Why Choose Professional Headshots?

In a digital world where first impressions often happen online, a professional headshot is more important than ever.

Sue Steer for the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors

I was asked by London-based agency Sunday to visit Sue Steer at her home in Shropshire a few weeks ago to take some portrait photographs. Sue is a rural surveyor and the pictures were to accompany an article in the Royal Society for Chartered Surveyors’ Modus magazine.

Sue’s house proved incredibly difficult to find hidden as it is deep in the beautiful Shropshire Hills, Sue’s husband Martin gave me copious instructions, dropped Whatsapp pins and even sent the What Three Words reference all to no avail and finally he had to drive out to find me passing the same bemused farmer for the sixth or seventh time.

Their house was well worth the effort of finding, a 15th Century thatched cottage with an accompanying listed timber barn. It resembled a scene from Hansel and Gretel.

We spent a happy few hours taking photographs around the house, the barn and the orchards before their lovely, gentle old Collie dog joined us for the photoshoot.

A wonderful day and I was fortunate to be back in Shropshire a only a few weeks later for a very different kind of shoot, more of which in a later post.

BeClear Orthodontics for What Marketing

BeClear Orthodontics Cosmetic Dentistry Photography and Campaign Shoot

During the quieter months of the coronavirus-disrupted summer, I had the pleasure of working with What Marketing on a photography and video campaign for BeClear Orthodontics, a leading cosmetic dentist specialising in Invisalign teeth aligners. The shoot offered a unique opportunity to document the precision, care, and aesthetic results that make BeClear’s services stand out.

Capturing Invisalign and Cosmetic Dentistry

BeClear Orthodontics are specialists in Invisalign aligners, designed to be almost invisible, even in extreme close-up shots. The campaign required detailed photography that could showcase the effectiveness of the aligners while maintaining a natural and approachable aesthetic for potential patients. Capturing these subtle details required careful lighting, angles, and technical precision.

Adapting to Covid-19 Safety Protocols

This was my first shoot following social distancing and mask-wearing protocols. These measures presented a challenge for everyone on set, from models to the creative team, but the day ran smoothly. Photography and video were completed successfully, balancing safety with high-quality visual content for the campaign.

Collaboration with Models and Marketing Team

The campaign shoot involved several models and close collaboration with the BeClear Orthodontics team. Their professionalism and enthusiasm helped ensure that the photography captured the natural confidence and satisfaction that comes with Invisalign treatment. Working with What Marketing on this project was an enjoyable experience, and I’m looking forward to the next campaign shoot scheduled for October.

Highlighting Cosmetic Dentistry in Campaigns

Professional photography for dental and cosmetic services plays an important role in marketing. Images need to convey precision, trust, and aesthetic outcomes while appealing to potential patients. The BeClear Orthodontics campaign highlights the company’s expertise and commitment to subtle, effective dental treatments, positioning them as a leading provider of Invisalign in the UK.
