Bright Orange Staffing Branding Shoot: Showcasing Professionalism and Team Spirit in Cape Town
I recently worked with Bright Orange Staffing in Cape Town to capture a series of headshots, in situ staff interactions, and detailed shots of their office and building exterior. This comprehensive shoot aimed to showcase the vibrant, professional environment that Bright Orange Staffing represents, located near the iconic V&A Waterfront.
The Project Overview
Bright Orange Staffing, a leading staffing agency specializing in providing customized recruitment solutions, wanted to update their corporate imagery to better reflect their dynamic team and professional setting. The goal was to produce high-quality headshots, candid interaction shots, and detailed photos of their office environment, enhancing their visual presence on their website and marketing materials.
Headshots
We began the session with individual headshots, capturing the unique personalities of eight team members. Each portrait was designed to convey professionalism while highlighting the individuality of each staff member. Using my Fujifilm XH2 with a 2.8/50-140mm lens and Godox LED constant lights allowed for precise lighting adjustments, preventing blinking and enhancing eye color.
In Situ Photography
Next, we moved on to in situ photography, capturing the team in action. These images were vital for illustrating the collaborative and energetic atmosphere at Bright Orange Staffing. From informal interactions to structured meeting scenarios, every interaction was photographed to convey authenticity and professionalism. Capturing these moments helps potential clients and candidates get a feel for the positive work environment and team spirit at Bright Orange Staffing.
Office and Building Shots
The office environment is a reflection of the company’s culture. Capturing the essence of Bright Orange Staffing’s workspace involved photographing key areas within the office, including branded wall graphics and the building’s exterior. The modern, welcoming design of their office was highlighted, along with the strategic location near the V&A Waterfront. These images not only showcase the professional setting but also the prime location, which is an attractive aspect for both clients and potential employees.
Technical Insights
For this shoot, I used a Fujifilm XH2 with a range of lenses to cover different shot types: a 2.8/50-140mm lens for headshots, and 2.8/17-55mm and 4.0/10-24mm lenses for the other shots. Godox AD300 strobes provided a clean, professional look, while the LED constant lights for headshots helped in precisely illuminating the faces and accentuating eye color without discomfort from flashing lights. The combination of these tools ensured that every shot was captured with clarity and precision.
Post-Processing
Post-processing involved detailed retouching in CaptureOne to enhance the final images. Standard skin and face retouching techniques were applied to ensure a polished, professional look while maintaining natural appearance. This step is crucial to provide high-quality images that meet the branding standards of Bright Orange Staffing.
Conclusion
The branding shoot for Bright Orange Staffing was a rewarding project that demonstrated the power of professional corporate photography. Capturing the essence of their vibrant team and modern workspace has provided them with a suite of images that will enhance their marketing efforts and online presence.
