Business portraits

Preparation is key in corporate photography, because you have to get the shot. As a professional, that is what you are being paid to do.

For example, when I photographed financial expert Liam Croke, I was set up to start shooting in the company corporate style, before he arrived. We began the session after a brief chat, but shortly after, the time originally allocated had to be seriously curtailed, when one of Liam's clients arrived early for a meeting.

Fortunately, I work very quickly and not only did we get the required images, but in a really short time produced a variety of poses and setups which can be used in the future.

I guess, in corporate photography, the motto is: Always be prepared!
