The brief
I’d met Chris (Head of Business Advisory) several years back through networking. Fast forward to April 2025 and I have his team in front of my camera 🙂
As the team had grown, they wanted to invest in some photography that would show the personality behind the brand.
The brief was to capture:
- fun and relaxed headshots
- behind the scenes (BTS) shots of the team doing their thing
- imagery that could be used across their website
The shoot
Accountants have a bit of a reputation for being boring, but I can tell you that it is utter bollocks! Or at least it is with the Archimedia team.
The non-negotiables on this shoot were:
- individual team headshots (I suggested everyone brought something along that told a story about them)
- the team working together and individually
- some shots of the entire team
I knew exactly what location we were going to use when Chris told me their office location. So after the first half of the shoot, which took place in their building on Science Park in Nottingham, I marched us over to University Park where the most perfect on-brand backdrop was waiting for us.
Collaborative shots
One thing they wanted to portray is how well they work together as a team. So we spent a little time capturing them at work. I shot both individual and group visuals, and a full team meeting too.
Team headshots
I used two outdoor backdrops for the team headshots. One was a dark grey tiled wall and one was a stunning bright blue tiled wall, which was remarkably on-brand and extremely eye-catching.
I captured images of the team wearing their Archimedia-branded hoodies, but also images of the team wearing an outfit they love.
Everyone brought a prop along to the shoot which said a little something about them.
You’ll see some of their headshots on the Why Archimedia? page
The result
Archimedia have a dynamic collection of:
- team headshots
- group interaction shots
- BTS photographs, showing the team at work
With this refreshed imagery, Archimedia now present a unified visual identity that matches their professional service, commitment to insight, and approachable brand.
