About Image Approvals

From managing thousands of stills to protecting reputations and meeting deadlines, we make the approval process seamless, secure, and effortlessly professional.

Who We Are

Technical professionals with creative vision

Born on‑set and built in code, Image Approvals was founded by award‑winning unit stills photographer Aimee Spinks. After years watching productions struggle to manage talent photo approvals and navigate technical stills delivery requirements, she teamed up with developers and post‑production pros to create a platform that treats stills with the same care as the footage they help sell.

Today our tight‑knit UK team blends creative instinct with technical rigour to give productions complete confidence in their photos.

What We Do

We look after every step of the stills journey so your team can stay focused on making great stories:

Prep & Shoot Support

From sourcing the perfect unit photographer to coverage planning and shoot scheduling.

File Management

Secure ingest of files, loss‑prevention checks, intelligent file naming, tagging, and metadata embedding across all file types including RAW and JPG.

Talent Photo Approvals

Our online portal tracks kill allowances, offers one‑click approvals, and delivers export‑ready contact‑sheet and spreadsheet reports.

Editorial Finishing

Curation, captioning, and image editing that turn raw frames into press‑ready assets.

How We Work

Tech‑Forward, People‑First 

Custom‑built web tools handle the heavy lifting, while real humans keep an eye on every file and every deadline.

Security at the Core

Cyber Essentials certification, and our passion for process and best practice mean your stills and data stay safe.

Details Matter

A single missed approval or bad planning can cost thousands - so we sweat the small stuff before it becomes big stuff.

We’re Nice Humans

Clients stick around because we answer the phone, fix issues fast, and cheer you on right through to release day.
