Commercial Photography in St Ives
A St Ives estate agent's listings and a marina cafe's social feed need images planned against a specific use, not a mood board full of pictures nobody can crop. Independent retail, and hospitality and riverside leisure, are two of the sectors we see most often here. We work from Hills Road in Cambridge, about twenty five minutes away, and go through your website templates and ad formats before a shoot. That way the shot list already knows which frame needs headline space and which needs to survive a square crop for social.
About us
Clickscope is a small photography team based in Cambridge, about twenty five minutes from St Ives. We work with local estate agents, trades businesses and riverside hospitality operators, shooting images to a brief. We're a Cambridge digital marketing agency about 25 minutes away, close enough that photography decisions get made in person, not over email chains.
Our MISSION
Plan the shot list before the shoot, not after
We go through your website, your ad formats and your printed material before booking a shoot, so every frame in the list already has a required composition attached. That's how a St Ives business ends up with a gallery it uses for years rather than a folder opened twice.
Judged on where the image lands
Every shoot is built around the exact listing, advert or page the picture will live on, not a vague notion of what looks appealing.
How we run commercial photography for St Ives businesses
01 / How we work
Shot for where it lands
Cut out product shots for listings, lifestyle images for ads, and detail shots for the questions your customers keep asking, all planned before the shoot rather than worked out afterwards.
A minimum image count, agreed upfront
The shot list sets a minimum number of finished images per day, agreed upfront, rather than a vague figure you can't plan against.
Files are yours, backed up and organised
Delivery takes the form of an organised gallery, high resolution masters and web optimised versions both included, backed up and yours with full usage rights.
WHY CHOOSE US
Why St Ives businesses choose our photography
£891,000 from £25,300 spend
An estate agency client, new to Google Ads at the time, turned £25,300 of spend into £891,000 in sales. Listing photography that holds up under every crop plays a real part in traffic converting like that.
Senior-led, start to finish
One photographer plans the shoot and is behind the camera for it too, rather than leaving a junior to interpret the brief.
No lock-in, shoot by shoot
Each shoot stands as its own project rather than sitting inside a longer contract. Ongoing photography support rolls monthly, with 30 days' notice needed to end it.
Client Results
One ecommerce client took £50,000 of Google Ads spend to £1.52 million in online sales. For a marina cafe or a St Ives shop, the photo does the selling well before anyone reads the caption. Photography alone wouldn't explain that whole result, but a weak image gallery would have kept it far short.
