A company wrote this morning: 28 people, a seminar in three weeks, portraits and a team photograph. I had to say no, both dates were already booked.
This is how corporate photography usually arrives. The venue is chosen, the catering is chosen, the programme is written, and photography is remembered last.
Two things worth knowing if you are planning one.
Individual portraits work best in the evening, after the programme. People have relaxed by then, and four minutes each is enough for someone to stop apologising for how they look and start looking like themselves.
The group photograph belongs to the next morning, while everyone is still in one place and the light is kind.
What I need from you is one room with a window and a wall that is not patterned. Not a studio, not equipment. A window.
And book earlier than feels necessary. Not because dates are scarce, but because photography ends up in whatever slot is left over.
Comment SHOOT and I will be in touch.
