Report
We contracted Inside Out Photography to take a series of internal and external photographs of two of our properties in Manchester. Inside Out provided a high-quality, professional service in which it was clear that customer satisfaction was a prime concern of the business. The proprietor, Bernard O'Sullivan, clearly possesses a wealth of experience and, more importantly, talent. The pictures were carefully and sensitively taken, particularly in terms of lighting and perspective. The outcomes were deemed excellent by all concerned: pictures of the highest quality. The price for the work was particularly reasonable considering the quality of the work.

Dear Bernard, I just wanted to say that your photography on our website www.thecornerhousetideswell.co.uk has made a good impression with our future guests in our new holiday let venture, The Corner House in Tideswell. People who are enquiring have said, they want to stay as the property looks beautiful from the photos. We have only gone live in the past two weeks and are already getting bookings from early October right through to the New-Year.We enjoyed working with you, and understanding all the work that goes on behind a photo shoot for a holiday let was very interesting. You'r innovative lighting, professionalism, patience and attention to detail throughout made it a pleasure to work with you. Thank you for helping us start a new direction in life!
Stefan Nanfredi - Co-Owner - Lewis Bros Ice Cream
Bernard came to us at Lewis Bros Ice Cream with the task of producing high-resolution photographs to be used as contra-vision on our newly-built ice cream vans. From the outset it was clear that Bernard had a highly profession and innovative approach to his work and showed care and attention to set the lighting correctly to enable fantastic high-resolution photographs of our ice cream cones. Bernard was very patient and understood our specific needs perfectly. The resulting imagery was stunning and really promotes our products very well. I would definitely recommend this company.
Sam Wright - Marketing Executive - Industrial Tomography Sys
We've worked with IOP on multiple occasions to photography our industrial engineering products, and to take group photos of our staff teams. Bernard is an exceptional photographer; he's extremely accommodating and is great at keeping us informed. The images he produced for us are of excellent quality with fantastic lighting, perfect for use in our print-marketing and online. IOP is highly recommended
Sarah Hill - Marketing Director - Stone Warehouse
We recently hired IOP to conduct an extensive photoshoot of our entire product range, encompassing over 200 products for a relaunch or our Commerce website www.stonewarehouse.co.uk. Whilst undertaking the photoshoot Bernard was a complete professional, with a critical eye for detail and a very creative flair which helped us enormously in developing our product sets. His flexibility in working to tight perimeters was invaluable and he adjusted his schedule entirely to suit our needs.
I would not hesitate in recommending IOP photography for any project, as Bernard ultimately delivers first class photography which is both innovative and creative, in a friendly yet highly professional manner
