Our process.
As your local, expert portrait photographer based in Christchurch, we bring a simple and proven approach to capturing your team at their most genuine and stunning:
Pre-production.
Our first step is to discuss and understand your requirements before providing a quote. Once approved, we work with you to develop a detailed brief and shooting schedule, which we will communicate with you and your team in the lead-up to the shoot.
Production.
We cater our portrait shoots to your needs. They can either be held on location or in our professional studios—whichever works best for you. We capture a variety of images for each individual, while making this selection uniform across your team for consistency.
Post-production.
Once the shoot is finished we’ll work to enhance the images, removing blemishes and balancing colour, light and contrast to your taste. Post-production complete, we deliver your hi-res photos via secure online storage.

People & portrait photography
People trust people more than they trust brands. This is what makes professional portrait photography such a wise business investment—it helps your audience build familiarity and trust. From the boardroom to the building site, every portrait tells a story. At Focus Point Photo we’ve built a reputation for capturing these stories in the most authentic and attractive light.
Our difference.
Capturing great professional portraits demands a unique skill set—if a subject’s natural and authentic self is to show through, they need to feel at ease. Between our process, our planning and our years of experience, we’re a portrait photographer renowned for our ability to make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera.
We arrive early to on-location sessions to scope out the best spots and ensure no one waits for the shoot to start. We are creative, professional, and pride ourselves on our ability to make portrait shoots enjoyable, and to capture Christchurch professionals in the best possible light.

Client experiences
"We arranged for Jarrard to do a food photography shoot for a lodge and found him very thorough, organised and professional to deal with prior to the photo shoot and we felt that he really listened to what our needs were.
On the day he was very flexible and worked around our chefs timing which made it very easy.
The photos he took were amazing and he got them back to us in a very timely manner which we appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jarrard to anyone looking for a professional food photographer"
"Isovalve™ used Jarrard at Focus Point Photo (then Catalyst Creative) to undertake a product photo-shoot for us primarily in preparation for our entries for the Design Institute of New Zealand Best Awards, but also to keep on file for marketing purposes. The photos had to be of the highest quality, showcasing very 'dry' plumbing products at their absolute best.
We have been delighted with the end result of his work, which we continue to use on a daily basis, and would not hesitate to use Jarrard again or recommend him for any photographic assignment."
"Jarrard and his team are a breeze to work with, fast turnaround, accommodating and gave us great suggestions to make the most of the brief. Our products are very varied in size and shape and the images are well presented and consistent, we’re very happy with them."
"The team at Catalyst, especially the eyes and vision behind the lens, Jarrard, are a genuine professional pleasure to work with. The vision, foresight and expertise to capture our final material in our own unique style for national publication and marketing has always been delivered far and beyond our brief. Their professionalism in post production and campaign assistance rounds off a fun, rewarding and professional result each and every time."
