The client brief was to capture portraits of MD Pete for a range of use including an upcoming magazine feature.
The key words in the brief were; authentic, no nonsense, hard working, industrial, proud – not corporate and flashy.
“Uses his experience and emotional intelligence to adapt what he’s doing to get the best out of you”
We hired Chris to do some professional headshots of myself with the brief to bring through the city of Newcastle in all the shots.
That of course meant having to travel round the city centre on a busy weekday morning with a photographer and lighting assistant; a very daunting prospect.
Chris was a delight to work with. He put me completely at ease despite feeling on show and captured some amazing and unique shots.
He’s a really nice guy who listens and uses his experience and emotional intelligence to adapt what he’s doing to get the best out of you and deliver something you’re really happy with.
I can’t recommend him highly enough. Just look at his portfolio. If you like the style of what he does I guarantee he’ll be able to capture exactly what you want.
