EP 2

Quick little job I had to do this week.

A simple plain background would have suited the "corporate image" better. Or if it were posssible, shoot at the person's environment to make them at ease: he's got a bit of a fake smile.

I agree that he does not have a great smile. But we work with the client the best we can. Corporate portraits are done on a very tight schedule and I did mention his smile to him, which he ignored.

 

The backdrop was exactly what the client needed. They are engineers and they do not have the big 1950s style oak desk and bookshelf. The colors of the brochures and materials are pumkin and brown-- hence we went with a masters style backdrop to compliment the material.

 

We WILL probably tone down the background with some selective dodging for the final product to match some of the other portraits.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

Surely not what you were expecting, but I'd love to see a larger version of the photo above! :o) Can you ad it to your portfolio? :o)
