MY CORPORATE PHOTOGRAPHY (1st attempt)

for my corporate photography, my friend who is a nurse and also a member of the Territorial Army agreed to have some pictures taken in a corporate style. the images where taken in the studio and for most of them i only used a single light but for a few of the head shots i did you two studio lights . all editing took place in lightroom and text was added in photoshop.

fig.1 and fig.2 - with these i wanted to try and create a poster style image. figure 1 was the initial image which was turned to black and white in lightroom i then imported to to photoshop cropped it slightly and added text.

fig.2

fig.3,4,5 & 6- the idea behind these images was to not really have a face in the picture or to have the face clearly in focus. this was so that on seeing the images you didn't automatically associated it with anyone in particular. i believe that a portrait doesn't always have to be of the persons face and company/person can be portrayed in other ways to.

fig. 7,8 and 9 - these images are just straight forward portraits fig.7 was created using two studio lights the front one at 45/45 and one at the back which lit the back and side of the face although i think the light is probably a little stronger than needed it does create more depth that just the one light the effects of this can be seen in image 8.

i also included image 9 as i like the expression on the models face and think this would of worked quite well had the flash gone of during the photoshoot.

fig.10

for this image 11 i wanted to try and create a cross over between the models occupations and show both sides of what she does i did a few other images similar to this but felt it didn't really work as well as i had hoped.

fig.11

as previously mentioned my model is also a nurse full time and these last two images are corporate style portraits. wanted the pictures to look quite light and bright and her to appear warm and friendly.
