icp provides a variety of creative services. Ian, himself, is sometimes linked to other photographic teams in the capacity of photographer.
Most of the time , Ian works with his photographic assistant and stylist, producing comprehensive, scheduled work from client layout to supplying top quality digital images. When projects include room sets, Ian dovetails his set builders to the team.
From time to time, Ian provides a set building service for a variety of photographers to include set design to finished build.
In the fast moving internet world, there is the infrastructure to produce quality internet photography, in large quantities and within tight schedules and budgets, Photographic merchandise can be collected on request and returned on completion.

Table top product photography is another strength, with the provision of a one to three photographic team and with a view to rapid turnaround.
Whilst icp prides itself on producing top quality digital images, this is endorsed by post production retouching.
Producing quality images for mail order, advertising, retail and catalogue / literature projects, Our teams are put together to service the individual job.
Set building being the backbone of our service allows us to build bespoke and simplistic sets to service the clients’ requirements. Our set building team, along with the large variety of walls and set components, build sets in many lifestyles; modern, classic, country, modern country, ethno chic and children’s rooms. Our selection of laminated floors puts the finishing touch to great sets.
Our stylists are selected from a group of freelancers who specialise in their respective fields. Petra works with us most of the time and on the room set projects. We would like to say thank you to Liz Leighton who recently retired and who was instrumental in providing a standard of styling that enabled us to work with Heinrich Heine GmbH for over 23 years.
We house a large selection of props which allow flexibility and choice. Special props are purchased and hired in line with the individual job requirement.
In post production, our retouchers, who are also photographers, make our quality images even better. They double up as photographers when we get a large influx of internet or table top product photography.
Phase one digital equipment linked to our Hasselblad camera systems and combined with our strobe lighting system, “the fastest and sharpest electronic flash ever made”, enables us to produce top quality images. All this is backed up with an infrastructure of considerable hardware and storage.
Because of our extensive experience we also undertake full catalogue production, from design to print management. This service is primarily for large catalogue production that needs close control throughout.
