Who says professional portraits/headshots have to be boring? Sometimes, it’s good to kick the whole grey-suite-against-a-white-background model to the curb and get more creative! Lucas and I had a 1-hour session around the financial district to take updated headshot photos of him that will appear on the staff page on the website of the company he works for, where we captured interesting environmental backdrops to add some NYC flavor to the traditional executive portrait.

All images in this blog post were shot on a Nikon D750, using an AF-S Nikkor 70-300mm f/3.5-5.6 G series lens, and individually post-processed in Adobe Lightroom using my own custom presets.
