Bite Studio Profile Photos

Award winning boutique digital agency Bite Studios, commissioned me to take some portraits for them at their Brighton studio. The idea being that we would take a few different types of images that could be used for different purposes. So we took some classic head shots / profile images, some half body portraits and some more character full length portraits. Each of these can be used in different ways for example, on the 'about' page, on blog post to denote the author, on LinkedIn profiles, any company marketing material, when they give talks at conferences etc. By taking a few different styles of portraits in one session we made the most of the photo shoot and Bite got real value for money. Also as with all my corporate portrait shoots, we made a note of the set up, so that when they expand we can shoot new staff members in the same way.

I won't make this a long blog post, i'll just let the pictures do the talking. So check out the big group shot, which can be added to should we need to, the character portraits and the profile shots (which i've converted to black and white, to show you something different as lots of companies want black and white images instead of colour ones)

Environmental character portraits

You know by now that I like taking photos of people. There is something that really interests me about capturing someones personality and taking a photo that really represents them.

Well I was commissioned to take some portraits of top recruitment trainier Roy Ripper for use on his new website that is currently being designed by Brighton Graphic Design agency Very Own Studio. After having a quick hot chocolate with Roy and getting to know him a bit we hatched a plan for some environmental portraits in different locations as well as a studio style shoot afterwards, as Roy had a few different needs for the images. I'm really pleased with the final images and although the ones i'm showing you here are not the final images selected by Roy and Very Own Studio, I feel that they get more of Roy's personality across and that's just the kind of portrait's that I love.

If you're interested in me taking some portraits of you or your company, don't forget that i'm currently doing a special offer offer of HALF PRICE HEAD SHOTS.

Contemporary Magazine Portraits

I was recently commissioned by a Sussex magazine (The Resident) to shoot some alternative / contemporary portraits. They contacted me as they were looking for some portraits that wouldn't be out of place in the sunday supliments from the Times and The Observer. The brief was to shoot a bar man from the Brighton Rocks pub before they opened and get some portaits for an article on a cocktail that they had produced. I didn't have long to shoot, only around 20 minutes and the barman Dan (who had never been photographed professionally) was setting up the pub, but he was brilliant and a natural in front of the camera.

We shot a few 'safer' portraits, and then pushed it a little by being a bit more creative with the framing. I also wanted to get a shot with lots of negative space incase the designer wanted to use that to add text on the page. While I was there I also got a few interior shots for the magazine, but the shoot for me was mainly about getting some quick and creative portraits using natural light and making them interesting enough to stand out on the page.

I'm pleased  to add  this quote from the client: "I absolutely love these. They are the best I have seen - I've been asking others to replicate the stylish shots you see in the Sunday supplements and, until now, no one has delivered the goods!"
