Social Media Piedmont Park
Just to show what we can accomplish in a couple of hours at Piedmont Park.
Medical field, personal and company website
The headshot in the jacket was for a company website which required the blue background. So I included both in delivery as a courtesy. The table shot was for a personal/business website. The reason for the alternate background there was to match the hue of the dress. I'm not a big fan of prints because I love faces and see prints as a competition to my subject's most important feature. So shifting the background to the same teal hue as the dress seemed like a way to help bring focus to her face. Since the gray is what we shot on, why not include that in the order? Of late I've been adding a bit of texture to my studio background shots. "Moire" and "banding" is becoming more and more of an issue on social media sites. Having some texture helps mitigate that. But even more than that, I love the look.

This shot is sort of my Moby Dick in that it is elusive. Weather conditions, subject's height, time of day, how windy it is, time of year etc... If you're interested in this shot it's unavoidable, to get the Midtown Skyline prominent in the background, to avoid being shot up at. That is me being at your waist level while I shoot. But the lake is great too and you can see some of the skyline in the lake depending on the conditions.
Legare, Attwood, and Wolfe were looking to update thier headshots to something more contemporary that wasn't a plain gray background. They are located in the city of Decatur. Easy walking distance to the old Decatur City Courthouse. On set with me that day were make-up and hair artists extraordinaires Faith Brooks and David Hamblen who also did onset grooming. It's always going to be a great day with David and Faith on set!
