professional portrait photographer
When you're asked to take some relaxed informal business portraits / profile shots of the board members for a London financial / Insurance business, where better is there to go than to a coffee shop and make the most of the different locations in there.
As part of my ongoing project to capture The Way We Work for Viva Brighton magazine, I got to photograph a load of Architect's portraits the other month.
I love how they are all wearing similar tones and colours. Maybe it's an Architect's thing.

I've been photographing a few book authors / writers profile shots recently and I really like getting to know these interesting people during our time shooting. They all seem to be fascinating people with interesting stories to tell.
So I thought i'd share a few of the profile / portrait shots of them here.
I've just finished editing a quick commercial company head shot shoot which I photographed in London last week between board meetings.
I didn't have long with each subject but we managed to do a quite a few different group shots as well as a load of different head shots / profile portraits for each board member in colour and in black & white. I like the challenge of working quickly with people who aren't used to having their photo taken.
If you're looking for any company profile shots / commercial & business staff head shots / corporate profile shots, please do give me a shout as I'd love to hear from you.
I had a great day last month shooting my regular project, The Way We Work for Viva Brighton magazine.
I got to meet and take the portrait of five of Brighton & Hove's home brewers. I even got to take some of their delicious beers home with me.

I've been very fortunate to meet Brighton Science Festival Founder Richard Robinson twice now and to take his portrait on two separate occasions about a year apart. Both times I was amused and entertained by Richard as he told stories / tales / facts / jokes etc.
It's funny how someones mood can influence a portrait. The first time that I met Richard he was in a really good mood and the main impression that I got from him was of a mad eccentric English scientist so I think that came across in the portrait (the bottom shot). However the second time, Richard was recovering from an illness so was more subdued and although still entertaining, he was a bit calmer and again, I think that came across in the portrait.
I managed to take my family along to this years Brighton Science Festival and we had a fantastic time there with the kids getting really stuck in. So until next year Richard and whatever mood you are in, it will be a pleasure to hopefully take your portrait yet again.
It's always nice to see how your work ends up being used and i'm very pleased to share this with you.
So this is the end result of a head shot / profile shoot that I did with the lovely Hayley Lawes (who I met back in 2010 when I shot her wedding). She wanted something simple that could be used in a few different ways, so I suggested a few different set ups and a change of clothes to get the most out of the portrait shoot. And I'm so pleased with how it turned out. I didn't think the website would be as image heavy as it is and I think it looks great.
Hayley is so professional and great at what she does and I love how her coaching site really shows her off as she is really selling herself.
