Commercial photographer Jeff Russell highlights why getting corporate photography right is so important for businesses, and how to source the best while avoiding the pitfalls of commissioning your company’s imagery.
When promoting your products and services to the outside world, the camera lens can be more powerful than a catchy slogan, and more direct than a telesales campaign. Illustrating corporate literature brings products and services to life, and puts a corporate face to a name. It gives customers a chance to familiarise themselves with your business, before doing business with you, and creates an identity for your brand and image that is instantly recognisable.
But commissioning a professional for the job is often perceived as a costly and unnecessary expense. As a result, many businesses attempt to create images in-house – and that is a risky option.
Jeff Russell Commercial Photography can help your business really shine with photography that has impact, is persuasive and looks professional.
Based in South East UK Jeff Russell offers a convenient and specialised service to London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Essex and beyond. So whether you are searching a list of London photographers or need to find a Kent photographer, look no further.

With the soaring cost of fuel, any saving for a business is welcome hence this article explaining the plus points for using fuel cards.

Some people think they should not get a fuel card if they have a credit card. Even if there might be similarities, the fuel card is not a credit card and has its own use and benefits. The similarities pretty much stop at the way they both look and at the fact that the need for having cash is eliminated.

The first and most obvious benefit of fuel cards would have to be the possibility of buying petrol, diesel or other fuel at a discounted price. This is important especially because of the ongoing rise of the fuel. If you have a transportation business or your company has several cars for the employees, then the fuel card is the way to go. You do not have to give your drivers cash and all the invoices come with tax shown individually. This is important for your business because it smoothes the progress of tax recovery.

Fuel cards can be programmed in such a way that one can use them to buy one type of fuel or more depending on your needs. Because the fuel cards use Smartchip technology the number of fuelling transactions can be limited. These and other advantages make the fuel card more and more popular for both business and particular use.

It is anticipated that air conditioning will be a prerequisite on new build properties in the very near future, due to the running cost saving and the benefit of cooling and heating. There are numerous systems available including the Unico mini ducted system and the more traditional wall and floor mounted options. A very versatile and popular brand is Daikin air conditioning.

Conservatory air conditioning - use it to its full potential!
Having invested in your conservatory, it’s essential you create a room that is perfect for relaxing with friends and family regardless of the season. Temperatures go from unbearably hot in the summer to unpleasantly cold during the winter. Visually, a conservatory is always an attractive and inviting room, but these extreme temperatures make it impossible to relax in. An air conditioning unit the ideal solution for this problem.

Effective cooling
Air Conditioning is the only way of cooling your conservatory effectively. In cooling mode, the heat inside your conservatory is absorbed by the refrigerant circulating through the indoor mounted unit and taken via the connecting pipe work to be released outside.

Economical heating
Heat pump air conditioning units allow the cooling cycle described previously to be reversed. A heat pump extracts “free” heat from the outdoor air and transfers the heat indoors. The running costs are up to five times less than conventional heating systems.

Based in Yorkshire, Kris Hardy is an art graduate who has exhibited work in various exhibitions, show homes, bars and salons around the UK and abroad, working with a number of interior designers to supply art work to them.

This year has been very exciting for Kris Hardy as he exhibited at Grand Design Live at London Excel 3rd to the 11th of May 2008. In its 4th year, Grand Designs Live boasts over 40000 visitors and Kris will be amongst a staggering 450 exhibitors. Kris showcased his latest work and he demonstrated his canvas art live on the stand. It was a very successful week for him.

Kris graduated from the University of Huddersfield in June 2000 but he is no stranger to London after completing a 2 year MA at the Royal College of Art between 2000 and 2002. He has been producing contemporary canvas art commissions since graduating and have exhibited work in various exhibitions, show homes, bars and salons around the UK and abroad, working with a number of interior designers to supply art work to them. Since 2003 he has exhibited his work in over 20 John Lewis departments stores, primarily in London. Through exhibiting at Grand Designs Live, he is hoping to showcase his artwork to a wider audience, different to those of John Lewis and his home town of Hull.

The launch of his website in 2006, http://www.krishardy.com, has meant he has a travelling portfolio of his past, latest, bespoke and John Lewis work. Incorporating an eccommerce system has enabled his work to be purchased online delivered to anywhere in the world.

His very contemporary approach to his artwork style and attiitude to artist - client relations is refreshing. The approach he takes with his work is to produce high quality, original acrylic-on-canvas paintings that complement the client’s interior. All artwork is painted to order by himself and comes in standard sizes depending on the painting format. The refreshing approach is highlighted greatly by his comment “I more than happy to do bespoke sizes and colours, as I believe if you want a piece of art for a specific space then you should not have to compromise”.
