Venue Photography for Merseyside marinas and boathouses
The right venue photography for a marina and boathouse rests on three decisions: access, light and framing — in that order. Marinas at Liverpool Waters, Conwy and West Kirby carry constant tide and light shifts — the shoot is planned to the tide table as much as to the diary.
Context
Waterfront and marina marketing is a tide-first discipline — the shoot reflects that.
Concretely, interior + exterior + aerial pack for marketing site and brochure. The tide table is the schedule; the diary works around it.
