Canary Wharf is known for being one of the most prestigious areas in London for conducting business. In this competitive environment, having a strong professional image is essential for any company or individual. This is where a skilled Canary Wharf photographer like myself can make all the difference. Corporate photographers in Canary Wharf specialize in various photography services, including headshots, portraits, and event coverage. In this blog post, we will explore the importance of corporate photography and the benefits of hiring me, Scott Ramsey, a professional Canary Wharf photographer, for your next company photography shoot.

Along with my work as a photographer, I also love to create storytelling videos to promote my client's services or products, but this recent video project was slightly different. Littlehampton Town Council hired me to create this tourism video to highlight the fantastic attractions the town offers and to promote it as a perfect destination for a family staycation.

It's not every day you get the opportunity to photograph a reconnaissance mission with the British Army, but that's precisely what I found myself doing during this commercial photography shoot.

Recently I was hired for a Commercial Photography shoot in Kent. Safe Home Security, a Kent business that specialises in home security, needed some new photographs to promote the business and showcase its services. So with the help of my assistant, Mihai, I spent the day creating a set of photographs perfect for my client's needs, and here's a selection of some of my favourite images from the photoshoot.

Understanding my client's needs is essential for a successful commercial photography shoot, and I work hard to achieve this before, during, and after a photography shoot. This image is taken from a set of photographs I created for a global software company that develops products for military, intelligence and national security, healthcare, financial, public and private sectors.

Did you know I've been working as a professional photographer for over 30 years? I've met some great people and photographed some amazing things during this time. And last week, I spent a fun day recalling some of these photography adventures to a group of students at my old school. During the Q&A session, I explained how camera equipment had changed, especially while covering a commercial photography shoot and that we now get to use drones

I've been fortunate to have worked as an industrial photographer on some fantastic engineering projects in the past, and this recent assignment was no exception - Scott, can you photograph the construction of the Hinckley Point C Nuclear Power Station in Somerset? Sure, no problem, I said!

If I was to say to you, ‘corporate headshot’, what would you see in your mind’s-eye? Forced smiles in the boardroom? Starched collars and boring suits? Middle-aged men perched awkwardly on their desks?
I’ve been mulling over the question of ‘what makes a good corporate portrait’ ever since I returned from a recent commission in London.

Last autumn, I told you about how Repair Smart in West Sussex had asked me to come in and take some photos for their website and a marketing campaign that they were planning. Run by two brothers, Mike and Nick, it's a brilliant family business, with a tangible care for their customers. My role as a commercial photographer was to find a way of capturing the essence of their business – their ethos – through my pictures.

I always welcome new photography and videography enquiries from businesses – even if they turn out to be something that I can't or don't choose to undertake. Recently I received one from a company who were looking for some new staff profile shots. What became clear when I spoke with them was that they were accustomed to photographers working in a particular kind of way – namely, coming in, taking lots of shots, sticking them all on a memory stick and handing it over.
That got me thinking about how I work – and equally, how I don't.
