Charity fashion photoshoot at Capture Factory

10/04/2018 | Comments: 0 | Posted by: Capture Factory | In: Blog, Brighton, Brighton Photographer, Commercial Photographer, Fashion Photographer, Model Photography, Studio Photographer

Charity fashion photoshoot at Capture Factory

Capture Factory recently worked on a charity fashion photoshoot where a Brighton boutique has collaborated with a few of the UK’s leading charities and £10 from each sale will go towards the charity. The three charities are Whoopsadaisy – helping children with cerebral palsy, Born Free – raising awareness of endangered species across the world, and Plan International – advancing children’s rights and equality for girls around the world. The photoshoot took place at our Brighton studio where we photographed the models wearing the garments along with providing the invisible mannequin imagery for our client.

Consistency with every shoot

We aim for consistency with every photoshoot that takes place with Capture Factory, so if you work with us on a regular basis your images will match in colour balance and lighting every time so they sit nicely on your website. This is the case for both model shoots and invisible mannequin, we’ll make sure to use the same settings and lighting when shooting, then when it comes to editing we’ll use the same background colours, crop sizes and so on. Of course if you’re thinking of changing things we’ll happily accommodate to any requirements!

Free Photography Trial for new clients

If you’re new to shooting with Capture Factory, drop us an email or call us and chat about your next photoshoot. In your email, if you can give us as much information as possible then we can give you a quote.

Location beach photoshoot for swimwear brand

09/04/2018 | Comments: 0 | Posted by: Capture Factory | In: Behind the scenes, Blog, Brighton, Brighton Photographer, Commercial Photographer, Fashion Photographer, Model Photography

Location beach photoshoot for a swimwear brand

This location beach photoshoot for a swimwear brand took place on the Sussex coastline. This photoshoot was to capture the swimwear range being worn by two models. The location for this shoot was near Camber Sand where there was the beautiful sandy beach with sand dunes, crisp white beach huts and a holiday campervan which made for some varied photos. The models were chosen by our client from one of the modelling agencies we had recomended and onsite was a hair and make up artist at hand, along with the Capture Factory photography and video team. We were asked to film some behind the scenes action to make into a short film so it was a busy and fun couple of days spent shooting on the beach.

Take a look at some of the video footage from this shoot in our showreel here

Choosing the photos and re-touching

If you book a location photoshoot the way it works is we’ll shoot as many photos as we can in the time, we’ll then send you over a contact sheet with all of the RAW pre-edited images and you can choose which ones you’d like to have re-touched. Re-touching can range from slight tweaks like a skin softener, dust and crease removal to more in depth editing like if your model has a tattoo you’d like removed in each photo.

How to book your photoshoot with Capture Factory

Whether you’re looking to book a location shoot or a photoshoot at our Brighton studio all you need to do is either give us a call and speak to one of our friendly staff on 01273 958464 or drop us an email to info@capturefactory.co.uk Let us know what kind of shoot you want to book and we’ll give you a quote and book you in.

We were asked to shoot the bag from multiple angles along with a shot of the bag opened with props placed inside to give the customer the vision of using it themselves. Many of our clients also require a 360 video of their products, this is enables your customers to see your products at every angle possible.

Take a look at our 360 Photography page to find out more about this exciting service we offer.

Why a white background?

Many clients go for the white background option, also known as pack-shots, when having their products photographed. This is for lots of reasons for example, it’s a clear and concise way of presenting your products with no distractions for viewers to get drawn to. It looks consistent and neat when up on a website, plus there’s scope for comping together multiple images and text for social media. Having products photographed against a pure white background is also what many magazines and publications ask for if they want to feature them, this is so that text can go alongside the images easily or they can be grouped together with other photos.

Capture Factory were very professional and definitely worth venturing to outside of London. They made my photoshoot a really fun experience which was great considering it can be stressful wanting to achieve the best outcome for your work. My photographs turned out much better than expected due to their guidance and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.
