Corporate Portrait Photography

The great master Henri Cartier Bresson said: “Photography is the simultaneous recognition of the significance of an event and the precise organization of forms which give that event its proper expression.”

Hence, it is the visual organization, solely guided by the eyes of the photographer, which implies the recognition of a rhythm in the perceived subject. The camera simply registers the pivotal composition, a result of the simultaneous coalition and organic coordination of elements made by the eye. Regardless of whether one is photographing people along travels in other countries, or within a corporate portrait photography setting.

It is said the eyes of a person are the windows to the soul…and that the true portrait reflects the personality. Members of the corporate community oftentimes are concerned how they will look in a portrait photo and almost everybody asks me to make them look better. While I strive to accomplish that, I am also a big believer in people looking their best when they are relaxed and naturally comfortable. When creating portraits, or corporate headshots my main objective is to make you feel comfortable and trust me with conveying your best look.

It is in the split second where the individual who’s portrait photo I am creating and I need to communicate non-verbally. Essentially I somehow am finding a way to enter the person’s interior, so that she or he willingly reveals their truth and reality, in an instant of a second. My aim is to feel and convey their heartbeat and energy and to convey that in the photo…

When prompted with scenes, subjects or events, with or without people, it comes down to the photographer’s capacity to be connected to the element, present discerning, sorting… to perceive reality and capture a geometry awakened by what’s offered, in a fraction of a second. And whether it is an executive corporate portrait, or other related corporate setting or event, the skill set requires an ability to speak with the heart while maintaining a professional and exquisite amount of focus, feeling, and vision.

There are countless ways to distill the essence of someone that captivates us and calls for our attention…
