Our corporate portraits are often taken with studio lighting for a more formal look.
I thought this would be a great way to show the difference between headshots in a studio vs. on location.
Even though both these images were taken with studio lighting, one was taken at my home studio with a backdrop, and the other, on location, incorporating the existing background for a more casual look.
Executive Studio Headshot/Executive Headshot on Location
I am often approached to shoot executive portraits. This month I had the privilege of going to beautiful Santa Monica, and taking a number of headshots for a company called Coda Automotive.
Even though we used studio lighting, I was able to utilize their location to bring in some color and texture into the backgroud rather than using a simple backdrop. You wouldn’t know it, but these two powerful executives are quite the characters!
Recently I was approached by Karen and Debra to take their corporate headshots. They are both defense attorneys starting to work together and combining forces, so to speak. I love being asked to photograph the “real thing” every once in a while even though photographing non actors can sometimes be a challenge. Most people aren’t used to having their pictures taken professionally. Actors are used to “acting” like lawyers in front of the camera but getting lawyers not to act and just be…well that can be tricky! Our objective here was to convey a sense of strength for these gals. I think these two strong women did a great job of combining warmth with a sense of “don’t mess with me”!
