Corporate portrait clients are often surprised I’ve noticed; surprised that I arrive with a pile of equipment, surprised that I scout the entire location, surprised when I start moving the furniture (I put it back…), surprised that I take so many photos, and finally they’re surprised that the final images ‘look like they’re out of a magazine’. My experience working with high profile subjects on magazine assignments means that I’m used to working quickly while adapting to the creative and technical challenges of both the location and assignment demands, and all while never compromising on quality. I think that so many businesses are really missing out when it comes to having great images of their staff and even more so with small businesses as the owner often is the company; and with social media now being such a huge part of modern business it’s never been so important to have photos that make the most of that public presence.

8:00AM meeting this morning: Bantham Beach, South Devon. Could be worse, although the only car park there charges a flat rate of £5 regardless of the length of stay! Man, those surfers must have a lot of cash; the place was crawling with them; it’s a big surf break apparently. Was at the beach for a shoot with the good guys at Endurance Life as well as a meeting regarding the details of a forthcoming insanely hard endurance event I’m shooting for both themselves and an editorial client (more on that later…). Bantham is just down the road from the Endurance Life office and provided a convenient outdoor backdrop for the staff photographs; while I enjoy working with a seamless for both corporate portraits and editorial portraits that wouldn’t have been right for a company based around coastal endurance/adventure racing so the beach location and overcast skies (just missed the heavy rain I’m glad to say; it started on my way back) made for the perfect background for the photos. Featured above is Endurance Life Financial and Technical Director James Barker, and below is Customer Service Director Gary Jolliffe.
