Earlier this year, I volunteered some time to photograph the 2020 MWOY Candidates for the National Capital Area Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. In similar fashion to last year, I planned on bringing a mobile lighting setup to their venue. On this occasion, it was at the KPMG offices in downtown Washington, DC.

Overall this was an easy setup considering I have not been to this location previously. Above all, I want to thank the LLS team for their help in loading in the gear. Following the load in, setting up three flashes in the conference room was easy. While there, I was able to make photos of all the candidates there for the kick off.

2020 MWOY Candidates

The Man and Woman of the Year Candidates are embarking on a philanthropic competition to support blood cancer research. Indeed, I have contributed to their mission by making these headshots. When they have their gala dinner to announce the winner of the competition, they display these portraits throughout the venue.

Washington, DC

Stemming from a referral from another photographer, I covered the Carahsoft 2019 Gov Con in Washington, DC. On this occasion, their event was held at the Grand Hyatt, a hotel fitting of the name. Attendees would be in the conference center, attending lectures and breakout sessions during the day. For the most part, I would be outside of these sessions creating headshots at a step and repeat.

Since the booth was a little slow on traffic at the beginning of the day, I went into the conference center to see the opening remarks. Of course, I am familiar with so many of the Adobe products, and these attendees would be discussing their newest tools for government agencies.

For the most part, I was outside at the step and repeat. The background was branded for carahsoft, and Adobe the two sponsors for the event. When people would come by, I offered them an updated headshot. Not only was this a little out of my comfort zone, but it is immediately broke the ice. The subsequent quick headshot session was much less awkward to go through comparatively! As I warmed up to the situation, I had a nice long line of people that wanted to get new portraits made. I ended up having a great time, and I hope I made a good impression for carahsoft and their guests!

2018 Emmes Headshots

2018 Emmes Headshots

Rockville, Maryland

Last year, I updated some portraits at a 2018 Emmes Headshots session at their Rockville, Maryland office. At this time, they were looking to have some new portraits of some high-performing employees for an upcoming meeting. Although I had a full mobile lighting setup with me, I also brought a hair and makeup artist with me. For the most part, everyone was camera-ready when we met, but a stylist can really make the post processing much faster by smoothing skin with some touch ups.

For headshots, the first thing to remember to keep the face the focus of the image. With this in mind, I needed to work with the client request to have their offices as the background. Luckily, they had a lot of nice candidates for backgrounds when I scouted areas in their building. In the first place, I wanted to find a spot with a clean seamless background. One hallway ended in a nice wall painted a dark blue gray. Overall, it worked nicely for a clean background without any distractions.

The other place I set up the light was in front of a frosted glass conference room wall. Not only was this set specifically in their office, but balancing it with a flash still put the focus on the face. I hope Emmes found these useful, and I thank my wife for the referral!
