I can deliver!

By |2020-09-15T08:29:05+00:00June 23rd, 2020|Corporate background headshots, Hints & Tips, Personal branding|

The headline reminds me of an old joke about a man who goes into a butcher’s shop… Anyway back to the story. People who are in business for themselves, whether they’re 
self-employed or own their small company, are business leaders or are looking to change jobs or advance their careers tend to have a presence on social media, and more often than not, have a website.

have stunning headshots?

As a portrait photographer, I look at every portrait photo and study it. The first thing I notice is how it portrays the person. What does the photo say? What messages does it transmit? Can I see their eyes properly? [...]

Natural light headshots Manchester based architects, Northmill Associates commissioned us to photograph new headshots for all their team at a new bar they had designed in Manchester's fashionable Northern Quarter. We decided that natural light headshots would work really well with the textures and materials used in the construction of the bar. The bar has some interesting features inside so a few of the photos were taken inside the bar using a Profoto B1 portable flash and 1200mm Octabox. Fortunately we had plenty of height to work with but it produces amazingly soft light.   Manchester - a city [...]

By |2020-06-13T05:36:39+00:00March 20th, 2020|Corporate background headshots, Hints & Tips|

Neat and professional, a corporate headshot is designed to give a strong first impression – establishing your personal identity and that of your business or brand. An essential part of marketing and establishing yourself in a marketplace, presenting a high-quality professional headshot can help give you a ‘leg-up’ on the competition. That can be as simple as being able to put a face to a name, raising awareness through advertising or using a striking look to plant a memorable image in people’s minds.

Headshots with Libertas Wealth Management

By |2020-06-14T08:28:48+00:00January 24th, 2020|Branding, Business portraits, Corporate background headshots, Headshots, Photography|

What goes into creating great headshots? Last summer I received a phone call from Helen at Libertas Wealth Management in Warrington. I'd met Helen at a few networking events and a couple of charity dos in Warrington and had got to know her as we'd chatted about our work and the companies we mix with. They'd talked to a couple of photographers but they didn't seem to be on the same wave length. Previous staff photo sessions always seemed to fall short of their expectations so this could have been a tough brief. It turned out to be the opposite. [...]
