Corporate Portraits
Ten minutes. A photo that lasts for years.
I'm a documentary photographer by training, and I keep that way of looking in the studio. In the short time we have, I want to know who you are. Quiet or loud, modest or bold. I give you room and I watch. What comes out is a portrait that doesn't just show you. It introduces you.
Most people walk in tense and leave relieved
Standing in front of a camera feels like performing. I make it feel like being yourself. That is what the photo needs.

The best photo comes early or late, never in the middle
At the start, people are still arriving. There is a spontaneity that fades fast. At the end, the tension has gone, because we slowed down and adjusted along the way. The middle is rarely where it happens. I give direction, but I watch for what happens between the instructions.

A headshot without connection is just a face
I wait for the moment when posing gives way to real connection. A brief moment in which someone shows who they are. The camera is forgotten, if only for a second. That is the image that lasts for years.

The shoot starts in 3D
Beforehand I design the lighting plan in a digital studio, true to your brand identity. On set we shoot tethered: you pick the best frames on the laptop, right there. No selecting afterwards, we go straight to editing.

One headshot is nothing. A series is everything.
I repeat light and technique exactly, shoot after shoot, so every portrait belongs with the others. A set of headshots becomes the face of an organisation.
"Wardie photographed our relationship managers at Florius Hypotheken for business portraits. Nobody puts people at ease like he does, with a few questions and a bit of conversation. Colleagues could be themselves, and you can see it in the photos."
