Behind the Scenes: Our First-Ever Professional Photo Shoot with Radio Plus
Working with Radio Plus was such an amazing opportunity! This was the very first professional photo shoot the radio group had ever done — and I was honored to be part of it from start to finish.
Radio Plus is the proud home of four dynamic radio stations that each bring their own personality and sound to listeners across multiple counties:
- ☀️ Sunny 97.7
- 🎸 95.1 & 96.1 The Rock
- 📰 The Source
- 🎙️ The Great 98
Each station covers different genres and audiences, but one thing they all have in common is a passionate team behind the mic.
Step One: Planning the Shoot
Before we could get started with the full team, I met up with Wheels from the Wheely Big Show for a planning and test session at the studio. We experimented with two lighting styles:
- A traditional, evenly lit setup — bright, clean, and classic.
- A one-light setup with a bare bulb — creating dramatic contrast, rich shadows, and a sleek, modern vibe.
Wheels immediately fell in love with the second style — the bold lighting gave the images a distinct and edgy feel, perfect for the fun and unpredictable world of radio.
With a look locked in, we set a date for the full shoot and got ready to meet the rest of the team!
Lights, Camera, Laughs
If there’s one thing I learned during this shoot, it’s that radio personalities are hilarious. Every single person brought their unique energy, and while a few were a bit nervous at first (totally normal!), the vibe quickly turned into one big creative jam session. After just a few clicks of the camera, everyone was relaxed, confident, and having a blast.
Capturing genuine laughter and personality is one of my favorite parts of photography — and this shoot delivered plenty of both.
More Than Just Headshots
One of the best things about this shoot is how versatile the content has been for the Radio Plus team. These photos weren’t just taken to check a box — they’ve already been used in multiple ways:
📱 Social Media – Especially on Facebook and Instagram, where visual content is key.
🎥 Advertising – Eye-catching visuals are now showing at the local movie theater.
🌐 Website Updates – Fresh faces and modern branding help their stations stand out online.
📸 Promotional Videos – Professional portraits help pull everything together with a polished look.
This project was such a joy to be part of. Thank you, Radio Plus, for trusting me to tell your story through photos — and for making it so much fun along the way!
