Editoral Style Corporate Portraits Sydney

This an excellent example of our we can showcase a small business with one of our Business Branding Shoots. Fully tailor made and designed to suit your businesses needs.

Last week the photography studio had the challenge to photograph for one our own clients, Trade Advertising. We normally photograph for their clients. But as every great businessman knows you need to stay fresh and up to date with your businesses marketing and PR material, including your website and staff portraits. Trade Advertising is boutique full service advertising agency based in Double Bay Sydney. The agency works with small and large businesses that need to look great and produce high quality online and printed marketing collateral. They not only design but they also work with their clients on the business's branding and strategy. Trade Advertising also specialises in the building and hardware industries, for the likes of 3M, James Hardie and contemporary furniture designer Fanuli.  

Their photography brief to the studio was based on three words, Dynamic, Creative and Casual. I believe the images speak for themselves. Mackintosh Photography loves collaborating and working together with our clients to create and produce professional photography that makes the client look their best. Whether it's corporate portraits, Headshots, Architectural assignments or photographing your next high profile business event or conference. Mackintosh Photography makes sure you and your business always looks amazing.

If your needing to update your staff corporate portraits and business profile or you are requiring some portraits that are something a bit left of centre. Mackintosh Photography is more than happy to have a chat on the phone. 

Personal Branding Portraits

Your personal branding is your image and this how your clients see you and make opinions about yourself and your business. I create personal branding photography shoots for business executives and entrepreneurs, who wish to stand out from the crowd. For each personal branding portrait session, I liaise with the client in great detail prior to the shoot. We discuss many aspects about themselves; their business and we go into great detail as to their specific needs for the photographs. How Mackintosh Photography is different to other portrait photographer’s is your personal branding photography shoot isn’t just glamour portrait. Our images are about you and your business. Our portraits will convey integrity, honesty and show what you do and how you relate to your clients. The location for the photo shoot needs to relate to you, often at your place of work, consulting with a client and having some time out with a coffee. Remember these branding images are all about you and how the world see’s you. We can help consult with about your wardrobe choices and we can arrange professional hair and make up to.

These images captured below are of Laurel Grey from an amazing company called Happily Organised in Sydney’s CBD. Laurel is a wonderful client to work and collaborate with. If you need more organizing in your business I can highly recommend Happily Organised.  

Professional Business Portraits - Sydney

In today's media savvy online marketing world. Having a professional headshot is very important. Your online portrait represents your image and brand. The portrait needs to look fresh, genuine and honest. It's photographer who makes you look great in photographs. Not Photoshop. It's the way I personally shoot and listen to what you're looking for in a portrait. And making you genuinely feel relaxed and comfortable with photography experience. Having your portrait taken is fun and enjoyable. Well it is with Mackintosh Photography.
BUT most importantly your beautiful photograph of yourself must really look like you! NOT an over retouched composite fake version of yourself!

I work often with small business owners, entrepreneurs and executives and I'm finding more often these clients are requiring more than just a headshot. They usually have different needs and roles that they perform in their career. So one image isn't enough to tell their personal story. 

DR SARAH JOY AITKEN | Senior Lecturer | Vascular Surgeon Concord Hospital | Medicine
Dr Aitken is another example of needing more than one image. She has recently won a significant grant to further research cardiovascular disease. So she will be doing more lectures, attending conferences and writing articles in medical journals. So simply having one portrait won't achieve the goals she is aiming for.

Marketing your business and servicers effectively is critical. Large corporate companies and small business all need to project a professional image to help attract new clients. Great photographs help you stay in front of your competitors.

Corporate Headshots Sydney - Circular Quay

As a professional photographer who has been photographing people for over 12 years, I love to inspire my clients to push the boundaries of what a professional corporate portrait or headshot can be. Yes I do photograph professionals in my Sydney studio in Rozelle with various backgrounds and studio lighting. But what I love the most is photographing corporate portraits on location and often outside. These days your business profile portrait for LinkedIn and social media doesn't just have to be a really close shot of just your head. I can photograph you in a various photo locations and styles to create a portfolio of images with different looks and styles. The reason for this is to give you a creative mix of images which you can uses for different professional purposes.

Another very important difference between Mackintosh Photography and other photography studios is that your portrait absolutely has to look like who you really are! Not an over photoshopped and retouched plastic version of yourself. People need to see the real you to build trust in your personal image and company branding and ethos. Having said that I do retouch my clients' business portraits, however naturally and subtly. But most importantly I don't change who you are. 

The images below are from a photography portrait shoot from last week. The client was Laurel Grey from Happily Organised. Laurel was the perfect client; we happily collaborated together on the looks and styles of portraits she required. Then it was up to me to photographically create images to match the looks and purposes of the images she needed.

Laural even gave the studio a testimonial our FaceBook Page. Justin gives personal and professional service - I needed some new corporate shots and he innately knew the right spot at Circular Quay. We got great shots in under 40 minutes - easy and painless! Thank you!
