You're In Business

Jason Butcher Studio is a verifiable, long-standing (est. 1988) commercial photography business specializing in high-end 'visual engineering' and motion control. While the business demonstrates clear professional utility and technical expertise in its niche, the project submission suffers from significant inaccuracies (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience, citing 'DeepForge' as the name, and stating 'most people have used my product'). The PoU score reflects a successful service-based SMB with limited scalability compared to high-growth tech ventures, further penalized by low-quality submission data.

Project Details

Description
I’m a master still-life, people, and conceptual photographer, frequently asked by clients to bring my bold and meticulous vision to solve their most technically challenging shoots. My thoughtful process and polished vision help to elevate the brands of my wide-ranging clients in the healthcare, technology, house and home, product and business world. I was born in Aldershot, England, and after a brief spell on the south coast moved to a small village in the Surrey Hills where I now live with my family and our dog 🐾. Firmly ensconced in village life, I’m involved in organising quiz nights, the annual summer show, charitable events, village politics and sampling the local pub’s beer. My studio is well resourced, perfect for shooting stills 📸 and motion 🎬, utilising cutting edge tech - Visual Engineering is what we call it, and in particular high speed / short duration flash and motion controlled imagery serving still life to lifestyle, tabletop to set-built scenarios. The studio is drive-in with floating ceiling plus all the usual pre-requisites, plenty of on-site parking and just a few minutes from the local train station. 💚 Sustainability - Green Credentials My team and I are working hard for all shoots to be fully sustainable. The studio is well versed in: saving on printing, re-using all the polystryrene & correx that was purchased many moons ago and will be recycled/replaced when only necessary, reducing water bottles, rehoming all shoot leftovers and recycling or composting what we can. Shoots need not cost more to achieve sustainability if everyone helps do their bit. The studio uses all the help on the subject provided by Adgreen to lessen our impact on the planet and keeping it green for everyone who follows us.
