Photography
Photography style 1: Life at Precis
When we snap photos of the people at Precis we want to capture people in the moment. We want to capture action, emotions and real interactions between people. Avoid staging shots and try to capture what life at Precis really is.
Try using natural light sources like windows for key lights and fill the scene with prop lights like table lamps for extra depth.
Photography style 2: Portraits
For portraits, we always crop from chest and above focusing on the subjects face. Similarly to the rest of our photography, we want a natural expression with either a calm or blurred background to have the subject in focus. For lighting, try flash with a large octagon softbox or play around with natural light and reflectors.

Have fun with poses, we’re not doing school photography here.
Natural light + soft key light
Photography style 3: Portrait editorial
When it comes to editorial, we’re talking more about photos that can be used in stories such as blog posts or even news articles. Here it works well to have more posing than the others, and preferably the subject should be photographed in the context of the story. For editorial, we can also play around more with dramatic lighting and darker backgrounds depending on the story.
2 large keylights and darker shadows for dramatic effect
Natural light + soft key light for softer effect
