In the corporate world, image is everything.
Fast-paced business environments mean you have just seconds to make a positive impression – and that’s exactly what corporate portrait photography can help you do.
Quite simply, corporate portraits show that your company means business. Here are just a few reasons to put your own camera down, and step into our studio instead…
Multimedia support
The corporate portrait photographs we take are hi-res, high quality images that can be used to great effect on or offline. So whether you need a profile shot for your ‘About Us’ page, or a team image for a print brochure, our corporate portraits fit the bill.
Your best side is your professional side
With the rise of Facebook, Linked In and other social media business tools, people are becoming used to putting a face to a name – before you even meet. A professional image on your website or profile page can therefore be key to establishing customer and client relationships.
Save money or make money?
Business decisions come down to money – so it’s understandable that some people avoid corporate photography in favour of a DIY approach. This, however, is false economy – as professional corporate portraits (which build your brand reputation and customer relationships) are actually very powerful sales tools.
Think not, how much can you save, but how much can you make?
Consistency is key
Corporate portraits show attention to detail and professionalism that self-taken photos just can’t match. However many photos we take of you and your team, we ensure consistency across the board – put any two photos together and they’ll always match up to your corporate image. Perfect lighting, perfect shot, every time.
More than words
As the old saying goes, a picture speaks a thousand words. In business, where people generally don’t have time for a thousand words, this rings especially true.
You could spend days slaving over the best way to describe your company or brand – while one simple corporate portrait would capture everything you stand for.
A second opinion
Photographs are subjective. Show one photograph to three or four people and they’ll all have a different opinion on it. For that very reason, putting a self-taken photograph into marketing materials or on your website can be a dangerous move.
Having your corporate portrait done professionally means you get the benefit of a highly qualified second opinion. We don’t stop until we get the shot that everybody loves.

Thinking of somewhere to go this summer? Well check out the shots we did for this fantastic Villa in Mykonos by Karma Resorts.
The Villa is placed near enough to the energy and exciting atomosphere of this Greek Party Island, but far enough away to enjoy the amazing view across the Med in peace.
This is the kind of job we enjoy!
As a business owner or marketing person you may have thought why do I need a corporate video for my website? You may think that your words and pictures cover all the messages you want to express and there is little reason to invest in adding video.
However, have you considered the speed in which the way we do business is changing? The oppourtunities in Online Video are huge and almost unlimitless. Within a 2 – 3 minute video you are able to capture a vast amount of dynamic and engaging content. This will not only inspire your audience, but if optimised correctly attract new audiences via this tried and tested medium.
Here are some interesting facts about video for web:
- Video optimisation is becoming more important as Internet speeds increase
- 80% of all viewed content on the Internet will be video by 2012.
- UK Internet traffic to online video content increased by over 250 % this year
- There are 1.5 million business searches daily on Youtube. This makes YouTube the second most popular UK site for business searches after Google.co.uk.
- Many BluChip companies will stop investing resources into their company websites and develop their YouTube channels.
If you are thinking about web video – it makes sense to use a company that knows how to optimise your video too – providing the best value for money – at studio8 we have a video development team and search engine optimisation team which when combined will create the best possible chances in obtaining new business via online film.
At studio 8 we are able to capture a high quality video for any size of business. We have the ability to shoot 4 X High Definition using our RED Camera – this content is big enough to play at cinemas and is what the major film studios have been shooting on for films such as ‘Angels and Demons’, ‘Knowing’, ‘Jumper’ and many more.

top 5 wedding photography tips
1. RELAX! – The best photographs are those where the bride and groom are at ease. You have spent so long planning your big day and probably made sure that your friends and family all have a job – now leave it to them and enjoy yourself and your personality will shine through in the shots!
2. HAVE FUN! – Having fun makes you happy, being happy makes you smile and smiling will make your photographs!
3. PRACTICE – There’s nothing wrong with having a little practice. You will be wearing a very important dress on the day (or suit) and you want to wear it well – maybe take a look in some wedding magazines at how other couples have photographed and see what works for you? However don’t get too ‘posey’ – the more natural the better – its about you!
4. ORGANISE – This applies mainly to the group shots. Time is short at weddings for line ups and so a tight ship is in required! Perhaps nominate an usher or two to be in charge of gathering together the friends and family to the group photographs. This will allow us to concentrate on arranging everyone and achieve the best shots.
5. SPECIAL PEOPLE – Obviously everybody is important at your wedding, however you may have certain friends or family who you just have to have a shot of on the day. Make sure that they are included in the group shots or maybe make a special effort to have a separate photograph with them. Remember, you know who these people are and not your photographer – so be sure to point them out!
