On Location Jewellery Photo Shoot at the Beach!

Here at Capture Factory, we wanted to give you a little bit of insight into our most recent on location jewellery photo shoot. One of our clients requested that their jewellery got shot on the beach, and of course, we were immediately on board with the idea! On location shoots tend to be the most fun, as you are in a whole new environment and are able to experience an idea come to life with the help of professional photographers and equipment. Here are the main characteristics of an on location shoot with us and what we provide!

Models

In this particular case, the client provided their own model. However, it is very common for clients to come to us for advice on the best models to hire to showcase their products.  We work closely with a trusted modelling agency to provide us with the best models at competitive prices. We aim to satisfy the clients’ needs in terms of what they request in the physical attributes of a model. This will help set the tone for the style of the photoshoot and for the particular products. For this location jewellery photo shoot we only used one model to wear all of the jewellery. This is because we wanted to keep it simple and showcase how each piece would look in a consistent manner. We also provided a talented makeup artist and hair stylist to complete the look.

Pack Shots

On top of providing the model shots for our client, we also provided pack shots of the individual products. All of your products are shot at our Brighton HQ by our lovely and talented team. Having detailed in-studio shots of the jewellery is just as important as having an on location jewellery photo shoot. This way your potential clients are able to experience the products in multiple ways, both worn and also displayed on a clear background.

Our Must Have Accessories for this Summer

17/07/2018 | Comments: 0 | Posted by: Capture Factory | In: Blog, Brighton, Brighton Photographer, Commercial Photographer, Fashion Photographer, Lifestyle Photography, Model Photography, Photographer, Product Photographer, Studio Photographer, Styling

Our Top 5 Must Have Accessories for this Summer!

Now that we’re in the midst of summer, it’s time for us to share some of our must have accessories for this season. Nobody was expecting this sudden heatwave in the UK, but now that it’s here it’s time to enjoy the warm weather and look glamorous! Here at Capture Factory we have compiled a list of our top 5 accessory essentials that we’ve photographed and that we think will help spice up all your summer outfits.

Sunglasses

This might sound obvious, but you would be surprised at how much difference a pair of sunglasses can do. It can be just what you need to make an outfit go from mediocre to stylish. Whether you are wearing the glasses to actually protect your eyes, wearing them on your head or have them hanging over the neckline of your shirt, they will for sure make an impact. They also serve a practical use, of course, for those days where your eyes just can’t take the blinding sun rays. Sunglasses come in so many shapes and sizes that you will definitely find a pair that suits you! This is why we have added them to our list of must have accessories. To find out more about the shoot we worked on for the picture below click here.

Temporary Tattoos

Although unusual, temporary tattoos have been on the rise recently. They allow you to experiment without having a permanent commitment! Temporary tattoos are very popular at summer festivals and other events where people love to stand out. They become must have accessories in the warm weather as people love to flaunt them with their fresh summer tan. You can use them subtly as a replacement for jewellery or simply as an add-on to your look. This shot below was taken by Capture Factory for a temporary tattoo company.

Foulards

These are essentially scarves for the summer. For when it reaches the lower temperatures in the evenings or for those windier summer days, it is always handy to stay a little warmer in a fashionable way. Foulards fall into your must have accessories if you want to embellish your outfit and also be practical. You can of course wear them around your neck, but you could also use them to cover yourself if you get cold, like a versatile blanket, but not as heavy! They are usually made from a thin material and come in hundreds of colours and patterns. Check out this behind the scenes video on a scarves fashion shoot at Capture Factory Photography.

Hats

When it comes to hats, not everybody will be a fan. It can sometimes be hard to find the perfect one that will suit you, but once you do you will never want to take it off! We found that the most popular summer hat is the straw hat, or just a simple cap. Hats are such a bold statement that they can either make or break an outfit. Hence the importance of carefully combining it with your outfit to complement it rather than making it too cluttered. Hats are great to protect yourself from the heat and are a great accessory, it’s the best of both worlds! The shot below was taken by our head photographer Rory for a hats brand in central Brighton.

Cover Ups

Last but not least, it is worth mentioning something for all those lucky people who will be spending some time at the beach this summer, cover ups. As the name suggests, these are simply garments that are worn over swimwear. With the temperatures rising, cover ups are great for when you don’t want to fully dress up after the beach or pool but are happy to lounge in something more than just a bikini. You can stay fresh by still looking stylish, what could be better? The photograph below is from a fashion e-commerce shoot taken at our Brighton studio.

