'Free Charity Photography for a Year' with Stockton Commercial Photographer

A TEESSIDE based photographer is celebrating five years in business by offering one North East charity the chance to Win Free Photography for a Year*

Stockton-based photographer Dave Charnley set up his business Dave Charnley Photography in 2008 after a 20-year career as a press photographer, including a 11-year stint with the Middlesbrough Evening Gazette.  Specialising in commercial photography for businesses and PR agencies, and natural reportage weddings, his client base stretches from North Yorkshire to the Scottish border

 To celebrate five years of photographing everyone from celebrities and the Royal Family to brides and business people, he is giving away a full day’s photography time*, worth hundreds of pounds, to the winning local charity.

Dave said: “In my years as a North East photographer I’ve worked with lots of charities, and I know how hard it is for the smaller ones, particularly at the minute when everyone is cutting back and donations are at an all-time low.

“There is so much great work going on in our region but it’s hard for small organisations to afford professional publicity pictures.

“I’m giving away a full day of my time, and that can be taken in one day or split into shorter sessions over a period of a year if that’s what the winner prefers.

“If you look at the bigger charities you can see a picture really does tell a thousand words, and this is my way of marking five years in business and giving local charities a chance to compete with the big names.

“I’m hoping a great set of pictures that they can use on posters, leaflets and websites or send to the media with news stories will help encourage more support and donations to come in.”

Entries are open to any charitable organisation within a 50 mile radius of Stockton, approximately from around Durham down to Redcar, and from Hartlepool across to Northallerton.
