Occasionally you have an opportunity to take professional headshots that are slightly different.  Purple Shoots, a Welsh-based business focused on helping people start up small businesses, was having a team meeting in Hirwaun.  The location made it challenging to take the headshots inside.  However, it was May and the trees were full of fresh green leaves.  These photographs were taken underneath the tree, away from direct sunlight.  Having a coloured background enhances the subjects complexion and creates a much warmer image.  The tree-background also linked back to Purple Shoots business and their tagline ‘little loans to grow ideas’.
