Sage Group Treasurer John Swift

This month’s edition of The Treasurer features local Sage Group’s John Swift. Think Publishing in London who manage the design asked me to capture John at the impressive Sage building in Newcastle to assist the copy. The portraits were to reflect a relaxed and professional John with a variety of posed and in a natural working environment for a centre spread and cover option.

The challenge of corporate portraiture is finding good sources of light and making sure that the subject is relaxed. Commercial portraits need show the individual to be approachable and professional and reflecting character can also be a great addition to the image. John was really genuinely jolly and a willing subject which made the shoot run smoothly and enjoyably. The setting offered so much natural light that there were several options for backdrops and a few incorporating the strong Sage branding. Some shoots are tricky but this really was a dream! See the results below currently on The Treasurer website.

Barry Ersoz, Corporate Portraiture for ND Creative

Well Barry Ersoz of Power 4 Pubs was a super chap to photograph, jolly and a good sport. Barry had a passion for photography so we chatted f-stops and techniques as I shot. Many MD’s would rather be running the business than posing for photos but good profile images always make for a friendly approachable business.

It was ND Creative that commissioned these professional yet relaxed contemporary photography for one of their spreads in the S & N Pub company quarterly ‘Pub Life’. For more information on their please work visit http://www.ndcreative.com/commercial portraits newcastle upon tyne
