Today I took proper portraits for the same company I’ve produced photos for many times in the past year. I build a studio in my livingroom and planned everything pretty darn well so the shoot ran smoothly.
I first took those super boring plain personnel shots that are needed but nobody likes, which I can’t even be bothered to share, before I got to show my own style a bit. I think I did alright with these ones by going with moodier lighting and heavier prosessing.
The CEO was really not having a good time being in front of the camera and posing people is not my strong suit. We did have a good laugh and I tried my best but he was so not impressed. I told him to trust me and not judge the raw photos. It sucks if people hate the way they look on your photos, so I went the extra mile for him on this photo. I think he has kind of a Daniel Graig as James Bond look to him so I gave him a nice silvery black and white edit. In the end, he seemed pretty happy with it, probably pleasantly surprised. I did just score myself two more shoots for them so can’t be that bad.
