Working For Happy Giraffe LTD

Wrote by Post Comment

Last month I was contacted by a Brand Strategist company Happy Giraffe, a small team of 8 creatives located in my hometown of Stourbridge, they state; 
'We are a tower. A collective of diverse brand specialists who share a single obsession - brand. Some of us dream in Pantones, some think maddeningly in straplines and others obsess at a pixel-level detail. We’re brand strategists and doodlers and marketers and creatives and business brains and digital geeks. And we all love brand, using it as a powerful tool for transforming our clients’ businesses …" 
After sending them a sample of my portfolio the company asked if I could shoot for the  re-branding of there new website; we arranged a date for over the easter holidays so I was able to definitely be in the area.  the work of mine they were particularly interested in was a shoot I did in Shoreditch, London. 




Lucky for me I have shot before in a similar urban graffiti area which is only a 5 minutes walk from the companies base. 
as the days got closer to the shoot I became more and more nervous mainly the fear of the unknown, I have never managed a large group of strangers in a professional environment before,  What if my equipment stopped working? 
The day approached and at 10am I showed up with my Nikon D810 and speed light kit. I met the team and they showed me a plan of what kind of shots they hoped I could achieve throughout the day. these included 

Headshots- of each team member for there own profile page on the website



Banners- for the top of the website, specifically composed images where there was space for text

Group Photographs- of the whole team together 

Office Candids: selections of images of the team working away and interacting with each other.
