Client Brief
Stonehewer Moss, a personal injury law firm, required updated imagery for their website and social media platforms. Their goal was to showcase professionalism, trustworthiness, and approachability across all visuals — from partner portraits to client-facing interactions and team headshots.
Photoshoot Plan Highlights:
Mood / Style: Polished, professional, approachable
Locations: Conference room, reception, offices, and exterior night shot
Key Shots: Partners together, headshots of all team members, client interactions
Props / Wardrobe: Business formal attire with subtle brand red accents, realistic office props
Deliverables: 200+ high-quality images, web- and social-friendly formats
Intended Usage: Website content, social media marketing
The challenge
Stonehewer Moss had outdated images and a limited library to use for marketing. Their challenge was creating a variety of high-quality, brand-aligned images that conveyed both authority and approachability, while working within a busy office environment.
My Process & Approach
The shoot required careful planning and adaptability:
Experience-led setup: Pre-agreed shot lists and wardrobe planning allowed for a smooth flow across multiple locations, including tight office spaces and the main client-facing areas.
Team management: Some team members, like Dom, were initially cautious about being photographed. Using a relaxed approach and natural interaction, I helped them feel at ease, resulting in confident, authentic images.
Environmental adaptation: Working in active office spaces meant lighting and backdrop setups had to be quick and unobtrusive. Using two lights, a backdrop, and minimal disruption, I captured studio-quality shots on-site.
Visual storytelling: Focused on portraying the firm’s core principles — integrity, approachability, quality, and value — through client interactions, candid moments, and formal portraits.
The Result
The final delivery included over 200 images, covering:
Environmental portraits of partners and team members
Headshots in both studio and office settings
Lifestyle and interaction shots with a model client
Exterior building shot at night for brand prestige
Business impact:
Immediate improvement in website visuals and social media content
Strengthened professional brand presence
Positive feedback from staff and partners on comfort and confidence during the shoot
Client Testimonial:
“We recently used Paul to take professional photos for our business, both for use across the website and on our social media platforms. From start to finish the experience was smooth, professional and enjoyable. Paul has a great eye for detail and truly understood our brand and what we were hoping to convey. He made all the staff feel comfortable during the shoot and had a really quick turnaround of the images.”
My Learning
Working in small, busy office spaces requires quick, precise setups. Stonehewer Moss was ideal for a legal practice but slightly constrained for a full photography setup. The pre-agreed plan allowed me to maintain focus, ensure minimal disruption to staff and clients, and still deliver studio-quality results.
