Services
Here at PicturesbyRob.co.uk we are able to provide your company with the images you need to promote your products and services. From PR pictures of events and presentations, which magazines and newspapers will be eager to use, to images for your printed and web based advertising, whether these are conceptual in nature or of tangible assets or finished products.
Product Launches, Award Ceremonies, conferences and Presentations, Group Photographs covered at all the major Hotels and Conference venues in York. Online galleries available for delegates to view within 24 hrs. Maximise your PR opportunities with photographs that publicise your event to the widest possible audience.
Eye Catching PR photographs that picture editors know will capture the reader's attention. We can shoot Photographs for your news and publicity stories, which picture editors will be delighted to run over large areas of their publications (giving you more column inches for your text). I regularly work for clients looking to attract attention in Local Newspapers, National Newspapers, Trade publications and Journals and across all social media platforms.I work across a wide range of industry sectors from Construction to the Service and Public sectors, and Charities in and around York.
Make sure everyone involved is there on time, by telling them its 20 mins earlier than it is! This gives everyone time to greet each other and prepare. Take spare Personal Protective Equipment, that is brand new. Whilst we can retouch grubby Hi Vis vests and hard hats, it always looks better straight from the packet, and this will save the expense of retouching.
Taking meaningful portraits that will become valued family heirlooms and serve as unique pieces of exclusive Artwork in your home takes time. Your portrait session will take approximately an hour, during which time you will be shown a variety of Portrait styles and finishes. I will photograph a variety of groupings and by using a combination of lighting and posing techniques, provide you with a wide selection of images to choose from at your viewing session.In my large studio I can accommodate large family groups of up to 18 people, which is ideal for extended families, or three or even four generation family groups.

Rob has been taking photos for my family since I was a little girl (I'm 23 now), he's always provides the best service going out of his way to work round a time that suits us. I've recently had a baby and we wanted pregnancy and newborn pictures done the photos where absolutely amazing, we also took our year and a half old dog and our 9 week old puppy to have pictures with our baby (I know why people say not to work with animals or children now) but rob was so patient and got some outstanding pictures for us, can't recommend enough! Thanks rob x

Rob has done a few projects for my company. The Seat Surgeons. Each time he has given us exactly what we were looking for. Fabulous natural shots that give my company the all important professional look. I cannot recommend Rob enough. Great guy, great attitude and always delivers the perfect images.

Rob photographed our wedding back in March 2013. Right from my first conversation with Rob about photographing our wedding it was simple and stress free. He showed us a series of previous wedding photos on a big screen, leaving us to look and talk between ourselves about what we wanted. We liked the informal photos he takes along with some of the more traditional (to keep the older folks happy).
Some of the effects he uses are simply stunning and we knew he would produce photos which would not only add to our great memories of the day but be something we would be proud to show our family and friends. We had chosen to get married a York registry office, a beautiful listed building with lovely gardens outside. Rob went along before the day to familiarise himself with it as he had not photographed there before.
We did not want the full wedding package Rob offers, we simply wanted some photos of us arriving, the wedding and a selection of photos after, and that's exactly what we got. We had some fun and traditional photos taken in the gardens, and with our land rover wedding car and then went for some photos just the two of us and Rob in the Museum Gardens where Rob produced some simply stunning photos. Having agreed with Rob some photos could go straight onto Facebook it was great that whilst we were having our wedding meal, our guests could see some of the wedding pics, it certainly created a buzz!
We had access to our wedding photos on line to choose from very quickly and once chosen they were ready to pick up quickly too. I can't recommend Rob strongly enough, he is a fantastic photographer, but he also has a sense of humour and was great at making what can be a nerve wracking day a bit easier.

I would certainly recommend Rob. We had some family portraits taken for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, as their anniversary gift from the rest of the family. The entire service, from initial contact to production of prints, was very quick and professional. I have to confess that I do not like having my photo taken, and so was not looking forward to the sitting. However, Rob instantly put everyone at ease and I really enjoyed the experience in the end. He was particularly good with my nephews (4 and 7) who were not keen to sit still for very long. And most importantly, we are all delighted with the photos!

We have been visiting Rob for a number of years having family and children's portraits done. He very friendly and professional and the studio is fantastic. He is great with the children and we always have fun on 'Picture Day'. His multi purpose studio is great for the photo shoots, the viewings (always the hardest bit but Rob is efficient and helpful in with our decisions) and when we pick the prints up they are always displayed beautifully which makes the whole experience more special and personal. We will continue to visit Rob for many years to come as he helps capture memories of our children growing up.

I needed a professional photo of myself for my website and social media channels. After looking at the excellent reviews Rob had already received, I decided to travel the hour to York, and am so glad I did! Rob put me at ease straight away, making the whole experience fun and with excellent results at the end of it. Thanks again Rob.
