Hi - I'm Jo Blackwell, a Business and Brand Photographer based in Northampton, in the beautiful heart of the UK.
I help business owners to raise their profile through natural, creative photography that really gets to the heart of your brand. First impressions count and if potential clients can get a sense of the culture of your business before they contact you, they've made a connection that makes sales that much easier.
You work hard on your marketing and your social media. I know how time consuming it can be.
How would it feel to have a library of perfectly processed and sized images ready to go whenever needed?
Images that show different aspects of your staff and business that you and your marketing department can use for all your print and digital assets from your website, social media, PR and press releases, flyers and banners.

"Jo has an incredible eye to create beautiful photos, and really takes the time to understand what you want from the photoshoot. I love how she photographs through the seasons and has produced some amazing portfolio of photos for both me and my clients."
"Jo photographed my first business coaching retreat in France along with an incredible assortment of personal branding photos. She has an eye for capturing great images that are professional, creative and stand out."
Karen Kissane, Business Coach
"Jo's attention to getting the right photo was second to none. I had the pleasure of working with her on two separate occasions, and each time, she exceeded my expectations. The first time it was to work with my whole team, and Jo's innate knack for creating a warm and comfortable environment during the photo sessions was evident as she put everyone at ease. The second time, we had a specific project to complete, and the resulting images are fantastic and we are all very happy with them. It's a pleasure to have them on our social media, website and flyers.
Beyond her photography skills, Jo was a pleasure to work with. She cares, is responsive, and communicates effectively, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a professional photographer who also understands marketing and the business aspect of branding too."
"I am not someone who likes being photographed and add that on top of being photographed for what you know isn't just for putting up on your walls at home but to be used publicly across social media, I was not looking forward to the first photo shoot. And then, well that all just went away because Jo turned up.
She wasn't coming to just take pictures, she came to hear about what we were doing in our business, what we were passionate about... she listened, asked questions, guided and reflected through experience and got to know us. Jo turned up to see us, and captured what we had been afraid to show before - just us, the real us. Jo doesn't just come to take your picture, she turns up to help you tell your story and share your ideas, through the magic of her passion photography. Anyone who is nervous about being photographed or anyone who wants someone to capture your truly rather than just getting a load of stock photographs - book Jo! You will be delighted!
FAQs
Where are you based?
My Studio is in North Northamptonshire, just an hour's train journey from London.
My business is in xxx - will you travel to me?
The short answer is, yes! I do often travel for Business Branding shoots, and Retreats. I have travelled to clients in London, Turkey, France, Scotland and Ireland to name a few destinations!
Do you charge for expenses?
As a rough rule of thumb, if I am travelling for more than an hour, I will ask for a contribution towards fuel or train fare (how much depends on how far). If I am travelling for more 2 hours, I will also ask you to pay for one night's hotel accommodation (think Premier Inn rather than Ritz!) so that I can give you my best.
Will you come into my business?
Please give me a call on 07725 802690 or email jo@joblackwell.co.uk to discuss what you need.
Will you take photographs of my products?
I am not a specialist product photographer, but I do happiliy take photos of products and workplaces when required.
Are there any other “extras"?
Apart from travel expenses, as detailed, any other "extras" are entirely up to you. I can usually organise hair and make-up for an extra fee. After the shoot, I can also source prints, frames, canvases etc if you so wish.
However, there are no extra fees for "running over" time, processing etc.(except for special requests)
