Crucible Chambers
Case Study: Professional Headshots at Middle Temple
Professional headshots for barristers, team portraits and website imagery for a modern barristers’ chambers in Lincoln’s Inn, High Holborn
Crucible Chambers
- Crucible Chambers is a modern barristers’ chambers in Lincoln’s Inn, High Holborn, specialising in crime, regulatory law, professional discipline, and public law. They are known for clear, practical advocacy and advice.
- They wanted photography that showed both professionalism and approachability whilst maintaining their traditional values. With Gannon Studios, their headshots, team photos, and website branding photography reflect the same modern, collaborative ethos as their practice.
The Brief
- Professional, consistent headshots of their barristers and other members that captured their modern approach while also reflecting the tradition and prestige of Middle Temple.
- An easy solution to getting headshots for their new joiners
- Reportage-style web images to use on their website and marketing materials
Across 2 days of photographing, we worked closely with Crucible to capture their professional identity in a way that reflected both tradition and approachability. Headshots were taken in the Taskers’ Room at Middle Temple Library, using the elegant setting as a backdrop. We also created a library of images around Inner Temple Garden, Elm Court, and Fountain Court, capturing authentic reportage-style shots of members in conversation and in meetings.
The Process
Watch the video to see the setup inside Middle Temple Library where we photographed the headshots we created a short behind the scenes video. This shows how we carefully prepared the lighting, equipment, and background capture to ensure consistency across all headshots.
The Results
We love the range of images we created for Crucible that reflect both the gravitas and approachability of their team.
To prepare for future members, we also captured a standalone image of the background. This allows us to photograph new joiners in our City of London studio and seamlessly integrate them with the original set, ensuring visual consistency across the chambers’ website and publications.
One of the images below was photographed in our studio and not in Middle Temple. Can you tell which one??
Gannon Studios are the very best in the business. They were used by one of my former employers, and I have recommended them everywhere I’ve been since. Everyone I’ve mentioned them to has agreed that their work quality is unsurpassed. The whole team are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to make sure the photo quality and style is first rate. You absolutely will not find better. Anywhere.
