages with impact and emotion
Videos are an incredibly effective online marketing tool for your brand. They are there to be your ambassadors and to make your grand entrance for you, way before you’ve ever actually set foot in the room. They need to show not only the what, how and where of your business, but also most importantly the why and the who. Videos need to represent you and speak for you.
We will work closely with you to develop and create great content that help your clients to not only understand you and your brand, but also to really connect with you before they have ever met you.
here’s a few examples of the kind of videos we offer…
So we can cater for anything you need for your content and we are happy to work with you to drill down and establish exactly what stories you need to tell about your business. As a guide, we do have a number of video content types that are useful to promote your brand, on whatever online platforms you regularly use…
the teaser trailer
The teaser trailer is a very short punchy video, designed for maximum impact, and on average around 20-50 seconds in length. Teasers are very useful on social media platforms as a way to grab viewer’s attention by giving a brief but rich and nuanced impression of your offering. They should leave your potential client wanting to know more…
“I am so very grateful that I chose to work with Studio SoftBox to create photos and video for my new business brand”
the brand story
The brand story is a promotional video that tells the story all the essential information your potential clients need to know about your business or brand to make them want to work with you. This is the central part of your video content, and though it can’t possibly cover every aspect of your business, it should give a clear idea of what’s at the heart of your business
“I’m still using Studio Softbox’s atmospheric film in presentations to help us acquire funding and promote and explain what we do. Their storytelling through powerful editing and stunning cinematography really grabs the attention of any audience. This film has been the catalyst for helping us to enter a new stage of development. It’s amazing, I love it! ”
the focus story
The focus story is normally used as an addition to your main brand story and it is the most flexible of our video formats. Focus stories tend to be around 1-2 minutes long and can be used to focus in on a specific part of your offer. It could be a feature on a particular area of your business, an event you played a key part in, a testimonial from one of your valued clients, or one of a series of informational videos that will give your clients added value and show you as a valuable source of expertise in your industry.
“Oh my oh my...that film is awesome. I love so many aspects of it and need to watch it again to see all the detail. Thank You!”
The Testimonial Video
Everyone should know how amazing you, your brand and your business is and who better to sing your praises than your happy clients? Testimonials are by far the quickest way to convince your prospective clients that you are the real deal.
“With their combined experience and natural ability to put even the most reluctant subjects at ease in front of the camera, working with Ursula & Jim on shoots results in video and photography which perfectly demonstrate our brand values.”
The explainer Video
These videos are used to quickly explain your company's product, service, or history in an easily digestible and eye catching way. These videos can really help specific aspects of your business and what is so unique about it, especially if your audience is not familiar with what you do and why they need it!
“I have particularly enjoyed Studio Softbox’s collaborative approach, where we discuss as we go and they rapidly find solutions. I highly recommend their video and photography work”
The how-to Video
Commonly taking the form of a talking head video, the How-To video format is one of the most popular ways to introduce your audience to what you know, build trust and show them that you can be their trusted advisor. Once you have their ear, you
“Studio Softbox have it all covered. They can help with every aspect of your brand and they are so nice to work with too. And their work speaks for itself!”
social media snapshots:
All social media platforms are competetive spaces and getting yourself heard above the general clamour can be difficult. Thumbnail scrollers on platforms like Linkedin, Youtube, Instagram and Facebook won’t play sound but strong video visuals and a clear message with text will cut through the noise and help to build a picture of what is unique about your brand.
Here’s some examples of recent package combinations we’ve made for some of our clients….
sensitivity and light: sexual confidence with sue newsome
We consulted with sex and relationship therapist Sue Newsome on her business Sexual Confidence to make an entire suite of branded content including video, photography and brand coaching. We worked closely with Sue to plan and create content with an appropriate combination of frankness and sensitivity for this brief. We had a lot of fun shooting it too! But more importantly Sue will be able to reach a wider audience, with branding that gives a real sense of her warmth, personality and approach.
“I was anxious about the whole idea of being filmed but you managed the process so that it felt almost magical - from our initial conversations to the shoot, edits and seeing the results. You have a true skill in supporting people to relax so that their brilliance can be captured on camera. Thank you! ”
ON assignment: creative Quarter
Nottingham Creative Quarter is an organisation in Midlands and was created to support, develop and highlight creative businesses in the heart of the city centre. Our job, as resident videographers, was to respond to a series of briefs and make films covering different stories on businesses, events, and competitions to show the life, history and most importantly the people making their businesses happen in the Ciy’’s prestigious Lace Market.
“I wanted to thank you personally for the hard work you’ve put in to deliver our film to the timeframe we needed. Not only that, but you’ve delivered a film full of personality, warmth, colour, and vibrancy.
I wanted just to thank you and to say I hope you’ll be at the launch this evening so I can give you a warm handshake!”
express yourself: elysian psychology
Anna Symonds of Elysian Psychology, initially got in touch for some new headshots, but after helping her overcome the fear of being photographed, she realised that we could help tell her story with video too. We created content to communicate not only who she is, but also who she helps with a range of imagery, brand clarity and video content that brought the many branches of Anna’s knowledge, personality and business together in a high quality, sensitive and approachable manner.

“Quite simply, Ursula is a gifted portrait photographer. I trust her to create branded imagery that reflects our company and our values, and tells the story of each individual member of staff. It goes without saying that she is a pleasure to work with, and that she delivers great photographs without fail. But what is truly exceptional is how she can capture the essence of each and every individual in a remarkable photograph”
“Studio Softbox also has an uncanny knack of helping each of our team to feel relaxed in front of the camera. It was all so much easier than we thought! I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them”
