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 look behind the scenes on a photo shoot with Viva La Bop. Video camera work by the legendary Paul Bates. Editing by the superstar that is Nadine Schneider. Watch it in the player below or for the full HD version head on over here.

A few of the final images:

It was a super long day, but we managed to get some great images all out of the one (albeit destroyed at the end of the day!) bedroom:

Corporate photography for GSK

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!
