Photography

The brief:

We were approached by BBC Studios on the strength of our corporate portrait and event work.

Their first requirement was for images of senior management that could be used at conferences/moderation panels and separately for Linked In profiles.

Their second requirement was to update their image library of BBC presenters in live studio environments, both appearing to present live and taking in a more ‘behind the scenes feel’.

The Solution:

After visiting the BBC Television Centre we identified a location where we could set up both a studio-style portrait area and a space that took in the BBC’s location and environment. Over two days we photographed each member of staff and select an image from both locations that we took into post-production, paying particular attention to the BBC’s corporate tone and styling.

When it came to the documentary style imagery, we spent a day in both the News at Ten studio, the new Streaming Production Area as well as BBC Verify to provide ample shots with which to update their image library.

The brief:

After working with Sodali on capturing imagery for the Sustainable Markets Initiative, we were given the great honour of being the only team tasked with capturing footage of His Majesty King Charles III, meeting global space leaders at Buckingham Palace.

The Solution:

Taking great care to not interfere with hugely significant moments, we documented the initial meeting between His Majesty and his guests. This footage gave context to the opening of a short film about World Space Week and appeared on both the Royal Family’s X and Instagram accounts . Following this shoot we then filmed a similar event with His Majesty and invited guests at Windsor Castle to discuss sustainability in the fashion/textiles industry. 

The Brief:

Hyperoptic partnered with EXFO to use its Remote Fiber Test and Monitoring (RFTM) solution and cloud-based testing tech to accelerate its UK full-fibre network buildout and automate troubleshooting. They were looking for a way to talk about this exciting merger to share both internally with staff and to their respective industries.

The Solution:

After months of planning, both Dana Tobak, CEO of Hyperoptic and Philippe Morin, CEO of EXFO found time in their schedules to meet and have an open conversation together about the partnership now and going forwards. We were asked to film and edit this important and unique meeting.

The brief:

Kisaco Research works with the early adopters and leaders of growth markets in driving their respective industries forward and stimulate business growth quickly and effectively. They hold multiple conferences throughout the year. They came to us to look at branding for these events, encompassing advertising, brochures and on-site graphics.

The Solution:

We have developed a continuing relationship with Kisaco, after impressing on the first event we worked on with them. Starting with the logo and visual identity, we then moved on to brand guidelines that could be followed by their marketing team. We produced a sales brochure for potential sponsors and concluded with all the on-site branding at the event.

The brief:

We were approached by Eden to help with their brand positioning in a crowded market place. Though their garden room products are top-of-the-range, they were struggling to communicate this aesthetically.

Their brief was to stand out from their competitors, create a sense of elegance, genuine craftsmanship and particularly highlight the bespoke nature of their products. This had to be considered, not just within a logo, but threaded through their website, brochure, marketing material, photography and video.

The Solution:

We started with the logo. All of Eden’s builds are bespoke, so we wanted to give a sense of this, creating a unique font, which in turn gave us a very precise and engineered style word-mark. The colour palette was updated as well to give a premium tone. We then moved on to photo shoots at finished Eden builds, underlining the quality of their work through imagery. Using models, drones and props at multiple locations across the UK, we were able to create a visual library that can be used across social media, advertising, brochures and their website.

Their website was built to be fully responsive, and importantly could be updated by the client. It was integrated into devices like Salesforce, Google analytics and Meta.

We continue an have an ongoing relationship with Eden, managing the website, as well as documenting new builds through photography and film, which helps expand their visual library with up-to-date case studies.

The brief:

Herts at Home wanted a complete brand refresh. From their logo, to their values, signage, stationery and website.

Their request was for an evolution of a tired brand, rather than a complete transformation. Once we started on the journey together, they wanted us to roll out the brand across all collateral including a new website which we were appointed to design.

The Solution:

The logo update was updated to something simpler, cleaner and more coherent. We spoke at length about extracting core values from the business and produced icons for each value. We created brand guidelines, a bespoke, responsive website that can be updated by Herts at Home. We shot all the photography on the website, visiting different sites to give them an extensive library of new imagery as well as portraits for the Senior Leadership Team.

The brief:

Lowick invited us to reinvigorate their brand. They already had a logo, but the website, presentations and photography were not coherent.

The Solution:

We came up with a campaign that uses the L to create a frame. The idea being that Lowick focus on their clients, staff and the bigger picture. The frame idea was used alongside the photography we shot. This concept was then rolled out into a fully responsive, content managed website, designed and built by us. Powerpoint presentations were also created and produced as ‘unbreakable’ templates. Business cards and letterheads were then rolled out.

The brief:

Public consultations are at the heart of urban redevelopment and regeneration.

The Solution:

Professional images bring relevancy to local campaigns – both by establishing a bank of appropriate images for marketing and also shooting the events themselves. We have also taken it one step further and shot the interiors of finished developments and functions within them.

