Headshot Session in Fall for Christen

by | Nov 12, 2019 | Blog, Client Work, Headshot

Updated executive headshots for Christen at our studio in northwest of downtown Portland, Oregon.

We used the large south facing windows as our light source. The natural light provides the same effect as a 7ft parabolic umbrella modifier for strobe flash but is more gentle and the client can move around the space more freely allowing for us to use multiple backgrounds quickly.

Christen use our Classic Session, which includes 3 image selections from the proof gallery, and added an additional image selection for a total of four new headshots.

Really enjoying the light in studio during these cold fall days!

Reviewers and Participants

“EXPLORING CONNECTION THROUGH MUSIC. Western culture has relegated live music to formal concert halls and late-nights in frenetic, crowded venues. In settings like these, it’s easy to disregard the profound impact that can be had when music is used as conduit of connection and presence.

We are changing that paradigm.

Connections Concerts put community and care into the forefront of the live music experience.

Based on values of deep listening, respect, vulnerability, and inspiration, our concerts are designed to welcome audience members to an intentionally-curated space for music and conversation.

Connections Concerts are an answer to a plea for togetherness and unity. An opportunity for presence and pleasure, and an invitation for a societal shift toward love, respect, and inclusivity.” —Website
