Client: Goldenpass LNG
Assignment: Capture "studio looking" headshots of their VP/executives, as well as some environmental portraits of GoldenPass employees within their work space within their corporate offices in downtown Houston, TX.
Coverage: Full on location photography (up to 6 hours)
After I got all equipment up to their floor level, we scouted for the ideal area to set up my "pop up" portable background and studio lighting. I typically suggest we begin with these images first, as it provides a simpler assignment to achieve for each of the subjects and myself. This provides a few moments for the photographer and each subject individually to get acquainted within these few minutes during the photoshoot, allowing for a higher success rate if they are then involved in the environmental marketing photography later on in the assignment.
One of my popular areas for on location photography studio setup is a kitchen or kitchenette if the boardroom is in use or houses a table too large to move for the needed space.
(I always find this amusing; what office employee doesn't visit the kitchen at least once throughout the day, which always quickly gets the "buzz" of the photographer being in house moving quickly down the hallways!)
This on location headshot approach allows for the highest possible efficiency for the business workplace. Each employee is only away from their daily tasks for no longer than 15 minutes.

A group of up to 40 could be professionally photographed within a few hours, never leaving the office or missing important meetings.
The second portion of my time spent on location was dedicated to the environmental portraits of employees within their workspace. These highly flexible images are able to be used in a variety of ways, whether in print within brochures, annual reports, online website areas with testimonials, or for business opportunities offered. There are both internal marketing uses as well as external.
After using three of our six hours of coverage for the VP/executive portraits, we moved onto the next set, jumping in and out of several offices throughout their floor, as well as popping into the conference room to stage a few images there. It was all in all another highly successful marketing photoshoot!
