Problem 3:

Half the team lacked professional headshots, while the existing ones were inconsistent and didn’t effectively capture the company’s culture.


Solution:

Elevating Visual Identity: High-Quality Consistent Headshots Reflecting Genuine Staff and Core Messaging.

Barr Gazetas recognised the importance of first impressions, so they discarded the substandard and disjointed headshots they previously used. We created a collection of high-quality, consistent headshots that authentically depict their vibrant staff while embodying their core messaging of being fun, approachable and relatable. We scouted their studio to find suitable backgrounds that added value to their brand identity.

Our solution below captures the essence of their team, unveiling a refreshed visual representation that truly communicates their unique identity.

  • These headshots serve as the visual introduction to their team, representing the faces behind the organisation. By replacing the existing images, Barr Gazetas presents a unified and polished front that resonates with their audience. The high-quality headshots not only showcase professionalism and approachability but also instill confidence and trust in their brand.

    The focus was on capturing the genuine happiness and positivity that radiates from the team. Through meticulous attention to lighting, composition, and expression, a set of authentic images was created, conveying warmth, enthusiasm, and a sense of belonging. These headshots go beyond mere representation, offering a glimpse into the vibrant culture and values that define Barr Gazetas.

    Consistency plays a vital role in portraying a strong and unified brand presence. By adhering to a standardised style, background, and composition, the new collection of headshots showcases the cohesion and professionalism that permeates the organisation. This consistent visual identity enables viewers to recognise and connect with team members, fostering familiarity and building stronger relationships

    Barr Gazetas understands that investing in high-quality, consistent headshots is an investment in their brand's reputation and long-term success. By creating a visually appealing and cohesive collection, they not only showcase the happiness and professionalism of their staff but also reinforce their core messaging and brand identity.


Additionally, they required a cohesive set of headshots with a standardised style, background, and composition for use in pitch documents, Outlook & Teams avatars, and company profiles. These images needed to embody the company's core messaging of being fun, approachable, and relatable.


We've been working with JC to capture our staff photos for years, and when we moved into our new studio last year, we knew we had to bring him back. He brings out the best in each person, truly capturing their personality and very best side.

We love how passionate and fun JC is to work with and how comfortable he makes us feel in front of the camera.

JC has beautifully captured the essence and vibrancy of our practice and culture. The results of the headshots and culture shots are a true testament to the amazing work Jon does and we are delighted to have him on board.
