Corporate Head shot

Corporate Head shot, originally uploaded by www.ian.ca.

Just another day at the office.
this is a standard setup which belies the efforts made.:
-Raise all the blinds, tape up the string and handles
-find an angle where you can light flatteringly whilst avoiding reflections.
-balance flash to ambient to ensure detail outside.
-engage subject in rapport to set them at ease, while encouraging client to check laptop for results, while on a ladder.
-work both horizontal and vertical view of same shot. hopefully getting same smile in both.
-keep it brief, they have to do some real work.
-pack up and get outta the way pronto.
