    A request to photograph a local warehouse and offices provided an interesting and challenging few hours, from architectural shots to production line, each setup requiring a different lighting and photographic technique.

    Below are a few of the images that we supplied for their catalogue.

  • Corporate portraits

    We do a lot of portraits for newsletters and business documents. Mostly the subjects are a bit wary or even frankly terrified so we find the best way is to try to make the session as relaxed, fun and QUICK as we can. The most popular style just now is the informal horizontal shot in the office environment.

    Here are a few examples in the style.
