Casual. Approachable. Lifestyle. Headshots.
These were the three words I remember thinking when talking with my client at their Seattle offices for their new headshots look for their company.
“Can you make our people look like ‘this’,” said Alliant’s West Coast Marketing Director to me in a preliminary meeting for their new corporate headshots. She and her creative team lead were showing me their favorite samples of lifestyle-like portraits from a Google and Pinterest search. What I remember most is how similar the style was to how I like to photograph my high school pictures clientele (i.e. very relaxed, warm, fun), always completed outdoors. When they posed the question to me I provided an exciting ‘thumbs up’ that I could deliver upon their request!
Over the following month I worked on-site at their downtown Seattle offices on three occasions to photograph nearly 50 of their staff, administration and executives, including their CEO, who was the inspiration behind this fresh style of business portraits. Each professional was photographed in at least two different poses, standing and sitting with some variety in background at my discretion. All of their new headshots were completed around a large city block radius outdoors with Seattle fall lighting and my discretion of background. What a great time working with Alliant!
