 Business Portrait Photography: Heather

We were recently commissioned to produce a set of portrait images of Heather Carter, founder of the 1st National Sales Academy. I spent some time to get to know Heather so I could really represent Heather in the portrait photography. I decided to photograph Heather in her workplace, as well as a few outdoor shots to compliment the selection.

Heather is currently using the portrait photos on her social media profiles. The images were also used in a short promotional video as stills overlaying audio. Heather is a thoroughly engaging character and I had great fun meeting and photographing her!

Newbury Photography has photographed the band. Back in 2007 we photographed them at DeBees in Winsford.
