Corporate portraits are my speciality, I have taken literally thousands of them, and a large selection of examples can be viewed in the gallery on the home page of this website.
The image of yourself that you use is extremely important – you never get a second chance to make a good first impression. Your website or Linked-in profiles are your shop windows, they are where people will go in the first instance to find out about who you are and what you do.
I work in a relaxed and informal way, to help me set you at ease. Then in conversation, I will generate a range of expressions that I can capture – from quite serious through to relaxed and smiling – you do not need to create or manufacture the right look. I aim to make it an enjoyable and relaxed experience, not a chore to be endured.
Then we will sit at my computer, and I will give you advice about which images best capture the impression you are seeking to project. Together we will create a shortlist of likely images, which you can then take away with you – you can keep as many images as you want in this shortlist. Later you can tell me which you have chosen.
Standard Session: A business portrait sitting with up to 30 minutes camera time and up to two backdrops (typically light and dark, but sometimes just one if that is all that is required) – a change of clothes or formality if required – supply of the shortlisted images on USB (typically about 12 to 15 images, but up to you) – in Hi and Lo resolution and including retouching of the best image:
in the studio £125
on location £150
A business sitting includes the shooting, viewing, editing, shortlisting and retouching of the selected image, and supply of Hi and Lo resolution images on USB.
I will provide copyright release for you to use any of the images as you wish, without extra charge, and I am happy to re-size or retouch images as requested, including B+W versions if required.
Extra people sharing the same sitting are charged at a reduced rate of £45 each for the first four, and £35 each thereafter.
Additional images can be retouched in Photoshop for £15 each.
Extended Session: A portrait session for modelling, film extra work, or a theatre portfolio of up to 60 minutes camera time – up to three backdrops and up to three changes of clothes – supply of full set of shortlisted images on USB (as many as you want) – in Hi and Lo resolution and including retouching of the best three: £195
