Springfield, Virginia

Last year, Glenn Fischer asked if I could update the headshots for his insurance agency. He is a member of my BNI group that meets in Springfield, Virginia. For this shoot, he would be using these on advertisements in print and online. With this goal in mind, I hired my friend Nam to assist with hair and makeup.

While it may be true the I prefer the white background for headshots, I did not for this session. Given a choice the consensus among the staff was that black would be better on account of their regular report formats. Despite a change from my normal setup, I am liking this setup! As much as I enjoy post processing, this setup made things faster for the client.

Thanks to Nam for his assistance on this occasion! In fact, having him really saved a lot of time in turning these around. Smooth even skin out of the camera is a gift when you need to work quickly. In print this also worked well seeing that I have spotted these on nice magazine and cheap receipt paper. Finding this on the back of a grocery receipt prompted this post!

Rockville, Maryland

Last month, I photographed the Emmes Corporation 10 year celebration for their office opening in India. From their headquarters in Rockville, MD, the staff went above and beyond to demonstrate the Indian culture. On this occasion, they highlighted the employees that emigrated from India, and all the people that have expanded their business through their work there.

During the day, the floors of their headquarters were decorated in like manner to keep the celebration top of mind. In one room, there was a henna artist producing designs for employees that came by. Later in the afternoon, a yoga teacher that had a peaceful meditation session in a large empty room. In contrast, a Bollywood dance class got the heart rate up after lunch! Finally, you could chill with the sitar musicians playing in a break room. What a colorful day at work!
