Back To [the new] Normal

Cork City Social Distancing

As Clients and Suppliers return work next week, I’m looking forward to getting back to the office and starting to work out what the New Normal is.

I’ve had commercial clients cancel, PR work postponed and there have been no Communions and few Confirmations this year.

I have some print orders to fulfill from work shot before the Lock Down and I can get those out to people now that the Framer is back at work. Socially Distanced, safe collections are possible.

But can I conduct a safe, socially distanced photo shoot?

There’s no reason why Product Photography shouldn’t go ahead. So anyone looking for product for their new (or expanded or renewed) web store can get those done.

In general people look better further away and 2m is probably about right for a good headshot. So anyone looking for a profile image is welcome to get in touch. Assuming that their lock-down haircut is presentable!

And in particular the kind of feature session that shows how your business is adapting to trading in the current environment is a really good idea.

A formal family photo shoot is probably going to go OK but I specialise in the informal, intimate portrait and that’s going to be difficult. Especially with younger kids who tend to almost adopt me by the end of the shoot.

I think the biggest hit for most photographer right now is the loss of the Wedding Business. But if you’re planning something more intimate within the new restrictions, feel free to talk to me about how I can be part of that. We can tailor coverage and delivery appropriately to suit your plans

Commercial Photography Portfolio

I have finally got around to updating the Gallery of my Commercial Photograph with more recent work.

I’ve also taken the opportunity to re-format the Gallery using a Storyboard format which we put together for the Bank displays earlier this year.  I think it gives a better feel for the range of images delivered during the Commercial Assignments and shows how they were eventually used by Web Designers and Graphic Artists.

There are more jobs that deserve this treatment so I plan to set some more time aside to put some more of these together.

The new gallery is now up at http://www.roblambphoto.com/CommercialSampleBoards/content/CCoI_large.html

And linked from the Galleries page on the main site.

Take a look and let me know what you think…
