Evening photoshoot of a couple in love

Posted on 27/09/2019

This first set of photos are amongst our favourites from this photoshoot, where they’re both looking beautifully posed in a natural way.

This second set shows the type of things we then did to get some more informal and fun photos of this couple having a laugh together.

We use this approach as it makes sure our customers have a beautiful set of quality artwork they can hang on their walls. But it means they also have some more informal photos that really show off their character – they often have these displayed in an album.

Black and white guitarist

In the cobbled streets of London we did this really enjoyable photoshoot of a female guitarist – we felt the black and white versions looked so much better than the colour ones.

Evening in the park

We love a good park – as long as they have trees and hedges, they make great places to use for a photoshoot. On this occasion we did a change of clothes to give a wider variety of photos.

Multiple backgrounds for a female photoshoot

Within a small area in east London we found several urban locations, plus a nearby local park which gave us some natural green backgrounds. A change of clothes added to the variety of the range of portraits we ere able to create.

I’m thinking of wearing a hat to a photoshoot – should I bring one?

Posted on 27/05/2019

In two words:

Yes, definitely!

We love hats – they’re a great way to make you stand out and look eye-catchingly different. Here are some examples of customers who’ve worn hats during our photoshoots.

Here are some quick tips for wearing a hat during a photoshoot:

as with any other part of your outfit, only wear a hat if you’re super-comfortable and confident while wearing it,
think about the style of the photoshoot – formal, informal, smart – and make sure the hat fits with that style,
if you’re having the photoshoot with others make sure that your hat works alongside their outfits (but if it doesn’t, don’t worry, we can do some solo portraits of you wearing your hat),
bold colours and different styles of hat are all great,
basically, we’ve yet to see someone make a poor choice when it comes to hats, so go for it!

Male headshots

Here are some informal male headshots. These were used for various websites and social media profile photos, where we wanted something much more informal than the usual old-fashioned, formal headshot.

Male urban photoshoot

A deliberately dark and grimy-style can be a good combination for strong portrait photos of a man in an urban location.

Sisters together

Rural locations are great for family photoshoots, because everyone can be themselves without worrying about other people. It also means you can get really lovely green backgrounds, like these here, which makes these sisters look great.

Two brothers in the park

Posted on 03/10/2018

Sometimes a simple portrait with a blurred background is the best, like these photos here. Both brothers were wearing casual blue shirts, so these worked really well against the blurred green backgrounds from the park which means, when their mum and dad look at these photos, they’ll concentrate on the faces of their sons, rather than looking at the background.
