Tempest Photography: Capturing Military Milestones

Those training and working in the military will encounter various milestones that deserve to be captured on camera. Passing out parades. Royal visits. Regimental Sergeant Majors’ (RSM) conventions. International exercises and deployments. The list goes on.

Tempest Photography is proud to offer three photography services for the military sector, which it has supported for over two decades. Here’s an overview of these three services.

1. Military Portraits

Tempest is widely recognised for its classic portraits, which it captures in schools and early years settings, at graduations, and at military events UK-wide. These timeless shots are popular choices that families keep for generations.

Customers can choose from a broad range of photo products. These include great-value combination packs, traditional presentations, and contemporary frames. Customers can also order the photos on foil-blocked mounts with a crest or insignia.

Tempest’s seamless photography system allows customers to view images instantly in the studio. This studio will be set up at an easily accessible venue. For example, at a Passing out parade, Tempest sets up studios within easy reach of the Parade Square. At larger parades, they set up two studios to minimise queuing times.

2. Military Groups

Military groups are often large, but Tempest Photography can accommodate such groups with staging that holds up to 1,200 people. This patented, purpose-built staging allows the photography leaders to capture all individuals together in one photograph.

Tempest has built this high-specification, aluminium staging to offer a safe, efficient solution for large groups. It meets all safety requirements, undergoes regular component checks, and receives an annual inspection from an independent structural engineer. It’s also underwritten by comprehensive liability insurance and distributes weight over a large area to protect artificial surfaces and grass.

On occasions where there are more than 1,200 individuals to include, Tempest will combine several smaller shots into one extra-large group image.

3. Location Photography

Aside from attending celebratory occasions to capture military portraits and group shots, Tempest will photograph teams on location. This service is especially popular at the final exercise in basic training.
