One Portrait - The Setup
Friday, February 15, 2008 On a regular basis we get called in to do a standard portrait series for senior management (and sometimes the entire staff) and this is how we do it. Concept/Objective:
The objective is to always produce a well lit, flattering portrait of the subject where the subject is separated from the background and the lighting doesn’t take away from the person being photographed.

The assignment was to photograph the head of information technology for the government, for a healthcare magazine. The objective was to make an image which showed him confident and we didn’t know where we might be able to make the image going in.
This home-based business-owner wanted both headshots and full length shots of himself that he could use for marketing and on his website.
This assignment was for a major marking campaign for the trade association that represented the company this woman worked for.
The objective of this assignment was to produce an attractive environmental portrait of the subject who rose to fame as the result of his revelations regarding a Capitol Hill scandal. The subject specifically stated before the assignment that he would not pose with a laptop or computer (which was the mechanism by which he rose to fame) which severely limited any conceptual ideas.
