Design & Art Direction

In the world of business, every photoshoot presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities. With years of experience under her belt, Lara Jane Thorpe is perfectly positioned to support you through every stage of your shoot. Offering her expertise, knowledge, and creative direction to ensure your project not only meets but exceeds your expectations.

Lara begins by immersing herself in your market. She takes the time to analyze your industry landscape, researching competitors and identifying trends that can set your brand apart. This deep dive into your business environment allows her to discover fresh, innovative looks that will resonate with your audience and elevate your brand.

Visual Inspiration Board

One of the key tools Lara uses in her process is the creation of a visual inspiration board. This board serves as the foundation of your project, compiling ideas and inspirations that will shape the direction of your shoot. It includes:

  • Photography Style: Exploring different styles that align with your brand identity.
  • Styling & Props: Suggestions for props, textures, and colour palettes that bring your brand to life.
  • Colours & Textures: A cohesive palette that reflects your brand’s personality and values.

This mood board is presented and refined in collaboration with you, ensuring that everyone is on the same page before the cameras start rolling. By agreeing on the look and feel of the shoot in advance, Lara ensures that the day of the shoot is both efficient and creatively fruitful.

Preparation & Planning

Once the vision is set, Lara moves into the planning phase. She carefully organizes all necessary props and technical equipment, making sure everything is ready to bring your concept to life. Her meticulous preparation is key to a smooth and successful shoot, allowing for flexibility and spontaneity on the day while keeping the project on track.

Tailored Photography for Every Need

Understanding how you plan to use your images is crucial to the shoot’s success. Lara tailors her photography to meet your specific needs, whether it’s for digital platforms, print media, or a combination of both. Different orientations and compositions are considered to ensure your images are versatile and effective across all mediums.

A Balance of Planning and Spontaneity

On the day of the shoot, Lara blends careful planning with creative spontaneity, striking that perfect balance where the magic happens. Her goal is to supply you with authentic, unique images that not only capture your brand’s essence but also contribute to its growth.

Whether you’re looking to create a new visual identity or simply need expert guidance to refine your existing one, Lara’s design and art direction services offer the comprehensive support you need to bring your vision to life.

Lara goes above and beyond the role of photographer and I am always so excited to receive her emails to see the final shots!

When starting a new project, she takes time and care to understand the brand and ethos behind it, she researched the industry to create fresh energetic images with a new perspective on products.

Lara is a top choice for many Dorset Food and Drink members, who commission and use Lara’s images on their websites and social media channels, adding value to their branding and communications.

She has the ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and also be invisible when you're trying to get those more candid shots too. Highly recommended!

Her work is creative and professional and on many occasions Lara went above and beyond the call of duty to get the job done right.
