Another fun business portrait session

Here’s a few of my favourites from my recent shoot with paid search masters Net Media Planet. They’d hired some new staff, so called me back in to capture some fun headshots of the new team. Absolutely love working with these guys as we get to be creative and produce headshots that are beyond your average business portrait. Net Media Planet are a fun, young and vibrant company and these images help show that to their clients.

Thanks guys for being great sports and making it a fun shoot. Already looking forward to the next one :)

Here’s a few photos from my recent shoot with GlaxoSmithKline. We needed a lot of gear for this one as there were several different setups required. On top of that tight schedules of the people being photographed meant we had to leave our first setup as is, while we went to shoot other people within the grounds, then back to our original setup. It was a busy day but we achieved a lot so I was happy. In total we had 8 flash units, 11 stands and countless cases of gear. Our poor little hire car probably didn’t know what had happened to it!

First we setup a full studio onsite:

Then we took quite a few photos of different people on white seamless. Here’s Ian, a rather important chap at GSK but very down to earth and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Proofing the images with the client:

The super happy woman hiding in the shot behind me? That’s Carol. I roped her in to help me make my subjects laugh. She was awesome!

Onto the meeting room shots that will be used for brochure/PR use. I wanted a natural look to these images but also didn’t want them to be flat and boring. Ended up using two flash units on very low power, just to add some definition and boost the ambient light in the scene.

And of course you can’t go to one of the worlds biggest pharmaceutical companies without getting a few obligatory lab shots :)

Thanks GSK. Look forward to working with you guys again soon.

Cheers,
Damian

Portrait photography for Neutron Creations

Here’s some images from my shoot with Ben and Marc from Neutron Creations. Together they develop some very well put together web apps, and needed some new profile images to go with their recently launched site. Ben and Marc are also both keen photographers, so we wanted to do something a little bit creative and different to the usual corporate headshots. Here’s the result:

To achieve this look, we used 2 flashes to overpower the sun. This is what the scene would have looked like shot as is. Rather flat and boring:

The flash on my left was on full power, with the one on my right around 25% to fill in the shadows.

For this final shot of Marc we moved locations and just used the one flash and one reflector. This time I covered the flash with a blue gel, which when corrected in camera gives the sky more of a sunset look than can ever be achieved naturally in London:

Best of luck with the new venture Ben and Marc!

Conceptual image for Net Media Planet

Paid search experts Net Media Planet contacted me back in July to create a visually impressive image for them. They were wanting to have an image of their director, Sri Sharma, that could be used for PR and show what their business was all about. Together with my retoucher Tony, and Net Media Planet’s marketing exec Pavitra, we worked on a few concepts and ended up with the following rough mock-up:

From here we knew what we needed to shoot to make the image for real. Here’s Sri performing one of the countless poses I made him do that day!

Tony then took the image of Sri and worked some serious magic to create the final image

Net Media Planet also managed to secure a place at number 16 in The Sunday Times Fast Track 100 for Tech companies. The image of Sri was run in the Tech Track 100 supplement which is an absolutely fantastic bit of press coverage. Well done guys!

Thanks Pavitra and Sri for letting us get creative on this one. And of course a big thanks to the ever helpful Tony for bringing the ideas to life. You’re a superstar!

Joseph Nathan needed some new headshots to go along with his new business venture.

The first two were shot in the studio to recreate a very specific style that Joseph was after:

Corporate_Photographer-2

For this 3rd image, we stepped outside for a more casual look that he could use for social networking.

Best of luck with the new business venture mate!