Be it for your website or social media – Natural people focussed photography is completely bespoke to your company and can reflect your brand values and environment.

We have commercially photographed on the streets of London and from within some of it’s most impressive architecture, from area regeneration to the interiors of pioneering carbon neutral buildings.

We photograph large events or small gatherings in a non obtrusive, candid way. This allows those in attendance to relax and enjoy the event and capture natural images. Our best compliment has always been ‘I didn’t realise there was a photographer there!’.

Whether corporate, creative or environmental – We will photograph your portrait to suit your brand or personal style at the location of your choice.

The Brief:

Central Primary School in Watford originally approached us in 2022 to film a promotional piece for prospective parents. They were also looking to update their website so we were asked to take new photographs for it. We came back this summer to refresh the video and images with their current intake.

The Solution:

Central Primary is a hugely diverse school with over 50 different languages spoken. Keen to celebrate this, our concept began with the staff welcoming viewers in different dialects. It then showcases the school’s curriculum with narration and classroom activities and finishes with some children saying their motto’ Children are Central’ also in multiple languages. This together with the photography was shot across 2 days.

The Brief:

We have a long-standing relationship with Kanda. In 2021 they decided to alter their business model, separating into three clear divisions. As a result of this restructure, it was decided that an entire brand overview should take place. They asked us to lead the project and work with their internal creative team. We created brand workshops and a brief for the team to work to.

The Solution:

The name Kanda is a hybrid of the idea of being candid, frank, honest and open. This is the concept that all creative work was judged against. The circles overlap to show inclusivity, community and the combining of ideas, all of which are imperative to Kanda’s business. Once a logo was chosen we produced brand guidelines, Word/Power Point presentation templates, designed and built a fully responsive website and photographed all staff members. We continue to enjoy a close working relationship and the latest piece of work is a short corporate film, showcasing Kanda’s brand values. We story-boarded, filmed, edited and produced this, including all the animation and photography.

The brief:

Ancala Partners is an experienced and entrepreneurial investment manager, focused on investing in critical mid-market infrastructure assets, sourcing differentiated opportunities which proactively manage to create value for all stakeholders, Ancala came to us requiring a new website. They wanted it to be bespoke, modern and work across multiple platforms. They also wanted to be able to update the site themselves when required.

The solution:

Using their current logo, we were inspired by the angle on the letter ‘A’. We designed and built a fully responsive WordPress site and gave them training on how to use it. As part of the design process, we created a brand guidelines document for external and internal communications. We also wanted to add some individuality and personality to the website, which was achieved by a photoshoot at their offices, capturing documentary-style, informal images of the staff within their environment.

The Brief:

The Ride of the Ruperts is an annual charity event, where motorcycle enthusiasts dress up in their most dapper clothes and take a ride together. Primarily featuring classic motorcycles, they wanted to create a video that captures the spirit of the day and also be used to help promote the ride in future years. All the proceeds go to Whizz Kidz, the children’s wheelchair charity.

The Solution:

We discussed in detail the requirements of the film, namely a version to be placed on their website, but also the ability to create shorter cuts for future social media promotion. Our concept began with a rider waking up early, putting on his dapper clothes and heading out to the event on his bike and side-car. To add narrative, we scripted a voiceover, which was kindly read by the BBC Sussex presenter Emily Jeffery. This appeared to play through the kitchen radio as the rider prepared himself for the day ahead. The short film was shot over 2 days.

The brief:

We were asked to create an logo, signage, leaflets and a responsive website for a secondhand car dealership in Buckinghamshire. The garage has been in the area for over 40’s and the branding had to encompass this traditional and family feel, whilst still being modern and trustworthy.

The Solution:

After creating the initial branding and supporting elements, one of the harder jobs was designing and creating a responsive website. CMC realised that the internet was becoming a powerful tool for them, more and more of their potential clients were viewing cars on their mobile phones. We created a site that can be viewed on all devices, that sums up the nature of the company. It is built on a Word Press platform and they were given training on the simple content management system,. The site allows the user to search for specific details i.e Manufacture, colour, number of seats etc. We used analytics on their previous site to build a new site which targets the information their costumers are looking for and allows them to access it quickly. We also undertook all the photography on the site.

The Brief:

We were asked by Berkhamstead School to produce a programme and posters for their production of The Miser. The play would also go on tour to the Edinburgh fringe and would need to have stand out amoungst the many other plays at the festival.

The Solution:

After researching the narrative of the play we decided on a photographic route. We staged and shot images that conjure feelings of the tensions that run through the narrative of the play. Though essentially a comedy, the story has does have a slightly sinister plot and we wanted to get this across in the programme and promotional materials. We mixed modern typography as well as duotone imagery to give this project real impact. We were asked to create clothing for the cast at the Fringe as well as outdoor advertising.
