People Photographer Chicago | Successful corporate portrait photography sometimes requires pre-planning in order to get great digital image captures. How a business professional dresses is very important for a portrait sitting. Business attire that is tailored says a lot about the person. The color of a guy’s tie or the color of a woman’s dress, say something from a psychological point of view. By wearing red you are implying that you mean business. Blue conveys trust, stability and confidence. Green is about practicality, reliability and implies being down to Earth. Business headshot photography is valuable asset for any professional to be noticed and respected.

Corporate People Photographer | When doing a photo shoot for clients they ask what should I wear for my professional portrait session. I recommend comfortable fitting clothes that are solid in color, pastel and or simple in design. The idea is to dress for success but not have the fashion of your clothes overpower your face. As one of the Chicago corporate portrait photographers here in Chicago, I know that business peoples’ time is valuable, so being efficient in the preparation is a must.. Corporate people photographers need to help business professionals and entrepreneurs elevate their stature pictorially through the universal language of photography. My goal is to promote a supportive environment so subjects feel relaxed and they know they are well looked after.

Chicago Executive Portrait Headshot Photographers | As a corporate people photographer, business clients often ask how many photos do you take during a corporate photography session. There is no limit on how many photos will be taken for photo shoot for corporate headshots, just the amount of images that are required. Some people warm to the camera quickly and other business professionals need more time to relax and so we are happy accommodate them during their corporate portraits. As a Chicago corporate portrait photographer I love helping people achieve their greatness by empowering them in conversation and capturing great images. As a professional photographer I have photographed business professionals in the photographic studio. I also set up lighting and sometimes backgrounds on location in businessman’s office, conference room or just utilizing the office environment. My forte is photographing execs on location for industry, in boardrooms and other places of business. I bring in my own camera gear when taking photos and on occasion I will shoot with available light, depending on the lighting conditions at a location and or if there is a time limit to complete the photography.
