A photography service creating premium image libraries, unique and exclusive for your brand or business.
Is that a pickle you’re in?
You need a fresh bank of images for your comms and marketing? But…
A.
Stock Library Images are so generic. They're not tailored and unique to your business or brand’s tone, and any competitor could use the exact same image at any time. And of course, they're pretty cringey.
B.
The fancy pants photographers cost a fortune.
Their rates, licensing and producer fees are just bonkers.
Not to worry…
Good Shot will take care of bizz.
AKA Paul Hermes. Me.
A photographer/art director dedicated to delivering a premium image library that is unique for your brand and business. And of course, affordable. And cringe-free. And easy to work with. And reliable. And…

Photography
My aesthetic is authenticity, so I use natural light whenever I can, but if it’s not available, I light naturally. Always connecting with my subject so the final image connects with the viewers.
Art Direction
With nearly 14 years as an advertising art director I’ve become pretty good at understanding brands, styles and most importantly - tone. And of course how to work professionally and collaboratively with clients.
Production
Pre + Post production, schedules, timings, stylists, H&M artists, talent release forms - I handle it all. But if the job is a biggy, I know who to call.
Management
I’m your point of contact and chaperone through the entire project. Always collaboratively.
I even handle the dry stuff -
quoting and invoicing.

Paul Hermes
Just in case it’s not entirely obvious.. Paul Hermes = Good Shot = Paul Hermes.
PH is for shooting campaigns and unique commissions, GS is for shooting exclusive image libraries. Sometimes I like to call all the images ‘Pools’. A pool of images. Dive in and take your pic.
If I had a Yelp account…
“These shots are awesome!
You should start your own premium image library service.”

"Oh my goodness I have glanced through a few and LOVE THEM ALL. CANNOT CHOOSE.
It's really wonderful work, and Paul you are easy to work with from our side but also have a lovely rapport with the talent."
— Stephanie Wood, TAC
“Last, but by no means least, I want to tell you how much everyone inside the entire organisation loved you. "Paul's a f#*%ng legend" was said to me on multiple occasions, along with "He just felt like
one of us". You really understood us and the work we do, as evidenced by the shots you took - they magnificently captured what The Man Cave is all about. The team and I will be thrilled to work with you again soon.”
