Maxus Global
I have been shooting staff portraits at Maxus Global again. We shoot everyone in the company for their website, PR and pitching purposes. There are some fairly strict style guidelines for the photography so we have a locked-off lighting set specifically designed for them, that we revisit each time we shoot with them. Each person is photographed on a pure white infinity curved scoop. We shoot head and shoulder and full length portraits. Being surrounded by five flashlights, diffusion panels and reflectors is hardly the ideal recipe for relaxed and natural portraits but we make it fun with lots of chat to help people shine (Their personality, that is, not their skin or bald spots…. we have powder for that!). It works, whether it’s the receptionist or the CEO. To us they’re all individuals and we want to get the most flattering shots we can.
