Brand shoot for BE VIP in Huddersfield

BE VIP luxury mens clothing

I was hired to photograph some lifestyles shots for BE VIP a new luxury men’s clothing brand in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. I headed over to the stunningly beautiful Empire House in Slaithwaite, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire to meet up with Josh the owner of BE VIP.

Some people can just do it.

Josh was one of those people who just look stylish, he seems to ooze style and fortunately, he was the one who was going to be modelling for the shots. There was a very chilled out vibe so everything seemed quite easy. All I had to do was to find the best places to shoot and to be fair at Empire House I was spoiled for choice. As soon as I found somewhere Josh would do his thing and the whole shoot just flowed.

Old dude

Josh was great and he was chatting to the girl in Empire House but honestly, they could have been speaking a foreign language. It was certainly an eye-opener for me and I realised I am that old dude! I try to be down with the kids but during this shoot, I was just so lost. When they started talking about DJ’s and influencers I just had to stop talking as it was a conversation that I just couldn’t join in on.

The brand is more than just a fashion brand. It represents a culture and a lifestyle, they do have massive plans for everything which do sound mighty impressive and I hope they do achieve them. The clothes are obviously very stylish and they are of fabulous quality and they did look good on Josh.

Variety is the spice of life

When I am hired for a photo shoot I try to give as much variety as possible. Most of the time I try my best to work with natural light and capture and document photos, however, I am not opposed to lights and flashes. I did have to use a little bit of additional lighting on this shoot but it often slows the process down.

My experience enables me to know when we have the shots that are required, then it’s time to move on to another area and do a different look and this process means that we end up with loads of fabulous pictures. The shoot from start to finish took less than two hours and we came back with a fabulous portfolio of images for BE VIP
