Headshots for Square One Shopping Centre

THE LAST JOB I (stef) HAD BEFORE DIVING FULL TIME INTO PHOTOGRAPHY WAS WORKING AT SQUARE ONE…

So getting a call from one of my old co-workers asking to come back and shoot some of the staff felt like a full circle moment. Oxford (the parent company of Square One) has an online directory of all of its staff, headshot included, and I remember getting mine taken once or twice in my time there. Turns out this year was the year of getting photos updated so when Suzie, the marketing assistant, caught wind she immediately thought of us and reached out. It was almost surreal going back to work at the mall but not quite for the mall in the same way as before. It was also so nice to see so many familiar faces and catch up in between shooting!

Since we were shooting everyone employed by Oxford (management, housekeeping, guest services, maintenance staff, security, etc.) we embarked on a multi-day shoot to try and get in as many people as possible. We had a little studio set up (either in the boardroom or whatever office space was available) with a large softbox for some soft even light, and staff came during or between their shift while we were there.

While we can’t share all of the staff (there’d be way too many photos) check out a handful of them down below…
