Annual Report Photography
Images created for an annual report rarely remain in the report alone; the same set is also used on the corporate website and in press communications. The shoot is therefore planned for the organisation’s wider communications needs, not for a single publication.
Which Images Does an Annual Report Need?
The core annual-report image set consists of a group portrait of the board or executive committee, together with individual portraits of the CEO and other members. These images are used both in the report and in investor communications. Even when they are photographed on different sets, consistent lighting and atmosphere make the images feel like parts of a single shoot.
Annual-report shoots often take place on the same day as board meetings. Several lighting setups are kept ready so both group and individual portraits can be produced during the limited time when the executives are together, keeping the time required from each person to a minimum. The number of images varies by project and is confirmed in a short consultation covering the number of people, location and intended use.
Group and Individual Portraits in One Day
The window when the board and senior management are together is usually limited. Lighting is prepared in advance so both the group portrait and individual portraits can be completed within that time. Executives enter the set in turn without waiting for setup, and the report imagery is completed on the same day.
Images are delivered in separate sizes for the annual report, corporate website and press use. The shoot can take place at the company’s office, production facility or my Istanbul studio; we choose the location together during the quotation stage. If you are planning a similar shoot, you can view the corporate photography service.
