We Are Open Project: Business Photography in Fairport NY
The world shut down. Businesses on pause.
Throughout it all, we kept asking ourselves “How can we help the small businesses in our community?”
The answer was obvious, but we had to wait until our phase allowed us to open. So while we waited, we brainstormed the “We are Open Project.”
The goal was to showcase small businesses in our area on our social media outlets to show the community that these businesses are here, and now that they are able to open again, they would benefit from the community’s support.
We were so pleased with the businesses we were able to meet and photograph. We visited local pottery shops, consignment stores, urgent care and even churches in Fairport.
Just because these businesses are open now, doesn’t mean they don’t have new guidelines to follow that complicate business as they once knew it. The challenges will continue on as they maneuver them all. So they need our support.
This project was one of the ways we knew we could be helpful in a difficult time. We hope that our photographs will shine a little bit of light on our local businesses - and that you’ll check them out too.
You don’t need a large office to create impactful brand photos. In fact, branding photography in small spaces often feels more authentic and approachable. Recently, we photographed a therapist in her one-room Fairport office and captured a full gallery that highlighted her warmth and professionalism. Small spaces can tell your story beautifully and connect you with your audience in a real way.
