Corporate Executive Portrait

This executive portrait session involved a bit of time to choose the ideal setting for the bokeh. This turned out beautifully for a fresh inviting background for this financial institution. We shot staff portraits, group meeting shots, lots of casual lifestyle work station shots and executive lifestyle (AKA environmental) shots in their office setting. This full day shoot was accomplished with organization and time allowance for moving lighting equipment and set up time-it was a flawless shooting schedule with all the objectives achieved. Using a Westcott Rapid Box, Paul Buff Einstein and Canon 70-200 mm lens yielded stunning quality shots with the depth this lens is known for.

Book Author Portrait

It’s worth waiting for! We knew this portrait would be ideal for our children’s book author.  With everything set up, we waited…for the sunlight. The breath taking explosion of light bathing our subject was exciting. While leaning on a white piano the elements of the room worked together to give us this lovely portrait.

We used a Paul C Buff Einstein flash with a 10% grid.

This fun shoot was on campus and the trees made for stunning bokeh. Cropping was the key to the final image to bring the eyes up close and invitingly friendly.  Shot using flash and a soft box to focus light where the photographer wanted it.

Executive Headshot

Shot in-studio this headshot represents the executive as approachable–as a manager of a thousand people it’s an important reflection.  This was shot with continuous light using a style developed for film stars decades ago called “Paramount Lighting”.  It’s also called “Butterfly Lighting” because of the shape of the shadow under the nose.  It’s a flattering lighting style.

Musician Headshot

Musician photo sessions are full of creative ideas. Musicians are all about the music and their instrument, so we gave center stage to the trumpet in this headshot.  The beauty and contrast of the metal and skin is the life a musician breathes into his instrument.  This was shot in-studio using Paul Buff’s PLM umbrellas and Einstein Studio Flash for precise control of the strength of light.

What separates a headshot is the intimacy of the subject with the camera/photographer.  While a portrait may be full length, 3/4 length or chest high, a headshot is about the face.  Lighting is the key. The above was shot with Paul C Buff Einstein and Beauty Dish.  The light wraps around the face creating subtle shadows.  For the subject of a headshot – the facial expression is critical.  Talk with your photographer before the session to capture the expression you are looking to convey to your viewers.

Portraits for men begin with getting the subject relaxed in front of the camera. A natural relaxed position is the goal so the subject looks comfortable. You only have a few minutes to determine the best pose for any given shot. There are no hard fast rules. You’re looking for individuality.
