Ever wonder what it looks like on the other side?

Lawyer Headshots

Shooting on site at a law firm, my friend and assistant  Ben James took a photo of me taking a photo.

Thought I’d share what the result of that painful position for my back brought about!  This image was shot with one key light.

How to take a great business portrait

Corporate Headshots:

Recently I’ve fallen in love with the grid.

The images below are shot with one grid placed behind the subject to create a gradient, and a key light placed either directly above the head or slightly off to one side.

Depending on how severe I want the gradient to be, I measure the gradient light at either 1/2 or 1 stop brighter than the key light.  I sometimes use a 1:1 ratio as well.

If need be, I soften shadows on the subject’s face with a white reflector.

Below is an image of Gwen Dophna, shot with butterfly lighting and a grid placed behind her.

Instructor Portraits

Dr. Moshe Wilker needed a hair light (in this case placed directly behind him), to separate his dark hair from the dark background.

In this image, the grid is one stop brighter than the key light on a white backdrop, creating a gradient from white to gray.
