From bottle shots of Islay whisky, social media content, to distillery and commercial events - Ben Shakespeare Photography can provide everything you need right here on Islay.
With all editing and digital storage provided, you know you can get what you need on your island doorstep.
Of course! Why wouldn't you hire someone who is as ingrained in the Islay spirit as the whisky itself!
Wouldn't it be great not to worry about...
TRAVEL
No travel costs, no delays, no cancelled ferries. Everything you need, already here.
LOSING THAT SENSE OF PLACE
Photographing your whisky where it was born, and where it was born to be photographed.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Knowing the locations you've never even thought of, and where to go in the most 'interesting' weather.
Did someone say
social media?
I understand how important social media is to brands, but it's not always about having that huge ad campaign. Hiring someone local means you can have a constant stream of content that is fresh and up-to-date. Shots that reflect the weather and the seasons. Videos that capture what it's like on the island - with your product front and centre.
How I Work
PROLIFIC
I like taking a lot of shots. The light changes quickly, and I like working quickly with it. Depending on what I'm working with, you'll always have a good choice of images and edits to suit your needs.
CREATIVE
Whisky bottles are whisky bottles, right? Well, no. I alsways try and make sure I find a fresh angle on each project. This is born out in shots like the camera buried under the combine as it harvests, or the camera in the cask as it's being filmed. Whisky is no ordinary product, and it shouldn't have any ordinary media.
FLEXIBLE
Need Stories for your Instagram feed? No problem. 4k FB? Fine. Images delivered, optimised and sized for the social feeds you use, that's fine. I can do that. You let me know what you need, and we can work together on how to achieve it for you.
