Professional Headshot for Businesswomen in Clearwater Florida on location

in ,

This morning I returned to a Clearwater business office to finish making headshots of the entire staff.  I photographed a majority of the staff in August, as seen here.  Having shot on this location before and having taken detailed notes, I was able to setup very quickly and produce a consistent business headshot like I had two months earlier.  The staff were again great to work with, which makes shooting a headshot much smoother.  

I used my same two strobe setup, a SB-600 @ 1/8th power with diffuser cap pointed at the portable background and a SB-800 @ 1/4 power in a 43" brolly to subject's left with camera settings of f/7.1 ISO 200 & 1/100th shutter speed on my Nikon D300 with Nikkor AF ED 80-20mm f/2.8D lens.

Professional business headshots are available to be made right in your office, home or in my St. Petersburg home studio.  The headshots are available for individuals or an entire business staff.

Commercial Duvet Bedding Blanket Pillow Photography St. Petersburg Florida

Commercial bedding photography done in client's Clearwater home - Nikon D300 Tamron 17-50mm @ f/8 ISO 200 1 sec tripod mounted - Strobist: Nikon SB-800 @ 1/4 power in 43" brolly in foreground SB-600 @ 1/16th power in 43" shoot through umbrella background (window light in left background)Shooting on location (this time a residential Clearwater home) always presents unique challenges, as of course no two locations are exactly alike.  Shooting large objects on location can be especially challenging, especially so when they are in a small space.  My challenge with this commercial duvet, pillow & bedding shoot was to make the final images not look like they were merely taken within the client's own bedroom per se.  Using some set decoration (statue, clock, plant) and turning the negative of having a bright window behind the bed into a feature of the shot, was how I attempted to be as creative as possible within the bedroom location.
