People-Corporate & Environmental

Corporate photography is usually a portrait of a person either in their office environment or similar, to advertise themselves and/or their business. The usual corporate portraits are stereotypical head & shoulder portraits such as these by Mark Robert Halper.



But i much prefer corporate portraits that show a little about the personality or their business, such as these:





For my work regarding Corporate photography, i decided to go down the personality/business route. A close friend of mine is a special effects makeup student, and wanted some photographs taken of her newest prosthetic creation so she could make some business cards to advertise her services. She got her prosthetics on and, because it wouldnt really work in a studio situation, we went out on location and took photos of her in her makeup.

Contact Sheets

my first contact sheet sets out the picks for this set of photographs to decide which would be most useful as business cards.


my 2nd contact sheet shows the 2 orignial photographs chosen for the business cards and also the 2 edits, to show the difference before and after editing.

and finally, Tamsin made business cards out of the selected photographs and emailed copies back to me, which i show below.



These corporate portraits (which, despite the unusual nature of the photos, is exactly what they are) worked perfectly for the client, and fulfilled the business role she wanted from them.

Because they are taken at an outside location, these photos can also double up as environmental photography-she is interacting with her environment, in a way befitting the photographs and her nature.
