ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER NA-ME-RES REPORT UNDER OUR BELT AND WE COULDN’T BE HAPPIER!
It feels like every year we shoot this report we get better! In some aspects it becomes harder to shoot because we’re always in the same space trying to do different things, but in some ways I think that’s what keeps us on our toes.
This year was no different than the rest (other than this Medicine Garden shoot) so we shot different success story portraits (Andrew & Robert), general detail photos from around the centre- used as fillers/for misc. content- team photos of all of the different divisions, and new headshots of the centre’s executive director, Steve Teekens!
These shoots are generally broken up over a 2-3 day period so we can try and get as many people together as possible, but even then, some team members are out in the streets, working with clients directly, in meetings, on vacation, etc. so no matter how hard to try to coordinate it, we usually still missing a few people. Nonetheless though, everyone was enthusiastic as always and on our end it’s always great to be back year and year seeing the organization prosper.
For most of these set ups we use all natural light with the exception of the smaller group photos. For the teams that are small enough to fit inside- where everyone is still visible and in focus- we opted to set up a light to bring in some fill in addition to the available light in the room. The power on the strobe was kept low to softly mimic natural light but it was still strong enough to bring some light into everyone’s faces and diffuse shadows.
