Corporate Photographer in The City

This was from a series of photographs I took in The City. I was trying to capture some generic corporate photographs that would show corporate life in The City. This was taken in Leadenhall Street and I had the shot framed but was waiting to get the right business man to walk through the shot, whilst praying the sun would stay out and that the traffic lights would stay red, keeping the traffic out of the frame. What is interesting is that I feel the sunlight bouncing off the chrome railings gives the photograph ‘The City’ atmosphere I was after, but it was rejected by one picture library because of lens flare.

Corporate office photography

Do corporate mugshots on a white background give a good first impression to potential clients?

These were shot for a corporate events business in Berkshire. They liked my reportage corporate photography and asked me to spend a couple of hours capturing staff portraits around their head office. What really pleases me about these is that they are not only a good example of corporate portrait photography, but they give a really good impression of the company. You get the feel and atmosphere of how they work and communicate. Informal corporate photography needs to show your people in an approachable and professional light. So many companies see corporate portrait photography as a requirement that needs to be fulfilled as a page allocated on a website or a brochure. We have clicked on the ‘about us’ and ‘meet the team’ link and been faced with rows of headshots on a white background. What does that tell you about a company? Use your corporate portrait photography as a positive marketing tool.

Event photographer Hampshire

A few portraits shot at a Hampshire networking event. The event was organised by Haley Storey who runs the Portsmouth About My Area website. The event portraits are of the key speaker Ian Dickson a performance coach. Ian was a very good subject to photograph as he has a natural confidence in front of an audience. If you capture good event photography at your next event, it will benefit the marketing of any future events.

Creative corporate portraits

Recent commission for a corporate client who wanted portraits for press release and some more informal portraits of the corporate team around their offices. Corporate portraits should be creative and have an edge to them. This can help your corporate branding stand out from your competitors. The problem with shooting this type of corporate portrait is that unless the clients are up for being creative then the portraits can end up on the cutting room floor. In the instances when a client has gone for the more creative approach and it has really paid off for them (and me). I shot a campaign for a national law firm over 10 years ago and I am still getting requests from other law firms to reproduce their style of photography.

Social Media Portraits

Commission a social media portrait or call Grantly 07831 366136

I have noticed an increase in commissions for social media portraits. Clients are starting to notice that their social media portrait or avatar on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn needs to be as good as other corporate portraits they use other media. You do not get a second chance to make a good first impression. Make sure your social media portrait avatar is saying all the right things about you. Don’t upload a family portrait of you on a boat at the weekend or half way up a mountain, your social media portrait is selling you and your business to potential clients.

Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn can be great way to network your business. But if your social media portrait avatar sends out the wrong signals ie it does not make you look professional and approachable, what you post, comment or tweet about will have to contend with this negative impression.

PR photographer Portsmouth

Taken from a series of press release portraits for Rob Osborne at Chosemycare.com Ltd who wanted some good portraits for general PR and to help promote their new website. This photograph is all about composition. There are only three elements to the portrait and the balance of the composition needs to work really well.

This was taken last month at the new London Stock Exchange in Paternoster Square. I have been experimenting with photographing through glass. This can diminish image quality, but I think the benefits of interesting reflections balance this out. This was shot across the London Stock Exchange glass stairwell. I think the reflections add atmosphere to the photograph, and give a better feel of business in The City.

Commercial Photographer Hampshire


I have been undertaking commercial photography in Hampshire for over 20 years.

If you would like to commission me or have any questions please call me on 07831 366136 or email

Recent commercial commission for an excellent designer in Hampshire. I spent a day capturing natural photographs in an aerospace business in Southampton.

This is where I add value to a project as a photographer. I change an otherwise fairly ordinary looking commercial factory into a set of contemporary and interesting images.

I have worked in Hampshire as a commercial photographer for over 20 years. When I started, commercial commissions were normally art directed and involved a photographer’s assistant and photographer to carry loads of heavy lighting and medium format photography kit. Most Hampshire based companies would commission photography via an ad or design agencies and the photo shoot would be visualised so I would have to try and capture good commercial images that related to the visuals. This process was very time consuming and it took a long hard day to shoot half a dozen images. I decided about 10 years ago that this commercial photography process was slow, expensive and lacked any spontaneity.

All my commercial photography commissions wether they are in Hampshire or London are shot without art direction. The client will brief me with a shot list and then will let me capture good creative photography throughout the day. As a commercial photographer working within tight budgets and time constraints, I can now produce a wide variety of contemporary commercial images in a single day.
