The Brief
Portraits of the CEO in the office in the Leadenhall Building, also known as the cheesegrater. A couple of different lighting setups are needed because, being the CEO of an international company, he only has a small window of time to capture the images. A hair and makeup artist was also requested.
The Process
I arrived an hour or two before the CEO was due to arrive for the shoot, in order to get set up and ready. My client and I walked around the office and decided where we would take the different images, so that we had a robust plan in place in order to not waste any of the CEO’s time. I brought along a hair and makeup artist, who did some light work on his face and neck, and she also acted as another pair of eyes to ensure his outfit looked perfect. Following the shoot, the client chose 9 images from their private online proofing gallery and those images were retouched and you can see them below.
Final Results
The client was very happy with the process of the shoot itself, and was delighted with the resulting images. One of the images is now used on the CEO’s bio page on the global website.
