Branding portraits for a tech CEO

In a little less than an hour, I photographed this CEO in 7 different places with four different lighting setups including up to 3 flash units.

Seattle Business Headshots and Portraits

Another smart thing she did was to choose a beautiful office space that will be a pleasure for her and her clients to spend time in.
