These images are from my most recent executive portraiture session for The Law Offices of Donald P. Schweitzer* in Pasadena, CA. I have been doing their business portraiture for going on ten years now. This complete session was conveniently photographed on-location in their suite on Lake Ave.
The group images were photographed using chroma key compositing (frequently called green screen), and this session was actually my first usage of this technology for a group portraiture setting. I choose to photograph using chroma key as it gives both my clients and myself more options for selections of the background and even greater control over how the finished background is “lit.” Not to mention, it is also both easier to transport and much quicker to set up than my 12′ x 20′ painted backgrounds.
Here is one of the final images from the group portrait series.
Here is another take on the executive portrait group photo, although this one was (obviously) just for the fun of it.
In addition to the group portraits, we also did a number of individual portrait sessions. This was being done for one new attorney, two new legal support staff members, and also to update existing personnel. And in the recent years, since I have converted to digital capture, I can now recreate a very near exact background coloring to match a previous session. And while this could also be done using chroma keying, I am currently opting to do it using traditional backgrounds and lighting and then doing the final tweaks of color adjustment to the backgrounds digitally.
Here are two examples of the individual portrait sessions.
And for a comparison of my backgrounds, in spite of a three-year span between sessions, here are a couple of examples from the previous portrait session photographed in 2008.
Included in both of these sessions and all previous sessions with this law firm were the edited images online for review, their choice of selections, a written release for rights of usage, retouching, cropping per their specifications, and optimization for viewing on the web. There is also a high resolution (print quality) file that can be included as needed, depending on your specific business or corporation needs. And, of course, all contracts can be customized to fit your specific needs.
