Staff Lifestyle Portrait in Rancho Cucamonga

Staff Lifestyle Portrait
What a fun shoot! The fall sun in Rancho Cucamonga was low and bright.  With our staff group’s back to the sun we used 3 flashes into a small umbrella and a 2 stop ND filter to knock down the sunlight brilliance.

You hear the terms “lifestyle” portrait and “environment” portrait when you’re looking for a staff photo with a setting in the workplace, but not using a backdrop. This pose brings energy and an inviting smile to reflect the company. Make your website photos original and fun!

Couple Portrait
Shooting from inside an airplane hangar to capture the Arizona desert behind our subjects  with the blazing sun we used a 2 stop ND filter to bring down the sunlight.  Without this you see only silhouettes of the subjects. The pristine hangar floor yielded a lovely reflection! Great family portraits, both the couple and family (below).

Family Location Portrait

This family was fun to work with. They were up for a multitude of poses. We shot until…no one had an idea left!  The laughter and happiness made this session bubble over!  Talk about a great afternoon in the park.  We used one handheld flash for precision lighting, plus a general flash for fill. A simple set-up with bountiful results.

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.
