We also chose to use one of the meeting rooms and re-create a brainstorming session and board meeting, then use the building&#8217;s impressive atrium for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcfade.co.uk\/blog\/tips-for-capturing-authentic-headshots\/\">headshot<\/a> backgrounds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second set of headshots would have the Nexus logo in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcfade.co.uk\/blog\/creating-depth-understanding-the-importance-of-foreground-middleground-and-background\/\">background<\/a>, and finally we\u2019d&nbsp; create a few group photos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This formed our shot list and a plan for the session.

12,&nbsp; starting with the suits on in the meeting room.&nbsp; Hamish had provided a few more example images he really liked so we recreated those. We tried a brain-storming shot with suits, but it looks a little bit unrealistic to be that formal!&nbsp;&nbsp;With a bit of clever camera work and seating, we managed to make them all look close together yet be safely distanced &#8211; just briefly coming a little closer together for a couple of the group photos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mcfade.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/0017-Fundamentals-First-2020_10_09-by-McFade_retouched.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcfade.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/0017-Fundamentals-First-2020_10_09-by-McFade_retouched.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mcfade.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/0017-Fundamentals-First-2020_10_09-by-McFade_retouched-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, we did the formal headshots and formal seated shots.

\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that we went back into the meeting room to get the brainstorming shots, downstairs to get the Casual headshots, a few casual group photos indoors &#8211; finally as it wasn\u2019t raining, one outside to finish off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was a fantastic shoot,&nbsp; all the team were great sports, took direction and ideas really well,&nbsp; including many silly things I asked them to do to get them relaxed and smiling for the camera &#8211; and it shows on the photos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After I returned to base, I created the 400+ previews straight away and put them on Dropbox for them to view that very afternoon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t always do this because I like to take time I&#8217;m to sift out the best shots, but the team was very keen to see the results whilst they were together that afternoon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They went on to choose 25 great shots, plus a few extras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Style and Deliver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the previews phase, I often supply a few different colour toning options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
