Video conferencing: the modern day shirt and tie
Video/web calls enable people to ‘meet up’ in any place, at any time – for an array of circumstances.
Whether you’re having a job interview, managing a project call, running a coaching session or simply checking in with your distributed team, the importance of ensuring your presence is felt, and that you’re seen and heard, has never been more important.
That’s why we’ve called on two industry experts, renowned photographer Chris Allerton and broadcasting guru Jon Stethridge, to help you stand out in all situations.
Chris Allerton
After leaving the British Army in 2001, Chris worked at the Lichfield Studios in Notting Hill, London, learning his trade under the watchful eye of legendary photographer Patrick Lichfield.
He now travels all over the world on commissions, specialising in location portrait, fashion and private event photography.
Along with his private clients, he works with major fashion houses and top international companies. As such, his photographs have featured in numerous publications internationally including Harpers Bazaar, Tatler, The Sunday Telegraph, Sunday Times Style, Country Life, Hello!, Ralph Lauren Magazine and Le Figaro.
What Chris doesn’t know about lighting, and making a visual impact, isn’t worth knowing.
