Facial Sculpting

I have over 15 years shooting experience as a portrait photographer; meaning I don’t require photoshop effects to make you look slimmer, younger or more attractive. See how I do it.

Is your people photography
Corporate Cool

You’ve invested in a great looking website with wonderful stock images and brand graphics but your people photography isn’t quite hitting the mark because it’s not corporate cool enough.

Your team know it’s not corporate cool because they don’t look great; didn’t feel great having their picture taken, and have felt under-valued ever since it appeared on your great looking website.

I’ve been helping the people behind premiership brands look corporate cool for years and I can do the same for you!”.

Design it

I’ll help you design corporate photography to work with your brand, communications and your people. Or I can recreate a visual you have found yourself. Here’s some examples of how I can help.

Neutral Colour

background

Neutral background colours are easy to repeat with new starters and are easy to remove and replace when used in other corporate communications. These come in all shades of grey and even black is a neutral colour.

Bespoke design

background

With a little technical wizardry I can create a background for you. In this example I have created some controlled sparkle on electric blue to work for a telecoms company who wanted to look modern and hyperreal.

Colours Choices

background

With around 60 colours to choose from I can find a colour background to work with your brand. Clothing colour choice is very important when using a coloured background and I will design a colour palette for you to work to.

Office Blurred

background

Blurred office backgrounds can look great as long as you have well lit office. Either bathed in beautiful bright daylight or with really strong, bright artificial light. This style of shot looks great in isolation but can look visually distracting when displayed together on meet the team page.

Corporate Portrait

Corporate Portrait - includes more of the body
It takes around 15 minutes to shoot a corporate portrait once lighting and location has been set up. A corporate portrait includes more of the body which can be uncomfortable and demotivating for body conscious members of your team. If hands are included it is important you consider what you want your people to actually do with their hands. And my advise is ask your team if they are comfortable having more of their body – rather than just head and shoulders – displayed on your website.
Refine time
Prior to corporate portrait delivery I spend a further 10 minutes refining skin tones, colour, contrast, sharpness and I also remove minor skin blemishes.