In the summer, it is quite easy to feel limited when it comes to composing an outfit as layering is not an option. This is why accessories are a great way to spice up your outfits and make you feel fashionable! If you would like to have a look at our latest on location swimwear shoot click here

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.

UK location photoshoot with cycle brand

08/02/2018 | Comments: 0 | Posted by: Capture Factory | In: Blog, Brighton, Brighton Photographer, Commercial Photographer, Photographer

UK location photoshoot for a prestigious cycle brand

Capture Fatory’s head photographer Rory heads out for a UK location photoshoot to capture some bikes in action. Here are a few shots from the shoot with one of our regular clients. Last summer we shot their promo video which they were very happy with and are using it across the web. You can see it on our blog post here. When were working on their video, our team was not only capturing footage for the video but also taking stills so that they could be used as well. Capture Factory used their 4K drone which caught some amazing aerial and panoramic shots, something that really adds a whole other perspective to a video or photography. Take a look at our Drone page to find out more!

Capturing the bikes in action

This shoot was to capture the bikes in-situ along with heading to cycle brand’s HQ where Rory photographed people using their equipment. Location shoots are great for you to take your products out of the studio and help your customers imagine using them for themselves. It adds variety to a business’ aesthetic and can make it really come to life. Model shoots, location and lifestyle photography is something we do a lot of at Capture Factory, if you’re looking to have some new photography or a video made then give us a call and have a chat with one of our friendly team members. We’d love to hear your ideas! 

You’ll always get the results you’re after

Our focus at Capture Factory is to ensure our clients are always happy with their images, and with everything done in-house from the styling, photographing and editing, you can talk to your photographer directly about any changes you’d like made on your final photos.

Shooting a bike & cycle wear location video in Surrey

12/12/2017 | Comments: 0 | Posted by: Capture Factory | In: Blog, Brighton Photographer, Commercial Photographer, Photographer, Photography Equipment

Capture Factory shoot a bike & cycle wear location video

Earlier this year we worked on a bike & cycle wear location video for one of a prestigious cycle company. The location couldn’t be more perfect as it was filmed around Boxhill and the Surrey Hills which is an iconic cycle route and also part of the Olympics.

At the crack of dawn the car was packed with all of our photography, video and Drone equipment and our specialists made their way to the beautiful countryside in Surrey. We were hired as a multi media team to shoot their promotional material including a short video along with taking still images for use online, print & social media. Their new range of cycle wear and bicycles were being used by professional models and cyclists, so they were having as much fun as us!

Combine photography & video on the same shoot

We brought our 4K drone which our head photographer, Rory, is CAA approved to use for commercial purposes. This is a fantastic piece of equipment that’s non-obtrusive and meant we were able to capture aerial and panoramic shots. We were lucky with the picturesque summers day and the lighting was perfect, from sunrise to sunset we were shooting & filming all day across various routes. Take a look at our Drone Photography & Video page

From styling, sourcing models, photography, filming and editing, you’ll always have constant communication with us and can speak to your shooter directly.

Brighton location photoshoot on the beach

Capture Factory works on a Brighton location photoshoot

Here are some shots from a Brighton location photoshoot that Capture Factory took for a client that makes beautiful scarves. We were asked to capture some photos on a location for this particular shoot, and we’re lucky that our studio is not only so close to the sea but is also surrounded by the countryside. So we thought the beach along Rottingdean would be the prime spot for this photoshoot, as there’s some overgrown grass that’s perfect for model shots. This location also boasts stunning sea views and the beach huts are picturesque too, giving so many possibilities to keep the images varied and interesting.

Photography & video at Capture Factory

Capture Factory doesn’t just do photography, we also offer a fantastic video production service including the option of using a state of the art 4K Drone. This is great for aerial views and can be used for both video and photography. So if you’re looking to have some new imagery for your business, with Capture Factory, you can also add panoramic and aerial footage to your portfolio for an extra bit of interest. Take a look at our Drone Video Page

Previous location shoots

We have produced shoots for a variety of different clients with different concepts for what they want the outcome to be. For example just a couple of shoots we have produced will range from manufacturing, model, vehicle and fashion. So our repertoire is very broad. We enjoy a challenge and are always up for new experiences and love meeting new people. We shoot both in black and white or colour, models or products, and unless the client already knows the location of where they would like the shoot to take place, we have people who will scout for ideal locations to fit with the theme of the shoot.
