While "high-key" white-background corporate portraits are still very popular, I am regularly commissioned to photograph portraits of staff and management of companies in The Midlands in a natural and relaxed style known as environmental portraiture. This style makes use of whatever surroundings can be found within the workplace, but I use them in such a way to compliment the subjects, rather than over-powering them.
Here are some examples of some staff portraits I took for a housing association in Leicestershire:

Although I wasn't one of the photographers who have been hanging around outside a certain London hospital for the last three weeks, I was really interested to see the variety of photos produced of William and Kate with their new baby Prince of Cambridge. Time magazine have put together one photo from each photographer present yesterday. From what was essentially a five-minute photo shoot, it's amazing the variety of images. It really takes me back to my days as a press photographer.
Many congratulations to William and Kate, as you really can't beat the feeling of being parents for the first time. It's a magical (if exhausting!) time.
