One break in the agenda, a whole leadership team
Leadership teams rarely end up in the same room. When Alexion Canada's did, they wanted headshots of everyone that matched each other and looked like the people in them, without pulling anyone out of the meeting for long.
Most of the team had travelled in for it. There would be no catch-up session next week for anyone who missed their slot or didn't like their photo, so every person had to leave with an image they were happy to use.
Two looks for every leader, all 13 of them
The studio backdrop for something more formal, natural light for something warmer. Both stations stayed locked in place all day, so every portrait in a set matches the rest.
All thirteen leaders, in both looks. Tap or click any portrait to see it full size.
Two stations, running side by side
Natural light, outdoors
A second photographer ran the outdoor station at the same time, so nobody had to choose between looks.
Studio backdrop, indoors
Jason ran the studio station with a portable lighting setup that flatters without looking lit.
Checked on screen before they left
Each person saw their frames on a calibrated screen as we shot, so a collar or a stray hair could be fixed on the spot. Nobody walked away wondering how it went.
Nobody kept waiting
Liz ran the schedule and moved people from one station to the next, so the team was back in the meeting quickly.
Chosen in their own time
Nobody had to pick on the spot. Each person got a private online gallery to choose their favourites and tell us how they wanted them retouched.
Private galleries
Each leader saw only their own photos, and could choose whenever suited them.
Retouching they asked for
Softened blemishes, lighter under-eyes or tidier hair, only where the person wanted it.
Still themselves
We keep retouching natural, so people look like themselves on a good day.
Ready for whoever joins next
We've worked with Alexion across several projects now. Because we keep a record of both setups, new leaders can be photographed to match the rest of the team, whenever and wherever they join.
