2017 Maryland Headshots

2017 Maryland Headshots

Studio Session

Earlier this year, I brought my lighting kit to Studio Arto for a 2017 Maryland Headshots session with some clients. From time to time it is inconvenient for clients to come to Virginia for their studio sessions. So as to accommodate, I found this Studio in Rockville, MD that worked nicely! Although I have my own set, this studio included the lights in the rental fee.

At this time, I had to familiarize myself with the set up in the studio. Prior to my current brand of lights, I had the same Hensel lights that they had set up in the studio. With one light hanging from the ceiling, it was easy to change the background as can be seen in the photos. Comparatively, you can have the gray wall above, or the white below depending on what look you are going for. On one hand, the middle gray can be a little ‘warmer’ looking. But the white background is very clean, and easy to cut out the background if you would like the transparency to use in graphic design documents.

For this post, I wanted to revisit some 2016 Headshots that were all done with a mobile lighting setup. If coming to the studio is not convenient for you or your staff, it is equally possible for me to bring the lighting on location. As an illustration, both of these sessions were done with a mobile lighting setup.

Joe Mjelde is the owner of the Edward Jones Investments office in Burke, VA. When he needed some images to accompany an article on his services, he hired me to get photos in his newly renovated office. Since it was very clean in his office, I incorporated the environment in the images.

Similarly to Joe’s session, I photographed Lakshmi and Ted in a conference room. On this occasion, I was a keynote speaker at a networking group. For my talk, I wanted to do a live demonstration for the purpose of showing my mobile capabilities. Both work nicely to me! Having a clean white background really makes images pop out of white backgrounds as seen here:

Tysons, Virginia

Coming across clients on social media jogged my memory for these 2016 studio headshots. For these examples, I photographed in the studio. Compared to on-location setups, there are some advantages to doing it this way. Firstly, I have time to set the lighting beforehand. This will save time in how long you need to be at the studio. Secondly, a studio shoot allows for tethering the camera to the computer. Specifically, the images will immediately available to view on a nice large laptop screen, or TV monitor.

For this headshot, it was helpful to review the photos on a large TV monitor. Accordingly, you can review your facial expression, wardrobe, and how they look on a chosen background. With attention to the background a clean white seamless is very easy to work with after the shoot. In this case, the realty office has a certain corporate background that the headshot will be placed. With this in mind, it was important to get a background that would be easy for them to cut out later.

Darker Background Headshots

For Dr. AK here, I gave him a choice of a lighter or darker background. In contrast to the white, these seem to have a more specular quality to them. However, both styles I think are very professional and will do the job of elevating your branding with a professional portrait.
