Glenn Fischer Agency Headshots

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!

Nikolai asked if I could take some graduation photos for him! Being that he has been my go-to assistant for many projects for the last couple of years, I happily made these for him. Prior to his arrival, I had a setup in mind that was at the ready. All of my lighting, and gear was set then mother nature changed things for us! Due to a driving rain, I could not do anything I had planned. Since we are both experienced photographers, we made changes quickly. For this reason, we headed to the forest!

Thankfully, the rain did let up a little. Under the thick leaf coverage of the park, we were somewhat protected. In spite of the rain, I still brought along a large flash outside. It was worth it to get high quality photos of Nikolai in his cap and gown. Although we are not family, I was very proud of his accomplishment. In light of how hard he works both at school, and at his part-time photography, I was amazed at his academic record! He will unquestionably will be successful as he has been in most endeavors so far. Hopefully he’ll take some time to reflect and celebrate it how much he has done already before shooting off to the next level. Congratulations, Nikolai!

2017 January Headshots

As long as I have been making portraits, new year means new inquiries! 2017 January headshots requests are coming in like a needed resolution. Compared to most of my assignments, this the most different. For the most part, many of my subjects do not know that I am there. In other words, being quiet and non-distracting is a goal while I am working. This is surely not the case with headshots.

Although I am currently working on headshots, I am posting these sessions from last year. In general, I have a setup that I like to use that makes headshots flexible for lots of uses. As can be seen in these examples, I photograph you in front of a white seamless background. By and large this will work for most cases since you can easily remove the background.

Similarly, all of these examples are mobile lighting setups. If it is more convenient for your staff, I can bring my setup to where you are to get all the photos in one setting. Moreover, I find that some are more comfortable in their work space already, so it shows in their portraits! I’ll post soon with other examples from the studio for comparison. Happy new year!
