Now working as a freelance Sheffield photographer, I started my career as a press photographer for the Yorkshire Regional Newspapers group, working for the Whitby Gazette and Scarborough Evening news. After gaining NCTJ qualifications I worked for numerous newspaper publications, including the Northern Echo and Darlington & Stockton Times owned by the Newsquest group.
Doug Jackson Photography was established in 2007, and working from my Sheffield base, I have had assignments in helicopters, in the deepest mine in Europe. Whilst working as a press photographer I trained as a video journalist. I realised there were times when video content could be more advantageous than still images; although requiring a similar skill set to capture.
With the ease of on-line publication many companies now see movies as a necessary tool rather than a marketing luxury. Telling the story of your business or project is no longer just about strong images and text but increasingly depends on a more comprehensive narrative.

Services
Since 2007, I have been a PR and Events Photographer and coming from an editorial/press background, I have plenty of experience.
Working as a PR photographer, I usually receive a brief from the client.
A good concise brief can make a commission more straight forward and ensure one is focusing only on what the client requires and not superfluous information.
The world of marketing and public relations covers all aspects of business and non-business sectors.
Clients as varied as Saatchi & Saatchi, Macmillan Cancer Care, the RNLI and Grosvenor Casino mean you will never know what the next commission will bring.

Working as a commercial photographer in Yorkshire I am commissioned when client require fresh images.
These might be for a new brand, product, process, facility or a re-brand and refresh.
Its always important when shooting businesses to be aware of where the images are going to be used.
A billboard has very different considerations than a mobile phone app.
When shooting on a commission, I generate a large number of images that may add to, or even start, an image library.
This could include headshots of staff, a meeting, process, manufacturing, logistics, building exteriors/interiors, office and design location, highlight a service, communal areas, it can be a huge list.

If you are looking for Headshots and portraits photographer then you have come to the right place.
Often people think that a headshot or portrait should be static formal affair, but that is not always the case.
Certain sectors of business require a variety of photographs of different images and tones; naturally, every client requires a unique portfolio.
Typically, when shooting portraits, once a good location has been sourced (or an appropriate background set-up) I tend to take more time to get full a series of headshots, upper body shots, and full-length images.

It is fortunate to be a product photographer in Yorkshire with so many diverse and interesting businesses in the region.
Most of the product shoots I do tend to require me moving the studio to the client, although I do have a small studio where clients occasionally send me products.
A lot of my clients often need a quick turn-round with product photography.
Normally I Shoot for brochures and catalogues, routinely working to tight deadlines.
Some of the products I photograph are straightforward to shoot.

My work as a Freelance Corporate Photographer differs from other aspects of photography, as it tends to be more about the people and practice rather than products or process.
This includes senior management photography, portraits of staff and also the production of generic images for a company that could even include exteriors of office and reception areas.
It is often a lot less costly than clients think to get some really good quality images of their staff.
Sheffield based JSP commissioned me to do an hours shoot at their base.
