When adding images to your content, you have two choices: Create your own or use stock images. Using original photography can set you apart and help build a stronger brand, but creating original images can be time-consuming and expensive. Most companies rely on a mixture of both original images and stock images, which in my […]
December Photo-a-Day Challenge
Throughout December #TeamB61 (Hannah, Hann, Alec, Alex and Nick) took part in a daily photo challenge. Every day they had a prompt to inspire them to pick up the camera. It was a tough challenge to take photos every single day and not everyone (spoiler: no-one!) made it to the end of the month but […]
Hannah’s Top 10 photos from 2018
2018 has been a photography heavy year. I’ve always said I’m ‘primarily a designer and a photographer second’ but last year it started to tip towards photography and I’m loving it. Here’s my Top 10 photos from 2018 (Unlike in Alec’s blog post last week, I’ve stuck to the Top 10!) Back in March we […]
Alec’s Top 10 photos from 2018
Taking photographs in 2018 was a fun and interesting experience. I got a new camera in May, the Lumix GH5 a few days before a climbing trip to France and spent the trip getting my head around what it could do. I still love my old Lumix G7 but the GH5 feels so refined and […]
Brood flies the nest
We met with Brood back in early August to discuss the rebrand and relaunch of their business ‘Brood’. Natalie from Brood created a great mood board for us before we began and a pinterest board with logos they liked the look of. This gave us a really good starting point to establish the style they […]

Drone shots bring design work to life for ARCC… Hannah and Alec got a chance to team up on a project this month for ARCC communications. Hannah has been working on expo graphics and a flyer for ARCC but needed imagery to add to the design – it was looking like they were going to […]
Photographers Assemble
On Sunday 25th November, we hosted a photography meetup in collaboration with Igers Worcestershire in our photography studio. It was a fantastic opportunity for Igers’ Instagram followers to join together and try out studio photography, which for most was completely different to their usual style of photography. It’s always great getting new photographers in the […]
Give it your best shot
They say ‘never judge a book by it’s cover’ but whilst networking online that isn’t the case. Whether applying for jobs or networking for clients, we have a very short amount of time online to make a good first impression, and professionalism is key. This week we’re focussing on headshot photography, how your profile picture […]
Studio B61’s first Summer in the skies

Alec qualified as a drone pilot back in April after a 3 day course, he got to work straight away and has just completed a successful first Summer in the skies. We have been working within the property industry for over 10 years, […]
Photography does a 360° at B61 in September
It’s been a photography heavy month in September. We all know that Alec loves his drones but we think we may have discovered something he loves even more. He has been experimenting with his newest toy – the GoPro 360° Fusion. He’s been practicing with it throughout September ready to start offering 360° tours for […]
