Executive Portraits

I've been busy lately doing some work for The Family Center, a nonprofit providing the Grosse Pointes and Harper Woods with many programs for families. This project was an executive portrait sesion with the founder of the nonprofit and the new executive director. Shot on location with simple lighting and not much time for fancy stuff, it worked out well, especially on the cold and dark and misty morning we had.


I always like to do one setup and get the "expected" photo out of the way, then I move "out of the box" and do another setup somewhere else that is a little more informal. In this case, limited time and space enabled me to concentrate on getting the work accomplished. We all worked well together, and the result is a nice portrait that not only is well-lit but also reveals their personalities.
