Socially Distanced Headshots – can we do them? Yes – absolutely! But first let’s review the present situation… At the time of writing (Sept 2020) we are still not “out of the woods” yet as regards the coronavirus pandemic. Everybody is having to balance taking
Just as the Covid-19 lockdown started at the end of March 2020, I was hired by Elite Systems GB to document the construction of a new isolation ward at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford.
Now this was a fun day out! Not just for the participants but for me as well… I was hired to document a track day at Bedford Autodrome for Mercedes-Benz Fleet dealers.
On Wednesday last week I had the pleasure of photographing Sophie, Countess of Wessex as she volunteered with Surrey Drive to support their local initiative to provide food for NHS workers during the coronavirus emergency.
My regular clients the Pull Agency recently convened a seminar / workshop / brainstorming session for the English wine industry. They brought together wine growers, wine merchants and other industry figures.
So I had an email one Thursday afternoon from BBC Global in New York – they were looking for a photographer to take some editorial portraits for a web feature they were putting together about Barney Whiter, a financial guru.
Very often when I’m doing headshots they are of people in business dress who work in offices. All good, but not much variety! So I was pleased to be asked by craftsman Will Lingard to create some portraits of him.
Recently I had the pleasure of photographing the revamped restaurant at Mercedes Benz World in Weybridge. It’s a spectacular modern building that incorporates a museum, offices and a café and restaurant as well as a car dealership.
My photography work covers a wide range of subjects, but one of the most frequent requests I get is for business portraits, aka “headshots”. Clients use these in a variety of ways – on their business cards, their website, in printed brochures, and especially on social media.
Recently I had the pleasure of working with local entrepreneurs Wendy & Julia, to create some new business portraits for their websites and social media.
