When you think about  ‘natural headshot photography’, what does that mean?

Lots of things about a headshot can be natural, including light, location, look, pose and expression.

In fact, the more genuine a headshot is the better, because it shows how you really look when you are happy, relaxed and confident.

Why Have A Natural Headshot Photo?

Headshots can be used for many purposes. They are suitable for work, social media, actors, musicians. In fact there are not many places where they don’t work.

My whole process is centred around getting the most genuine headshot I can.

To do this you need to feel relaxed and confident, and also be in a situation where you are comfortable. You need to know how to stand, or site to give the most natural pose. And you need to be in a location that gives light that works perfectly for headshots.

You also need to be confident in your photographers ability to get the shots you need. It’s a complete waste of time and money otherwise.

Headshots Are Second Nature To Me

People often come for a headshot session feeling slightly apprehensive but leave saying it was actually quite enjoyable.

When they see the photos, clients say things like “You really got me!”. To me, that means I have captured natural photos, because to “get someone” in a photo means you have captured their real expression and the way they really look.

The opposite it something that is staged, awkward and forced. Rarely is that a good look for a headshot.

So, if you want something similar, get in touch.

I create images for brands who want to tell stories and build strong narratives. I work with agencies, PR firms, brands and companies in the UK and Europe.

Brand Photography

I work with many clients who run corporate events and need good photography. These clients are either full time event companies or organisations which run events as one of their services.

Here are the the top two reasons you may need good corporate event photography:

– To make the event look engaging so that potential attendees will want to come to future events.
– To make the event look busy so that potential sponsors and exhibitors will want to come to future events.

A common way of working is to provide a few images throughout the day that can be uses on social media, and then the final, edited photos are supplied a day or two after the event. Clients can let me know their deadlines so I can work to that.

A brief is a useful thing when hiring a corporate event photographer. This should set out which images are essential for you. Some events really want lots of shots of the speakers, others are more focussed on getting the crowd in the shot, showing them them having a good time. Sometimes you may need to ensure you have all of your sponsors logos shown in the images.

The best events to work at and photograph are those with great light, large rooms, and lots of variety. If it’s a small event, great photography can still be captured, but the variety of images may not be as great.

I’ve worked at venues that vary in size from the Excel Centre to an office meeting room.

Here are a few of my corporate event photos:

Do you need professional pictures so that you or your company look accomplished, businesslike and experienced? As a professional photographer in London, it’s my day to day job to create professional photos for people and businesses, like these:

Because I’m a professional photographer, I’m quick and efficient at taking photos like these for individual people who need images for work, and for businesses who have a number of staff to be photographed. I also take photos for authors, musicians and anyone who needs photos for work reasons.

Why Have Professional Pictures?

Professionally created images, as opposed to selfies, holiday snaps, or photos taken by the office photography enthusiast are much more likely to make you look exactly as you want to look and portray your image in the correct way. Creating professional level photography is not only about the technicalities of focus, lighting, composition and file formats. It is also about working with the person in the picture and creating an image that they are pleased to use on their website, social media channels and company reports.

How To Create High Quality Photos

To create professional photography, you need to create an environment where the subject is relaxed, happy and confident. The lighting needs to be perfect and created specifically for each person. You need to know how to correctly position your subject to make them look engaged and interested so it’s good to use either a studio where everything is under the control of the photographer, or the images can be created at your office and the environment can be incorporated into the picture to tell more of a story.
