Photography

Photography Services: Bloomington, Indiana

Good photography changes how a website feels. It is the difference between a site that looks like it could belong to anyone and one that clearly reflects your specific team, your space, your work, and your community. Stock photos do not do that. You can see examples of our photography work in our portfolio.

David Martin Design has been photographing people, places, and events in the Bloomington area for years, contributing to the B-Square Bulletin, documenting community events, and shooting for local businesses and organizations. With over 23 million views on Google Maps as a Local Guide, we have a real feel for what makes a compelling image of this place and its people.

What We Shoot

Business and Corporate Photography:

Headshots, team photos, workspace and facility images, and behind-the-scenes coverage. Images that show who your team is and how your business operates, rather than staged or overly formal shots that feel disconnected from reality.

Event Photography:

We cover fundraisers, community events, festivals, graduations, and organizational gatherings. Recent coverage includes our Trashion Refashion 2025 shoot, Little 500, and Habitat for Humanity build events for the B-Square Bulletin. Whether you need a handful of images or a full event gallery, we focus on capturing the energy and specific moments that tell the story of the event.

Website and Marketing Photography:

Photos created specifically to support your web presence: product shots, service documentation, location images, and portraits formatted and optimized for web use. When photography and web design are handled together, the results are visually coherent in a way that is hard to achieve when they are done separately.

Why Original Photography Matters for Your Website

Search engines and AI tools both give weight to original content, including original images with proper alt text and metadata. Stock photos are indexable too, but they do not differentiate your business or reinforce local relevance. Original photography of your actual team, location, and work is one of the most straightforward ways to make your site more credible and more distinctly yours. Original images also perform better when shared on social media.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer video as well?

Yes, for some projects. Short-form video for websites and social media is available. Get in touch to discuss your specific needs and we will let you know if it is a good fit.

How far do you travel for shoots?

We primarily serve Monroe County and surrounding areas, including Bedford, Martinsville, and Columbus. For shoots farther out, travel fees apply. Let us know where you are located and we will give you a clear answer.

What is the turnaround time for edited photos?

Typically one to two weeks for edited, web-ready images. Rush turnaround may be available depending on schedule.
