Artist Portraits - Tattoo Artist - Inkseeker - The Process

Part 2: The Process

Eric needed a library of portraits for press, website, and social media. He is moving to a popular studio in NYC and needs a lot of imagery to share, which ranges from personal to promotional. 

Eric's art blends the old and the new, a modern interpretation of ancient art and techniques, so I knew I wanted to do a mix of medium format and 35mm film with digital to give his portraits some range and authenticity, honoring his perspective of welcoming the past and present.

Image Library and Portraits For A Consulting Company’s New Website & Social Launch

For this shoot, the team was only together for a day, with team members arriving in the morning and leaving later in the evening, so preparation and efficiency we key factors. We worked with their London-based agency to scout locations in advance, providing photoshoot location options and site visits to confirm the locations would be suitable for the photos needed. We discussed the look and feel of the images, and I designed lighting plans to capture the professional but natural feel to the photos that they wanted across multiple locations and spaces without having to rely only on the natural lighting..

Corporate Portraits and Marketing Photos For App Company - Scalebay

The majority of my Corporate Portrait and Executive Portrait clients come to me with some version of: “I need good professional photos for my brand/company, and I don’t want them to look boring and ‘too corporate.”

My process is to ask questions and understand what that means to you. What are you known for? How do you want people to feel about your photos?

How much can we accomplish in a half day in your office?

There’s no avoiding the fact that in today’s business climate, you have to communicate clearly and effectively at a breakneck pace.

So many clients feel stuck, not liking their current photos, but they need to share something. They are constantly searching for a different edit or a different look and are still not excited about the quality of the imagery they’re sharing. Or worse, they just turned to AI and pray it spits out something that works.

There’s a better way!

Portrait Experiments In Silhouette

That obsession was how powerful a silhouette can be in a photo. I was enamored with the idea that it could be aesthetically, beautiful, but also very personal. It struck me that you could identify these individuals quickly with nothing but their silhouette if you knew them, and it really sparked the idea of storytelling within portraiture, and playing with absence, and of course, shadow, because if you know me, you know, I love a good dark shadow.

Experimental Portraits - Agustín

My session with Agustín is another example of having very cool model friends who are willing to be creative together in a photo session. Many of these photos were shot in the aftermath of the COVID restrictions here in Madrid, and the mood of post-quarantine, and all of the emotional effects of that time in our lives, subconsciously came through in our imagery together.
