After the success of the first Employability & Enterprise Professional photo shoot in January 2015, I had the pleasure of photographing more of the team in the studio. The E&E team loved the first shoot, that I kept the style very similar for this shoot as a continuity of the project. The aim of this shoot was to create a more professional outwards appearance, especially as the Employability and Enterprise team are representing and working with businesses, students, graduates and academics - this shoot was a great way to show off their professionalism and of course their (glamorous) sophisticated style! Many of these images are used as their LinkedIn profile, Facebook, Twitter and other social media profiles as well as internal email address thumbnail. Taken 25 Feb 2015 in Southampton Solent University photo studios.

Lovely team of people, it was a great experience to get back into the studio and photography these beautiful portraits. Also it was an interesting to experience so many different personalities back to back in the space of 2 hours! People's characteristics certainly shine through in front of the camera!

Love doing portraiture so had a great time photographing my colleagues in the Employability & Enterprise team at Southampton Solent University a few weeks ago. Getting back into the studio was a great feeling and creating simple and beautiful portraiture is something I had missed doing. This shoot was prompted by various colleagues who wanted a professional portrait to use on LinkedIn for example and as the employability team in the university, it was good practice we all had up-to-date professional photos. I really enjoyed this shoot as it was a new environment for my colleagues and also to witness me in my element which is portrait photography! I certainly think the grey background in the studio with one source light is one of my favourite set ups.

Photographed the launch of new BA (Hons) Writing Fashion and Culture magazine at Southampton Solent University: Chapter magazine, where guest speakers such as Laura and Damien Santamaria, editors of Sublime magazine, who contributed to the magazine gave a question and answer session along with respected publishing and magazine editors and speakers. The event had a lovely atmosphere where it was great to network and hear industry speakers about how to make it in the magazine world.

Created some headshots for Ruby's massage business www.relaxing-remedies.com. It's always great working with other self-employed professionals and getting an insight to their practice. I was pleased with these simple headshots only using natural light from the window, these portraits certainly reflect her massage business and personality!
