Business Storytelling Photography with Host Coffee Roaster in Chichester, West Sussex


Recently, I had the pleasure of teaming up with Becca, the creative mind behind Host Coffee Roaster in Chichester, West Sussex. As a photographer based in Sussex, I've been enjoying Becca's delicious coffee at my local cafe at The Chapel in Graylingwell Park for a while now, so when I spotted the 'Host Hut' next door where Becca runs her business, I couldn't resist popping in to say hello.


After chatting with Becca for hours and finding out all about her coffee business, I proposed the idea of working on a business storytelling photoshoot together. I'm passionate about capturing stories through photography, focusing on lifestyle shots, movement, portraits, and the all little details that bring a brand to life. Instead of just static product shots and wanted to create a visual narrative that reflected a typical 'day in the life' as a coffee roaster and small business owner.


During our session at the Host Hut, Becca's background as an event stylist brought a whole new level of creativity to the shoot. Together, we captured everything from portraits of Becca at work, to the coffee-making process, from bean to cup. We also made sure to highlight those essential tasks involved in running a small business, like stamping and packaging.


I hope you enjoy looking through some highlights from the shoot. I think the photos we produced together give a real flavour of Becca's passion for coffee-making and how much love and attention goes into making the wonderful coffee that she offers to the local community. This is a curated selection of photos from a 4 hour shoot, producing around 200 edited images which Becca can use for digital or print use on her social media, website, promotional purposes etc. Please check out my packages here.


My business storytelling photography sessions are designed to capture the essence of your business. The first thing we'll do is have a chat, and I'll look at your website, social media, press etc to get a feel for your business's style and personality. I'll then put together a proposal for you setting out how I think I can best tell your story. This might be a similar 'day in the life' session if you're an independent creator, or a series of sessions capturing different aspects of your business if you're a corporate organisation.


If you're a small business owner looking for a photographer in Chichester to tell your story, I'd love to work with you too. I'm always happy to travel and cover the rest of West and East Sussex, Hampshire, Kent, Surrey, Dorset and London too.
