Corporate Photos With A View

When people ask me what I like most about my job, I always tell them the answer is a simple one. I really enjoy meeting all the different people. Every person I meet and photograph has a different story and character and I love where the conversations can lead. 

However, one of the other great perks of being a corporate photographer in London is the many interesting locations, buildings and offices I get to visit. 

Not long ago I took some headshots and office lifestyle photos for a company called CCI. They’re an American company but their London office occupies a whole floor of one of London’s most iconic skyscrapers, nicknamed the Walkie Talkie. Not only is it in this awesome building, but it is also on the second-to-top floor, with just the popular SkyGarden bar and restaurant above it. As you would expect, the view from this office was pretty

Impressive. I’ve seen a lot of views of London, including from the top of the Shard, but this view, in my opinion, was unbeatable. From one side of their office, you are about 500 metres from the Gherkin and the city. Walk around to the other corner of the building and you are looking down at Tower Bridge. And the other corner has a view looking west along the Thames with St Paul’s Cathedral particularly noticeable. 

Needless to say with a view like this I had to capture as much of the view as possible in the photos. It was a bright day outside so in order to balance the light inside the office with that outside, I needed to add some extra light inside. 

You can see the results below. Hopefully you agree I did the view justice in the short amount of time I had to capture it.
