Showing some before and after photos using a few people skills to get the best natural image of someone and relax them in front of the camera.

Read MoreA professional company headshot can really make a difference to a website. I often check out businesses About Us page to see who it is I’m talking too.
The amount of awful and amateur images I see on these pages really saddens me. You can tell that they were taken with a phone in awful light and don’t flatter the person at all.
If a company or business can’t invest photography and in taking decent photos to represent their own business what are they doing with your business.
it just makes sense to me that a business would want to represent themselves as best as they could. So I really enjoy helping them to do so and working with their staff to get great portraits / headshots / profile images.
One of the many things I love about photography is that no two shoot are the same and there really is a wide variety of subjects to photograph. Each shoot is a challenge and there is a pleasure in learning something new every time.
I may be known for my professional people photography and portraits, head shots, company profile etc. and my commercial work, but I love taking interior and architectural photography projects on as well.
This was a commission for a Brighton building and design company who wanted me to document some recent work for them.
There are lots of different ways to capture staff at a company for the About Us page and recently i’ve been working on getting something a bit more informal than a studio set up with a backdrop or a plain wall in the background.
I’ve found that the key to getting good informal photos is to make sure that people are relaxed and having fun in front of the camera and that comes from experience of shooting businesses and people.
So here are some relaxed and informal headshots / profiles from a recent shoot at a law firm and I think they work really well in saying that the company and staff are approachable, relaxed and friendly.
There is something very rewarding about taking company head shots / corporate profile / professional portraits of board members and management teams.
I just love when people don’t have much time and the come into the meeting room which I’ve set my studio up in and I guarantee that the first thing that at least 50% of the people will say to me is: ‘Oh I hate having my photo taken.’ or ‘I’m really not photogenic and have never seen a good photo of me.’
I always see this as a challenge and a wrong to be put right. So I make it my mission to make them look good and for the last thing that they say to me to be: ‘Oh I don’t look bad in that. I really like it and that wasn’t painful at all.’
I really do believe that everyone is photogenic. You just need a good photographer to capture the real you. And this is why it really is worth investing in company head shots / corporate profile / professional portraits for your business.
I had the great pleasure of meeting life coach Regan the other month for a Linkedin / website profile portrait shoot.
In fact we met in a Brighton coffee shop and chatted for ages and drank coffee and I pulled the camera out and took a few portraits.
I really like this informal relaxed way of photographing as it really didn't feel like a shoot at all. I'm a great believer that to get a great portrait / profile shot you need to be relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, so I spend a bit of time trying to get to know my subjects, which I think works out better for both of us.
So please do give me a shout if you'd like to meet for a coffee.......erm.... i mean have a portrait / profile / headshot taken.
Mine's a latte.
