Bringing Your Brand to Life:
A Recent Branding Shoot with Factory Staff and In-Situ Imagery
I was recently contacted by a company in Tuggerah that needed some new images for their upcoming website.
The brief was as follows:
Action photos in the warehouse, both anonymised (hands & a box), some at work from a distance (back to view) , and a few close ups of individuals at work (as agreed), and as a small team representing our working culture
ADS forklift lineup out the front
Leadership/ meeting photos
A Finance team group shot, or broader photo within a team meeting
Customer service team and meeting photo, as well as individual customer service, at desk and on call shots.
Technology team and at work photos
Plus a few other images around the factory. I love doing these kind of shoots. Nobody really knows what goes into the everyday running of a business and these kind of shoots are the best way to give an insight.
After a few emails we were all set on how to conduct the shoot, when the best time would be and we chose a morning to do so.
I quote individually on these type of photography shoots as it can range from a very quick 1 hour shoot to a full 8 hour day.
