Why use Vincent MacNamara Photography for your school?

School photos are important memories. Photos are the first thing most people try to save in a home emergency. 

 

For many companies, school photography is a numbers game. The larger companies treat school photos like a production line, with pupils  only spending a matter of seconds in front of the camera. These factory type businesses depend on the quantity of photos taken rather than the quality. It’s all about photographing the maximum number of children in the shortest possible time. Vincent believes that parents deserve more. He spends longer with each pupil - up to three minutes on average - longer if required. Now that everyone has a camera in their phone school photos need to be something special in order to stand out, and not something done as cheaply as possible.
