Business and Corporate Portrait Photography
Corporate portraits and headshots are a simple yet effective and important tool for individuals and businesses to manage their profile and image.

Professional corporate Portrait Photography gives potential customers confidence about your business. Portrait Photography also gives a clear message about your culture and ethos as a business. Consistency and professionalism are critical for all portrait photography but there is an opportunity through the styling and wardrobe used, to give a message that tells customers what they can expect when interacting with the person and business. A good company portrait must also be consistent and adhere to company standards, must be easy to isolate and use on different backgrounds, and should convey the company culture.

Corporate Team Portrait Photography
Do you need professional business headshots and portraits for your company or team? We can provide team portraits for your company in the studio or at your offices.

Studio portraits are best for individuals or small groups, but can be inconvenient and difficult to coordinate for larger groups. Shooting on-site is ideal for larger group headshot sessions. Mobile onsite business photography takes place in an open area where we set up the selected backdrop and professional mobile lighting equipment. Shoot durations vary depending on the number of portraits, type and style of headshot portraits being produced, and the amount of time each individual being photographed has available. It is important to consider the room size for the shoot. The smaller the room available, the wider the lens that is required and this can cause undesirable facial distortion. The minimum room size is 5m x 3.5m but a room of 7m x 4m or larger is recommended if possible. A ceiling height of at least 3m is recommended if possible but 2.4m can be used if necessary. Image Retouching and Editing – All corporate portraits photoshoots include a number of professionally retouched and edited images.

Contact Colin Stephenson and let me customise a package for your business to deliver consistent and professional photographic portraits to make your profile shine.

social documentary photography

Editorial & Social documentary photography.
Editorial and social documentary photography aims to tell a story through photos. Literally aiming at the pictures telling 1000 words.

Editorial & social documentary photography can be found in books and magazines, but also on websites, newspapers, and even a presentation during a conference. The aim of editorial photography is supposed to illustrate, inform, and educate.

Editorial photographers can stage and produce an image, so there’s more creative control than other types of photography like documentary or journalism.

Social documentary photographers can not stage and must capture the moment that defines an image, tells the story and makes great journalism.

And you’re not executing a client’s idea like you do in commercial photography. Although, you are going to be on assignment so you do need to follow the briefing.

Just remember that social documentary style means that images should look natural and tell the message in the best possible way.

There are many types of social documentary & editorial photographers, you can specialize in news and events or studio images recreating real-life situations.
