Is there any such thing as a ‘good PR photo’?

Of course there is (but I would say that, wouldn’t I?) Unfortunately, however, there seem to be more bad ones than good ones out there, which tends to give the genre a bad name. A good PR photo will tell

Over time, the imagery will become a key part of the visual element of the firm’s brand.
