Nice Media approached me to capture a series of portraits, comprising of a range of different types of people and personalities. These photographs were used by NatWest, as characters for an internal employee digital training portal. The photographs were shot in a studio against a white background and then the colours added in to complement the individuals.

The studio environment places individuals in unfamiliar territory. Completely different to shooting people at work or in their homes. I find the process requires warming individuals up a little more, involving them in the process a bit more. I’ll often shoot tethered in a studio, which means it’s easy to bring the individual over and look at photographs as we go along. It becomes a bit more of a team effort. As it happens, the individuals photographed here are all actors and were cast for the role, so being filmed or photographed.

Here are a few of my favourites.
