Team member art direction
Our team are the heroes of our firm. You are the reason we win business and cultivate excellent long-term relationships with our clients, so we wanted to present you in the best way possible and give people the chance to get a feel for you as a person.
You can download the videos and images here.
Videos
This is our primary staff art direction. A short clip is taken of each member of staff performing different activities within the office environment. The clips are then used throughout our website as static frames and short videos, to bring profiles to life and showcase the individuality of our staff.
Videos are produced in each of our offices in Scotland, England and Ireland.

Static thumbnail
When uploading these videos to the CMS of our website, we will also need to upload one static image shot per person, that has been taken from the first frame of their video. This acts as the thumbnail prior to the video playing as well as a fallback image when videos cannot be played.

Headshot photos
As well as our primary photography, we also have headshots of each member of staff against a white backdrop that should be used on their LinkedIn profiles and in proposal documents.
The backdrop is typically a white wall within each of our offices, with lighting used to create a slight shadow.
