This was my second shoot with Ed Renshaw at Acacia Growth.
Ed is a leadership and executive coach, helping leaders navigate change, growth and the challenges that come with stepping into bigger roles.
Ed had recently refreshed the Acacia Growth brand, so it was time for some new photography to go alongside it and give him a fresh bank of images to use across his website, LinkedIn and wider marketing.
This time we headed to the shared workspace where Ed often works. It was a great setting for the shoot, giving us plenty of lifestyle backdrops and variety without needing to go far. We also managed to shoot Ed’s intro video while we had a quiet moment in the space. Timing it well meant we could get a clean, distraction-free recording without interrupting the flow of the shoot.
Ed is one of those people who is genuinely easy to photograph. Relaxed, personable and very good at what he does, which makes capturing natural, confident images that feel like him a lot easier.
I always love working with clients for a second time. There’s a familiarity there that makes the shoot really easy, and it’s nice to be able to take what we did last time and try something a little different.
There was, inevitably, plenty of chat about cricket (we’re both fans – what’s happened to me?!), and quite a bit about The Oval, where Ed has worked from and where they now have a ‘work from here’ scheme. Next shoot at The Oval Ed?! 🏏
Thanks for trusting me with your images again, Ed. Always a pleasure. 📸
