Behind the scenes of any photoshoot can be hectic with the subject) - which might be your client, the photographer, or photographers(depending on the kind of shoot), and an assistant working hard to create the perfect shots. However, that doesn't mean that it can't be a relaxed experience. In fact, some of the best photos from Ijeworks have come from moments of playfulness and spontaneity.
At a photoshoot session with a group of talented individuals that work with a startup. The goal of the shoot was to capture some vibrant yet professional images for the company’s corporate branding materials. As the Ijeworks team arrived at the location - a calm office space with our clients all beautifully dressed, we could already feel the excitement building up.
The atmosphere was relaxed, with everyone chatting and getting to know each other while we set up our equipment. As touchups were being done, our creative director asked the clients if they had a choice of music; because you know music helps the mood during a photoshoot. Thanks to music apps and playlists, we chose something calm & soothing to create a calm ambiance and we were all eager to start the shoot.
Once our clients were ready, the fun began. Our creative director who was also the photographer gave some general directions, but she also encouraged the clients to express themselves freely for their personal shots. They posed professionally and casually, all while showing off their individual personality. The energy was infectious, and soon, everyone was laughing and having a good time.
The comfort and confidence captured in these shots made the shoot a memorable day. In between shots, we took breaks to cool off with water and refreshment for the clients. It’s easy to get exhausted hence a break is advisable. Plus this time, there also allowed for outfit changes and touchups. Our clients took fun pictures of each other showing their playful side as colleagues.
As the shoot came to an end, we were all feeling energized and happy. We worked hard, but we also had a lot of fun. The photos captured the relaxed, fun, and comfortable atmosphere, plus the images are timeless, as you would expect.
Your photoshoot sessions don’t have to be a stressful experience. At Ijeworks, we create for you a relaxed and fun atmosphere, where our clients can express themselves comfortably and allow us to create some truly stunning and memorable shots.
