Law firm Olswang’s head of film and television Lisbeth Savill has been operating in the law sector for more than 20 years, sorting finance for every kind of project, from Disney films and Bond movies to gritty independent titles. I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing her last week for a corporate headshot photography comission. Most recently Libby earned a credit as co-executive producer on The King’s Speech. She was there to watch the film’s star Colin Firth pick up the Best Actor Award at the British Independent Film Awards in December and describes him as “a charming man, absolutely deserving of all the credit he’s getting”.

Event photography London based at Fulham Footbal Club, who were hosting their annual Christmas dinner with corporate clients in December and a couple of the club’s key football players, invited to meet the guests, incuding defenders Brede Hangeland and Aaron Hughes. The evening was photographed in a reportage, candid style with some formal shots of the players and guests required, together with a series of images showing items being signed to meet the brief. Here is a small selection of images from the evening.
