The light from the “hot white” background illuminates the sides of the face of this technology company CFO. Hot white is when strobes are fire through a translucent silk background. The look was popularized by Apple and is typically associated with technology firms. @mcguirephoto assist @danielle_dettore mua

Corporate Stock

CORPORATE STOCK

It’s much easier than you might think to have your own corporate stock photography.

We spend so much effort building a successful company or brand and yet, all too often rely on stock imagery to try to show the world how we work. The selection process is tiresome and irritating and the result is status quo, diluted and inauthentic.

Matt makes it happen. He makes capturing great, authentic lifestyle imagery that showcases your people, your location(s), your values… well, he makes it all seem effortless – many even say it’s fun.

Natural and beautifully-lit images highlight and authentically represent your organization. Our professional make-up artist ensures that skin and hair are looking their best and this also means less re-touching after the fact.

Colleagues are often spread out geographically, working in different environments – yet consistency of style, personality and light are critical to presenting a unified brand or corporate image. Matt’s team is able to travel ensuring regular and rolling photo updates always adhere to agreed style guides.

Day 1 of a five day shoot across four cities and five locations from Chicago to LA for this global commercial real estate behemoth. Some of the common areas in the office feature living “green” walls that the client wanted to showcase. A strobe in the background suggests sun and obscures otherwise distracting elements. @mcguirephoto assist @danielle_dettore MUA

Day 2 of a five day shoot across four cities and five locations from Chicago to LA for this global commercial real estate behemoth. We staged several shots in this St Louis, MO meeting room with two dozen people. It was a fairly gray day outside, which required us to lean on the amazing technology in the camera and expert placement of supplemental strobes in order to keep things looking light and bright. Capturing authentic expressions in contrived situations is also a challenge with this sort of work. @mcguirephoto assist @raelynncantrall MUA
