Photo finish: new Hope for cooler corporate photography

When is a corporate photo not a corporate photo? When it’s an effective and compelling branding, marketing and PR vehicle. One way to take a normally banal bit of collateral and amp-up its efficacy is to jettison those same old same old corporate photos of your staff and replace them with photos that people will actually engage with, that help to define your brand attitudinally and emotionally. In order to pull this off, you need the right photographer.

We just had a fantastic experience with San Francisco-based photographer Jon Hope who came to Igor headquarters to take some people shots for an article in the July edition of Arrive magazine. Check out his portfolio and ask yourself, “Is our corporate photography working hard enough?”

    There is truth in what you say but you might also note the difference between editorial and corporate portrait work. Almost no corporation I have worked for has ever wanted an editorial style pictures for their branding. That said there is a great deal of signature work that can be done within the stale confines of the corporate aesthetic that can go a long way to distinguish youself from the pack.
