Group Headshots — Oxford Brookes Musical Theatre, January 2026
Oxford Brookes Musical Theatre Society. Two sessions across January 2026. Twenty-plus members, an olive-green seamless backdrop, an EF85mm f/1.4L, and the specific challenge of delivering consistent, professional headshots at scale without any of them feeling processed on a production line.
The answer is always the same: take the time with each person. Three expressions, one of which will be the one. The last one is always the best.

INDIVIDUAL HEADSHOTS — OLIVE GREEN BACKDROP
The EF85mm f/1.4L on olive-green seamless delivers the background separation and flattering portrait perspective that professional headshots require. The olive-green was chosen specifically to complement the full range of skin tones across the group.

SUB-GROUP AND FULL COMPANY
The group sub-sessions produced their own editorial moments. Nine members in two rows against the white seamless, each one individually resolved, the whole reading as a company rather than a collection.
