Location Photo Shoot

May 29, 2008

Corporate photography is often about creating custom photography for a company on-site.  With an entire studio set-up cleverly packed into several photo cases (with wheels!), a photographer and at least one assistant arrives at the company’s location and hopefully is given a room or other space which is uncluttered and large enough for the set-up.

Here’s my assistant Therese Ryan in various stages of tweaking the light set-up we just put together during a midtown New York City corporate photography shoot yesterday–

Everything tweaked, here’s Therese ready to pose for a test shot–

The result, portrait of an actual photo subject from the shoot–

What a great business, photographing people.  Every person, every face unique.  To make everybody you photograph look their best is a challenge both artistically and technically, but very rewarding for both photographer and subject.

    Great post. Love seeing the Canon 70-200mm lens being used for business photography. It’s one of the sharpest, most versatile lenses I’ve ever used.

    I like your simple lighting set-up. Do you use this lighting scheme a lot, or is it conditional based on your clients needs? DO you normally use a large backdrop or seamless for groups?
