The summer is here (they say), and we thought what better time to share Prodoto’s active and outdoor prowess. The below is a few of the thousands of shots from our impressive bank of images, shot for many leading names across the country, including Go Outdoors, Mountain Equipment and Sprayway.
Being, as we are, the leading commercial photographer in t’North, it is plain to see why Prodoto, with our scenic location and unrivaled outdoor expertise, are the no. 1 choice for some of the UK’s biggest outdoor brands. Call the studio for a quote, or check out our fashion photography portfolio to see more.
Managing Director and fashion photographer William Lack’s shoot was hijacked this week by a graffiti aficionado known only as Derek. To Will’s surprise, the mysterious character provided the perfect setting to his shoot, featuring up-and-coming model Elliot Augustine.
Derek doesn’t speak much, but sources tell us that he may be a member of the product photography team… Will was heard to say, ”I don’t know much about Derek but I certainly think that he will come again should any of our clients want his skills for their next shoot. Give Prodoto a buzz and we’ll leave him a calling card…”
Senior Photographer Victor Pavon grabs the prize again this week, assisted by none other than Managing Director, Will Lack. Post Production on the Tag Heuer watch was carried out by expert Mac Operator, Iola Mazeika.

We wish Black White Denim all the best for the future and look forward to working with them again.”
Prodoto’s portfolio continued to expand last week, with expert food photographer Paul Lambert on the case. Below is a selection of shots by Prodoto’s resident ‘foodie’, produced in the 12,000 square-foot studio space of Belvoir House, Mytholmroyd.
“Shooting food is an art, and we’re really glad to have someone as skilled as Paul on the case here,” said Managing Director William Lack. “Paul has a real eye for making delicious images, and we look forward to working with many more food companies in the future.”
It’s back! And this week’s Image of the Week goes to Alex Bladen, with this shot for Original Sister, handled by the relentless Andy Holmes, with Post Production by Stacey Sedgewick.
“The Image of the Week is becoming a great way for the team here to get more creative,” said Andy. ”We’ve had great feedback from clients old and new and look foward to sharing many more images with them.”
Prodoto’s fashion photography client base continues to grow this week, with Steel City’s Finest; Drop Dead Clothing, coming onboard. The Drop Dead team joined Prodoto at the studio for the afternoon, shooting with studio photographer Paul Lambert.

We wish Drop Dead all the best for the future, and look forward to working with the team again soon.
