I was recently commissioned to provide an Ottawa-based media consulting firm with headshots for their staff. I had worked with Mediastyle before, and I was pleasantly surprised when they offered me no direction on how they wanted their portraits to look. IE: I had complete control. A dream!
Of course there were still limitations,it was all in one day, so Lee and I had to get in and figure out several setups on the spot (though I had scouting images from before in preparation so we had a good idea of how it was going to go down). I was also shooting interiors for their new office (a pano you can see over on Flickr), and a good interior shoot will take me 2-4 hours depending on the space.
An Interior shoot, two portrait styles, for ~7 people, and a few wardrobe changes. It was a great day though, and I think everyone there really rocked their shots.
If you want to see them individually, bigger, I have them up on Flickr too With lighting setup info (if that sort of thing interests you).
Great crop of portraits…wow, that sounds like a very tight timeline. Did you suggest what kind of clothing to bring, or was it up to the client?
