Business portraits and headshots make up a huge part of my business. A lot of times places will want this more casual, modern style of business portrait, but will be asking for headshots because that is the term they know. In photographer’s circles this isn’t really considered a headshot because there is much more to it than just the head and shoulders, but how would a client know to call it something different? I have heard these call cinematic style or bokeh style, but whatever it is, I have been doing it for my clients for years. I will go to a business office and create really nice portraits of a bunch of people all in one day. Here is a set I did for a biotech firm in Seattle. All of these images were either taken in the lobby of their building or within a few blocks of walking. For this shoot, I created portraits of around 35 of their employees in one day.
Read MoreI really love creating portraits of people. When I create marketing portraits for businesses, I try to help my subjects relax so they can have their natural, friendly smile. Appearing warm, real, and relaxed helps to make them look like people you would want to work with. Check out these business portraits and headshots I did for Graham Construction last week. They will be using these in the proposals and bids as well as for press releases, website, and other marketing.
Read MoreI went down to the headquarters of Abbott Construction in Seattle to create new executive portraits of their CEO, Troy. They have a great office to work with. Over the course of the hour I was with Troy, we did several different settings including some studio headshots to give him a variety of images to work with. We varied from fully buttoned up to business casual so that he would be able to use the images for different purposes. I was quite please with this set of images.
