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.
