Case study – London team photography with SOS Systems

Sector: Print and document workflow solutions

About the client

SOS Systems are experts in print and document workflow solutions, working with a wide range of clients, including those in the legal and professional services sectors. Based in London, Gatwick and Southampton, their team supports businesses with smart, secure and sustainable technology designed to improve workflow and efficiency.

As part of a recent website refresh, SOS Systems wanted to update their visual content with photography that reflected their growth, energy and people-first approach.

SOS Systems brief

From our first conversation, it was clear that SOS Systems wanted their team photography to feel fresh, confident and human. They were after more than just standard headshots. They wanted to showcase their team in action and bring personality to their brand imagery.

Together we created a shot list that would include:

  • Natural team portraits
  • Informal and relaxed moments of the team at work
  • Leadership images with character
  • Detail shots to support the website design

The final images needed to feel authentic and consistent, aligning with the brand’s tone of voice and helping SOS Systems connect with both new and existing clients.

Our approach

We planned the shoot to be flexible, working around the team’s day-to-day activity. The photography took place in a relaxed office environment, where we could capture the SOS Systems team in a space that felt natural and familiar.

With years of experience photographing teams, I know how important it is to help people feel at ease in front of the camera, especially those who don’t enjoy having their photo taken. By keeping things informal and collaborative, we were able to capture genuine interactions and confident portraits that reflect the culture and professionalism of the business.

The results

The final set of photography gives SOS Systems a rich visual library to draw from, perfect for their new website, social media, and ongoing marketing.

The imagery reflects the energy and expertise of the team, helping position SOS Systems as a trusted partner in sectors where professionalism and personal connection really matter.

From start to finish, Nick was knowledgeable, helpful and extremely easy to work with.

We recently used Nick Cole Photography to capture new photography for our business. Nick was able to provide us with a lot to think about before the shoot, which made the day extremely easy and straightforward. He understood our brief and managed to capture images even better than we hoped for. We would recommend Nick to anyone and look forward to working with him again in the future.
