Corporate Head Shots, Boston Bankers

The financial community in Boston always needs a clean head shot, I do loads of these. Sometimes they have a specific request such as a colored back drop, or I bring my own. We're always set up and ready to go before our subject arrives-
The most common usage for this kind of photography is either for the Web or press release use.

Babson College Student Photography


I've been working for Babson College in Babson Park, MA for a number of years. Recently we did a shoot of international students, and were lucky enough to use this gigantic globe at Babson as a prop. Educational photography is a nice break from corporate work, your subjects are younger, but even harder to schedule! Email seems to be the only way to reach college kids....

Harvard Business School Photography


I shoot for a variety of educational clients in the new England area, among them is the Harvard Business School in Cambridge. The campus at Harvard is very pretty in the Spring and Summer, so we make every effort to have professors outside whenever possible.
Harvard likes their people to look natural and approachable. As a result I try to use lighting that enhances the existing natural light. Using this approach you can move your subjects around a bit, and capture several 'looks'.

Boston Hospital Health Care Shoot

Here's a sample from a recent New England area hospital shoot where we shot various nursing caregivers in a variety of situations. In a typical day we might shoot six health care professionals, depending on who they are and their schedule.Hospitals always want to show off the latest technology, so we have her in front of a Phillips MRI machine. Working as a health care photographer in Boston, I've determined the go-to person in a hospital is the head nurse. Never make work for the head nurse!
