Barclays Event Photography

Client: Barclays

Project Title: Event Photography

Background

Barclays is a British universal bank whose businesses include consumer banking and payments operations worldwide and a top-tier, full-service, global corporate and investment bank.

Brief

As COVID-19 slowly transitions to endemic, in-person events and gatherings are starting to make a return. Barclays approached us to help them with their photography needs, commemorating the gathering of employees with Paul Compton, Global Head of the Corporate & Investment Bank, and Alexander Harrison, Country CEO Singapore and Chief Operating Officer, Asia Pacific.

Response

While it is true that this is standard photography work, it is not your normal and formal “look at the camera and pose” approach. We opted for candid and behind-the-scenes type of photos. We followed Paul everywhere he went in the event and shot as he went about his day, resulting in candid and authentic photos. 

The turnaround time for this assignment was quick as the photos needed to be posted on Barclays’ social media on the same day of the event. Therefore, our photographer did quick colour corrections and editing on the spot. The photos taken comprise wide and telephoto shots, giving Barclays a good variety to choose which to post.

Finally, we transferred the raw photos to Barclays so they can use them down the line as they see fit. 

Outcome

The photos taken on the day are posted on their LinkedIn here.
