corporate photography

Capturing those moments of industry and concentration, when your presence appears inconsequential to those being photographed in the factory, office, class-room or on-site.  Those candid moments come with an intimacy you feel fortunate to have witnessed.

The narrative is important, as is the environment you find them in.  Environmental portraiture is perhaps a good term for this type of photography and observing the relationship those you are photographing have with their workplace.

group shots

Emails ping and calls vibrate, reminding us that the day job is vying for attention. Coordinating group shots can be an achievement in itself. Everybody in one place, at the same time, perhaps only for minutes before the shift starts, trains leave or other meetings beckon. I’m pragmatic about this, everyone is busy and I approach group photography with a fleet of foot.  Assessing the space, composing and setting up the shot prior to arrivals ideally.  Bag the shots whilst the smiles are natural, and faces relaxed. When the smiles fail to reach the eyes and hands delve to retrieve buzzing phones, time’s usually up!

head shots

“I hate having my photograph taken”. I hear it often. Me too!  I’m happier behind than in front of the camera.  Just the prospect of lens scrutiny exposes our vulnerabilities. However, I feel privileged to spend this time with you. Albeit fleetingly, for those few moments, we’re a team, with a job to do and together we’ll get some fab shots.

When you leave happy. I’m happy too.
