So we are all stuck at home. Unfortunately we don’t know how long this lockdown is going to be around for. The current rules have come as a shock to many of us and it seems that most people are choosing one of two ways to handle it. You could binge on Netflix, video games, sleeping in and watching TV. Or…. you could plan what your strategy will be once these restrictions are lifted. One thing is for sure, working from home may become the norm as everyone works out the technical issues and gets used to this new way of working. Once the restrictions are lifted, some people will continue working this way. This means that things may not go back to normal.

Because of this, we need to come up with some strategies that will address this change in the way we do business. There is going to be a lot more digital content around. Without the option of meeting people face to face, digital connections and digital content will become more important than at any other time.

So what are you going to do to stand out. We are working hard on new products and services to offer our customers. From corporate headshots, digital marketing, copywriting, website design and management to video. All of this things are going to become extremely important to the survival of our business and we want to be ready to help everyone we can.

So let us know if there are any problems or issues that we might be able to help you with, let’s start talking now so that we can hit the ground running when these restrictions are lifted. In the meantime, stay safe.

A message regarding COVID-19.

We know that you have been bombarded with information so we want to qualify you from having to read the following.

If you are cancelling events, training or presentations, the following, may be of assistance.  We have the ability to prepare presentations and training material online for your staff to view in a safe environment.  We are taking extreme measures to produce your content and taking every available step to reduce the risk as much as possible.

 COVID-19 has had a tremendous impact on most of us.  Unfortunately, this is likely to continue for at least the next few months so, I wanted to update you on what we are doing to try to support others by explaining the changes we have made to the services we offer.  We have been working hard putting solutions in place to address some of the needs of our clients and work around the limitations being imposed.

 Seminars & Workshops

The majority of seminars and workshops are being cancelled due to the risk of having large numbers of people in one room.  To get around this problem we have put together video production solutions that allow you to record the session and present it online for your attendees to view in a safe environment.  These seminar presentations can be recorded with only the presenter and a small video crew present and can even be streamed live for real-time interaction with attendees including Q&As.

 Headshot photography

We have put in place a new process that limits exposure by shooting tethered.  This means that we provide the client with their own screen that they can preview images limiting the contact and proximity to the production crew.  In fact, there is no contact with the photographer, and by using specialised, longer lenses we maintain a considerable distance from the client.

We are also giving or clients the option of shooting outside.  We have locations where people don’t frequent that are ideal for an environmental headshot and they look fantastic.

 Online portfolios

Reviewing images now takes place online.  We provide a link to the gallery and all feedback, editing, and delivery is done online.

 Hair and Makeup

We have put together easy to follow guides on preparing your hair and makeup.  This reduces the risk if you do not want to have someone else doing this for you.

 We come to you

We know that in these instances, people prefer to not have to travel especially if it requires public transport.  For this reason, we bring our equipment to you and photograph or film at your premises.

 Sanitation

All our equipment is wiped down and disinfected after every job to ensure the most sanitised environment possible.

We believe that by doing our part in helping business to continue their activities whilst still being responsible.
