The national photograher website was set up by Photographer Rory Witham in 2006 to help photographers list their services, Photographer directories seeem to charge photographers to list there services and this is a ever increasing cost that effect the photographer and the client..
With some photographers carrying out other works in seperate feilds, such as a wedding photographer that may shoot stock photography, we have a stock sales oppertunity from this website, where photographers can tender images to clients. This is handeled though the website and the CRM systems making things easy both for the phtographer and the client.

National photographer takes many services that come traditionally from multipul photographer services providers and rolls them into one easy to use and straight-forward business. We are a photographer Directory, Photographic body, run competitions, promote photographers and offer photographers advertising space hosting and galleries as well.

National Photographer also opperates two directories, one is a Members directory and the layout is in HTML code (web pages) this shows clients looking for photographers that the photographer is committed, we also include within the listing any wards that the photographer has won; this makes finding the right photographer easy as our members have to meet standards whihc we set.
Our Second Photographer directory is a Database driven directory, This uses PHP and SQL to deliver a database of photographers that are both members and non members of national photographer. its a semi automated system that allows photographers to list there business in our directories giving our users an easy way to view all photogrpahers from all feilds of photography within the UK.

Both directories are laid out in a similar way, You can find photographers by there geographical location. You can find photographers by the type (subject) of photography that they do. On the national Photographer website you can also find the photographer by name, these will only be member photographers. but if you have used one of our photographers, or have heard of one of our photogrpahers, then it makes it easy to find them.

The national Photographer members have Mini websites that is a simple one page listing some of the information about the photographer and what they do, its not a sales platform but an introduction to the photographer and client. These hold basic all round information about the photographer which most miss on their own websites.

National Photographer also offers hosting services for photographers, We offer galleries that are secure, we offer holding space and website services to all our photographer members. This can help photographers by using the services to hold a back up website and take a load from their services should they find that their website runs slow due to traffic and bandwidth. Another benefit for photogrpahers is that they recieve more people looking for their services. Traditonally, Photographers have been in high competition with each other, as many joe publics have cameras the competition has increased, not that client will see the results of Joe Public until its too late.

National Photographer is a National UK photographic service that covers all areas of photography, the member photographer contribute to the website and the information that makes this site what it is today. By working together was are stronger and we drive down the ever growing cost in advertising our services and providing the first step for clients to contact photographers for their services, and we provide many welcome services for photogrpahers.

National Photographer from time to time runs competitions for photographers, these can be sponcered competitions or competitions that we run ourselves. you can win anything from holidays to camera equipment. National Photographer also lists other photographic compeltions that may be running globally by pther comapnies and bodies from around the world.

As part of the national Photographer service, We offer a albatory service to clients, and mediate if a problem arises with a photographer member of national photographer. If we find a photographer to not work in the best interest of the clients and the industry, we also keep a list of blacklisted photographers. We pride our selves on service and quality and we hope that none of the member photogrpahers cause any issues and if such an issue should ariise, please contact us.
