Corporate Portrait & Narrative

Business photography has come a long way. The aim is to create corporate rock stars and avoid stuffy predictable clichés. Capturing authentic images of the working environment, images that reflect the diversity and camaraderie of a team, has become more important than ever. Tick box stock images are no longer good enough.

Customers, recruits; they want relatability.
