GP Photography Principles — Real-life snapshot feel. Strong depth of field. Positivity and positive action in every frame. Unlocking the power and potential.
GP Brand Framing — Shoot With Post in Mind
The RAC Club's Edwardian interiors — warm brass lighting, dark panelling, marble — naturally complement GP's deep navy #1C1C33 palette. For portraits and pairs, allow generous headroom and shoulder room. Images will be cropped to GP's globe-mark framing system in post: Full Circle, Inside, and Half Circle. Neutral or dark architectural backgrounds preferred. Shoot RAW where possible.
