210 Headshots in 30 Seconds

Photography assignments are a full gamut of what some will consider glamorous jobs. Moreover, other times routine, but still fun.

As a business portrait photographer in Rhode Island, I was awarded an assignment to photograph over 200 participant's headshots at an event located in Providence. The client liked the idea of setting up outside, only spending a few minutes on each subject and keeping it simple. We setup under a building overhang to protect ourselves from the rain that occurred throughout the day. Blurred out the background and created professional business portraits to be used for the associate's website and the individual's LinkedIn page.

As a corporate location photographer in New England, I have learned to deal with unpredictable weather, while using all the available tools. Including situations like using the building overhang, taking advantage of window light for inside portraits, given very short time span to work with a subject and creating an entire studio at someone's office.
