Chroma green portraits with the Merlin Law Group

Tampa attorney portraits – The Merlin Law Group is a firm of property insurance lawyers. They represent clients when insurance companies deny, delay, or underpay property insurance claims. With offices in Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, Red Bank, Tampa, and West Palm Beach they serve clients from coast to coast.

Everyone from the Merlin group was gathered for an annual retreat in Sarasota. So, they contacted me to shoot business portraits of the forty attorneys from their nine offices. The marketing team requested I shoot each person against a green screen. Later we would replace the backgrounds with a cityscape of each attorney’s home office.

I got to the Hyatt in Sarasota early and set up the large green screen and lighting in a conference room that was reserved for the pictures. Everyone jumped in for their shots between meetings and in the end we shot forty two headshots as well as a few group portraits. The team at Merlin was great to work with and we got some great portraits. After the session was done it was time to head home and put the backgrounds in place.

In the end the shots came out great and we were able to create some unique images!

Portraits for EY’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award

Ernst and Young is a multinational professional services firm headquartered in London, United Kingdom. Each year they give regional and national business owners and CEOs The Entrepreneur of the Year Award to honor those who have founded and built some of the worlds most enduring companies.

We were contacted by Ernst & Young to photograph the CEO of Cott Beverages, Jerry Fowden. Mr. Fowden had been awarded The Entrepreneur of the Year. Therefore EY needed a few environmental portraits that would showcase Cott’s unique headquarters in Tampa. So, my assistant and I showed up early to scout a few locations for the portraits. Finally we set up lighting and took a few test shots to keep things moving quickly for our CEO portraits. In the end Jerry was very generous with his time and we were able to get some great shots of him for Ernst & Young.

Headshots with the Duke Energy team in St. Petersburg

Duke Energy, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina is one of the largest electric power holding companies in the United States and has provided power to the Sunshine State for decades.

Corporate headshots St. Petersburg, FL – Duke Energy was holding a one day conference at their downtown St. Petersburg corporate office. So, they reached out to have new business headshots taken of their attendees.

We set up lighting and a backdrop in a conference room nearby to where they had workshops planned throughout the day. As a result we were able to shoot everyone’s portraits between the sessions. Everyone was able to choose their favorite shots onsite with the tethered laptop for instant review of the portraits. We shot for most of the day capturing about 50 head shots in total.
