Today’s job as a Wakefield commercial photographer took me to the Redrow Homes Weaver’s Close site at Morley where I was given a brief to shoot some PR images for the upcoming Wicketfest organised by Morley Cricket Club and sponsored by Redrow. We did the bulk of the shoot outside the show homes on the estate and used a couple of the guys from Morley CC as well as Redrow sales representive Angela to represent the compnay. The proceeds from the summer festival are all going towards Martin House Children’s Hospice at Boston Spa, a charity that Redrow supports often. In terms of the brief, I was to shoot outside the homes with subtle or no branding, for media purposes, as well as full on branding for Redrow internal promotions. Although it was a bright, sunny day, I used the Profoto B1s to overpower the sun for the majority of the images. This is a technique I like to use to get a dramatic, studio effect to the shots.
