A socially distanced team photo in Kenilworth
Behind the scences at a socially distanced team photo in Kenilworth, Warwickshire
On the hottest day of the year in 2020 I created a socially distanced team photo for the NetVisibilty team. If you need to know about social media Ads, these are the people to ask!
Each person was photographed separately and then the whole image combined in photoshop in various formats. The location for this Kenilworth business was the local landmark – Kenilworth Castle. You can see me hard at work in one of the behind-the-scenes shots. The final image got a great reaction on LinkedIn !
Neil Curtis, the owner of NetVisibility, said “Its brilliant. Love it. We could easily take this style and make it into an advert.” He added ” We had a great time getting this unusual team photo and it lifted the spirits of the team ! A testament to a great photoshoot/photoshop job by Laurence, on a very hot day. “

Whisky and gin product photography
Product Photography in Birmingham and Warwickshire
Richard at Juniper and Peat sells unique whisky and gin online. He wanted some high quality photography for social media, and for a new marketing campaign. For the whisky, he wanted a classic, high quality feel with a darker look. For the gin, it was a bright, light and airy feel reflecting summer. These were all actually created in April 2020 in the corona virus lockdown, in my studio. Richard posted the bottles to me.
Sarah from his marketing agency said “Just seen the product photos you did – they are fantastic!! Richard added “I really like them. We’ve started using them already in our Facebook campaign”.

Event photography in Birmingham and Warwickshire
Event Photography in Birmingham and Warwickshire
Here are some photos from various business shows, at Edgbaston, Birmingham, Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, the Ricoh Stadium, Coventry, Aston Villa Stadium, Birmingham and the King Power Stadium, Leicester. They are run by the Midlands Business Network, and have over 1000 attendees at each show. I’ve taken photos of the stands, to show how busy they are, the speakers and speed networking.
An event photographer has to think on their feet, be very personable, aware of what’s going on, and be unobtrusive. It’s trickier than you might think!

Photography in Redditch
Professional business photography is important to project the right image of your business
Cleanse-a-drive are a cleaning company in Astwood Bank. They commissioned me, as a Redditch photographer, to create some action photos of cleaning in progress, and also some staff headshots. I went up on the roof of a warehouse in the cherry picker and took some photos of the gutters being cleaned. I also showed a drive being steam-cleaned. We then collected together all the vehicles and all the staff in the owners large field, and did some group photos that show off the whole business. It’s a family business, so we included the dog to add even more personality and show the human side of the company.
Carl Sabin, the business owner, said “All of the team are delighted with the photos. We’re getting them added to our website and new brochures. Your work is amazing and we’ll always recommend you “

Micheal Vaughan in 2019
Micheal Vaughan OBE was England cricket captain for the test team from 2003 to 2008. He famously was captain when England beat Australia with a 2–1 victory in the 2005 Ashes, England’s first Ashes victory since 1986/87.
He is now a cricket commentator and writer. In March 2019 he spoke at the Midlands Business Network Expo at Edgbaston in Birmingham. I had a brief chat with him (we were both born in Sheffield so we got on fine) & took a few photos. He’s a nice chap! He gave an entertaining and insightful talk, with several stories about the post-Ashes celebrations involving Freddy Flintoff. The interviewer Dave Sharpe brought the best out of him.

John Barnes is a bit of a legend. The ex-England footballer scored one of England’s best goals ever, against Brazil in 1984. He sang a rap in the official England 1990 World Cup song, World in Motion, which wasn’t bad at all. He also won a few trophies and titles with Liverpool and other clubs.
He is now a football pundit and speaks out about discrimination, bias and racism – in sport and generally. He is genuinely passionate about it. In Oct 2019 he spoke at the Midlands Business Network Expo at Edgbaston in Birmingham. I had a brief chat with him & took a few photos. He gave a thought-provoking talk and was entertaining as well. He even performed the rap!
