Business Portraits and
Corporate Headshots
- Business portraits can be categorized in three basically different genres?
Boardroom & Institutional Portraits:
Conceived with the idea of commemorating the achievements of a company founder whose legacy, is acknowledged and displayed in the Foyer or boardroom. This portrait session will salute the driving force who has sustained the business or corporation through subsequent generations.
Executive Portraits:
Being well aware of the value of executive's time, we will plan and set up for his\her portrait session, so that once the set up is ready, your executive can enter and be captured digitally and quickly to the highest aesthetic and technical standards and as quickly as possible get back to running the business.
Headshots:
The staple of the corporate world, as well for medical professionals, accountants and salespeople, from a variety of industries, the headshot generally has less then 15 seconds to create an impression. It is so important that it should stand out from the myriad of mediocre mugshots that proliferate on LinkedIn these days.
David offers offers Corporate portrait photography services to business executives & professionals in insurance, legal, education, finance, manufacturing, medical and real estate businesses.
