Wakefield commercial photographer | Commercial Photography West Yorkshire

Beaumont Legal commissioned me once again as their Wakefield commercial photographer to capture some press and promotional images of the Lord Chancellor and Minister for Justice Chris Grayling, who was in Wakefield to present certificates to some of Beaumont’s graduates. My brief was to capture shots of the minister with the Beaumont partners on arrival and then the presentation of the certificates. This was to be followed by a Q&A session with three journalists during which I was to get some candid shots and then finally, the minister addressed a gathering of local business people along with Andrea Jenkyns, prospective Conservative MP for Morley and Outwood.

I went with a shoot through for the shots to make sure I got as much light into the background as I could and had the luxury of adding a kicker light during the interview with the journalists but thereafter, I was resigned to bounce flash as there were just too many folks in the room for the minister’s speech and setting up a flash stand was bound to have ended in disaster.
