Kit list

  • Tin Can

  • Elastic band or hairband

  • Books or small boxes

  • Any required uniform or outfit

Instructions

  • Please ensure you’re in a private space

    • Such as at home or personal office, not a coffee shop or open-plan office.

    • This is because you’ll be asked to pose which would feel strange for you if you’re in public, and off-putting for your colleagues if you are in an open-plan office.

    • If you normally work in an open-plan office, you will need to arrange to book a meeting room (if it has natural light) or work from home.

  • Make sure you have good natural light

    • Find a location in your home or office where there is good natural light from a window - a north-facing window is ideal. You’ll need to face the direction of the window.

    • Don’t worry about what’s behind you as we will digitally remove the background in the final image.

  • Bring a can of beans/soup and a couple of elastic or hair bands!  (This is not optional!)

    • This will be our makeshift ‘tripod’ that you’ll secure your phone to.  Sounds odd we know, but it’s simpler and easier than a tripod for these sessions. I will explain how to do this in your session.

    • The reason is that it’s sturdy, easy and small enough to move around, and holds the camera completely vertically. A mug or other bottle etc. will not be sturdy enough.

    • Leaning your phone against something is not an option as the camera will not be vertical.

    • Having some shoeboxes or books to be able to vary the height of the can is also helpful.

  • Wear any clothing required as instructed by your company

    • For example, some managers may require formal attire such as long sleeves blouse/shirt and jacket.

    • Or they may have specific branded clothing they have provided for you.

    • Any queries on this should be directed to your manager.

    • Failure to wear any required clothing will result in an automatic rebooking.

    • If you have no specific instructions, please wear something you feel would represent your company appropriately.

  • Make sure your phone’s 100% charged and is connected to good wifi or at least 4G

    • This is for obvious reasons as we don’t want to lose connection with you.

  • Open the app just before the time of your appointment

    • Your photographer will contact you through the app.

    • If there are any problems connecting with you we’ll call you on your mobile.

    • The session usually takes up to 20-30mins.

  • Your phone will upload the photos to us

    • Please allow an additional 30mins after the shoot for this.

    • You can carry on working, but you’ll need to leave the app open in the background.

  • We’ll process the photos and send your images to your company

  • This information will also be emailed to you. Check your junk/spam folder if you don’t receive it.

    We look forward to seeing you soon!
