Photogaphy, Green Initiatives, EV Kerb Appeal and Dragon’s Den

This month I’ve had the pleasure of photographing for another innovative company with a sustainability initiative. And this company has also caught a Dragon’s eye!

With ever increasing demands on online presence, businesses need professional looking branding with great visual impact. Corporate headshots are no exception to this.

Outdated, mismatched photographs of key personnel may not present your organisation or staff in the best light. If you are continually investing in your online presence it makes sense to show your organisation off with great headshots.

Up to date headshots help your customers to feel at ease, knowing that there are professional, welcoming people taking care of their business.
