Portraits - on location # 2.

Here's a couple more portraits I did recently for Lancome.  I was photographing counter staff to be used in store for promotional purposes.  I shot on location at their office using a white background and photographed in colour.  I then converted the images to black & white as requested by the client.

I've just posted regarding a studio shoot recently for Estee Lauder.  Here's now a few portraits I did for my clients Romans.  Romans, a Berkshire based Estate Agents, are a massive company who use me a lot for all their PR and marketing photography.  Anything from my branch openings to new development Open Days. I also shoot a lot of portraits for them from individual images to group shots.  

I always go their offices to shoot and take lighting and backgrounds.  At a recent shoot for them I photographed over 20 staff as well as a number of group portraits in a couple of hours.  I used a white wall in the office for background.

Here's just a couple of images - a few colour head shots as well as black and white group shot, photographed within the offices.

 

 

Portraits - a studio shoot.

I've always loved portrait photography.  Over the last few months I've been working more and more on corporate portraits for a number of my clients.  The work ranges from studio shoots (which I can arrange) to portraits shot within a clients office space.  The images can be anything from formal, classic corporate head shots to more modern images.  The great thing is I shoot portraits in any location meaning that I can travel to wherever clients happen to be.  The background can be something within the office space (a white wall/brick wall) or I can put up a background.  I have added flexibility in that I have both mains operated lighting and battery-operated lighting system. 

Here's a few portraits I did recently in a studio for Origins (Estee Lauder).  I was photographing 'real life' users of the Plantscription product.  These images will be used in-store to promote the product on counter.

Style bible Wonderland invited some of the capital's coolest movers and shakers to swanky Brompton Club to launch their new Spring fashion issue.  L'Oreal and Wonderland produced a special supplement with the magazine in celebration of their 10 year relationship.  The party was one cool place to be.

London Fashion Week A/W 11 - Charlie le Mindu

Well here's one I didn't see coming - although I'm sure the crowds of fashionistas who flocked to the show were expecting the unexpected and that they certainly got.

French wig-maker Charlie Le Mindu (he of Lady Gaga fame) provided the eclectic audience who crammed into the Mercer Studios in London's Covent Garden with a sensationalist, dark, 'cabaret' show and they loved it.  Hundreds of people had waited in line to get a peek of the show, Daphne Guiness couture collector/muse/fashion icon sat front row.

The show opened with what is now a recurring theme for Le Mindu, a completely naked model.  Covered in blood, wearing a head piece stating VIOLENCE in block capital letters, in no uncertain terms the tone of the show was set.

Perspex, lace, plastic, pony-haired clothes came down the runway, as well as gas masks, muzzles, blood dipped tresses and towering mohawks.  The soundtrack to it all was just as dramatic, squealing pigs off to slaughter.

A brave, daring show and one that certainly marks Le Mindu out as the new 'enfant terrible' of the fashion world.

Danielle & Nicks wedding, Somerset

The most beautiful wedding. The ceremony was at St. James's Church in Ashwick, a village near Wells in Somerset. The reception was hosted by the brides family at their stunning home, Ashwick Court.

Prince of Wales visit, Stannah Group, Andover

The Prince of Wales pushed the button to start production of the 500,000th stairlift during a visit to the family-run Stannah factory.

Prince Charles spent two hours at the factory in Andover touring the assembly line and meeting several generations of the Stannah family and their workers.  

The Stannah Group is a long standing British, family-owned company with members of the Stannah family still very much hands-on in running the business. 

It was a great day with the Prince taking the time to talk to many of the Stannah family, young and old, as well as a number of the workers at the factory.

Dom Perignon branded club night, Jalouse

Back in 1981 Andy Warhol was thinking about the future. On one night out in New York, he ran into the so-called 2,000 Club, in his own words "a club of twenty guys who got together and they're going to buy 2,000 bottles of Dom Pérignon which they will put in a sealed room until the year 2,000 and then open it up and drink it and so the running joke is who will be around and who won't..."

Taking this plan and running with it,  the grande champagne marque recently commissioned the Design Laboratory at Central Saint Martin's to reinterpet its bottle in Warhol's style - the first time that Dom have permitted their design to be tampered with.

The result: champagne that pops even before it's opened!

So, in December 2010 I was commissioned by my client at Dom Perignon to capture the work they were doing with their Andy Warhol inspired bottle in association with a number of exclusive nightclubs in London. The branded evenings were great fun with the beautiful people on the cities party scene capturing the spirit of Studio 54!  So lots of Warhol branding and people drinking DP!
