Business photography, commercial
The gentle touch – massage therapy

Business photography can involve shooting photographs outdoors, such as site buildings and offices, or indoors for product photography or staff portraits. I’ve done all of these things across a very broad range of industries and environments!   Factory products large or small, and members of staff can be photographed by bringing the items or people to a static studio, or on location using a portable studio. Often the latter is much preferable for obvious reasons, but crucially it achieves the same results. I have all the equipment – lights, stands and backgrounds – necessary to create the look of a professional studio while working on location.

event photography, Derby

As a Derby photographer I’m asked to provide event photography for all kinds of occasions. One such event is the annual Peak Awards ceremony held at The Roundhouse in Derby, a fabulous venue for any event. It’s a celebration of achievements by learners across the College and its many sites.  for the past few awards ceremonies, and here are a handful of images from the recent event. The photographs are used by the College to promote its business in Press Releases, promotional material, on social media and in the prospectus. In addition to photographing the winners with their trophies I try to capture some of the atmosphere of the event as the guests arrive and enjoy the entertainment and their meal. In the business world event photography is an important tool for communicating a positive image to potential customers. [Read more…]

Business Portraits in Derby

Creating the right visual image for your company is a vital part of promoting your product in the modern business world. Of course, the product is what defines your business, but customers do like to be able to identify with the people behind the product, too. Consequently, companies are now very keen to use business portraits to present the human side of their business. As a Derby photographer I’ve been called on several times recently to provide corporate headshots and other portrait photographs for local businesses. Some companies prefer to have a location portrait as this can create a more informal look, where others opt to have a photo shoot with studio lighting and a white backdrop for a professional image.

Commercial photography on location – photos for Middlesbrough FC

commercial photography, Derby

Every so often a commercial photography job comes along which is a little out of the ordinary. I was recently contacted by Origination, the Derby-based marketing agency, to carry out a location shoot of a sporting nature. It transpired that the location was in Darlington and the job was to photograph the team members of Middlesbrough FC wearing their new season’s strip. The team is sponsored by Adidas, so the shoot had to be carried out with careful attention to presenting the clothing in the best light, and to make the players look appropriately heroic.

Street photography or street theatre? Philip-Lorca DiCorcia at The Hepworth Wakefield

by

Philip-Lorca DiCorcia: Head, 2011

Their faces are larger than life-size, lit dramatically and looming out of the darkness. They could be actors in a stage play, but in fact are strangers photographed on the street, caught as they walk into the pool of light created by the photographer’s flash gun positioned overhead. They all have the slightly blank expression of people walking through a crowded street, and have been caught unawares by Philip Lorca DiCorcia’s camera. [Read more…]
