A fun day at the office!

I had a lot of fun photographing this great team on a full day’s shoot at this well-established architectural firm in the city of Nottingham. The directors wanted images for the new website, articles, publications and social media.

Having shot numerous buildings for the practice over a few years now, it was great to finally get to meet the whole team, and to put faces to names. The office is based in an old building that has been beautifully converted over 3 floors into a modern and light contemporary space.

There is a wonderful roof terrace with tables and benches for staff to have lunch or simply take a break with views of rooftops and the city.

I’m so looking forward to photographing future projects for this team in the coming months!          

Headshots for the amazing Claudine Jackson at Trent Wills and Estates

I think the last time I worked with Claudine was five years ago and she decided that that was a long time to have the same shots so got in contact to see if we could work on some new ones together. She’s good fun so of course we had a great time making these images at a local cafe and park as we were having a catch up with lots of talking and laughing. The best images do happen when both subject and photographer are relaxed and enjoying themselves during the shoot. It makes for a more authentic representation of the person being photographed, which is exactly what’s needed when we are showing Claudine as the friendly, approachable and professional entrepreneur that she is. We were lucky with the excellent venue with the deep rich green walls and blessed with great weather in the park.

Headshots for a dream client

When I arrived at the house and Manju told me she had prepared a playlist for our shoot (what a brilliant idea!) I knew we were going to make some great images together. Manju introduced me to some new music (which I’m keen to add to my library!) and we had a fun and relaxed time. It’s always great to work with someone who has a natural warm smile and is full of joy. It’s wonderful to watch someone really enjoy a shoot and collaborate with me to achieve the most authentic representation of who they are as a person. We're both really happy with the results and here are some of my favourite images from the day.
