The problem

A bid can describe your work. A photograph shows it

Your submissions talk about workmanship, scale and safety. The pictures beside them either show that or they don't.

Stock, renders and staff phone photos say nothing about your sites. Photographs taken properly, of your own crew on your own sites, do.

The solution

One site visit, a shot list built for the bid team

We work to your site rules: induction, RAMS, PPE and permits, with a site escort where one is needed.

A photography day typically gives you 150 to 250 finished photographs, lightly retouched and organised by job.

Video on the same visit where the bid wants it. See how a day runs on a live site.

What a bid team needs from a site visit

  • Your crew at work, in the right PPE, doing the job properly.
  • The scale of the site, from ground level and, where the site allows, from the air.
  • The craft close up: steelwork, groundworks, services, finishes.
  • Progress at the stages that matter to the programme.
  • The completed project at handover and practical completion.
  • The people who will run the job, so the bid has faces as well as figures.

What people said afterwards

"A big thank you for the photoshoot at Rochester this morning. Both Directors were pleasantly surprised at the outcome of some of the shots! Your commitment to getting the shots perfect was a testimony to your portfolio. You put everyone at ease and even some of the 'grumpy' site staff seemed to enjoy today. I am so happy that we booked your services and look forward to seeing the finished shots."

Aerials, when the site allows

I hold the CAA A2 Certificate of Competency and a CAA operator ID. We plan drone shots around the site's permissions, airspace and weather. If the site rules keep us outside the perimeter, we shoot from there.

Why Workshots

  • Twenty-three years of commercial photography, now with video, and site work from HS2 to Tideway.
  • One crew shoots the photography and the video, so one visit covers both.
  • Lürzer's Archive Top 200 Ad Photographers 2025, worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

What should tender photography include?

Your crew at work in the right PPE, the scale of the site and the craft close up. Then progress at the stages that matter, and the finished project at handover. The list above is the shot list we build from.

Do we need our client's permission to photograph their site?

Often, yes. A live site belongs to your client, so we plan the approvals with you before the visit.

Can we use the photographs in our bids and on our website?

Yes, once any approval your client needs is in place. Standard usage is included, and where a brief needs wider licensing we agree it before the day.

Do you shoot progress as well as completion?

Yes. Progress visits at the stages you choose, and completion photographs at handover and practical completion.

What are your rates?

It depends on days, sites and usage. We give you a figure on a ten-minute call.
