Portfolio Update: Plymouth Hospitals Charity Visual Library

Client Brief:
Corinne Bailey, the Charity Development Manager of University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust, approached me with a project to create a visual library of images that would celebrate the tremendous work Plymouth Hospitals Charity has accomplished in recent years. These images were designed to enhance their social media presence, annual reports, and website, serving as visual storytelling tools to highlight their impact within the trust.

Project Execution:
To meet the brief, I spent a day at the hospital capturing authentic moments with teams, patients, and the hospital environment. The goal was to create a collection of images that conveyed the dedication and compassion of everyone involved with the charity and the wider hospital staff.

Challenges and Achievements:
From a practical perspective, the project demanded careful planning and adaptability to work seamlessly in a dynamic hospital setting. Despite these challenges, I was able to create a vibrant and diverse visual body of work that aligned with the charity’s mission and communication goals. You can read more about their annual report by clicking the link below, (spoiler alert – some of the images from this shoot have been used in the report 😉

This collaboration was a rewarding experience and it allowed me to contribute to an incredible charity that is making a difference in the Deriford Plymouth Hospital and the wider community.
