Commercial photography

I photograph people at work, business premises, interiors, retail spaces and food. Assignments range from documenting a completed project to creating a collection of photographs for a company website or marketing campaign.

The coverage can combine your team, working environment and the details of what you do, giving you photographs that show your business clearly.

Headshot Photography

Corporate team headshots

I bring a mobile studio to your workplace to photograph your team on site. Consistent lighting and backgrounds give the photographs a coherent appearance across your website, staff profiles and business communications.

I provide direction throughout each session to help people feel comfortable in front of the camera. This service is designed for corporate teams, with sessions arranged around your working day.

His eye for design is outstanding, and he offered helpful advice on styling adjustments that made a real difference to the final shots.
