Client #00001
These professional images were taken at Edgewater Park, where Theresa’s confidence and personality were showcased against the breathtaking backdrop of Lake Erie and the Cleveland skyline.
I was super thankful for the opportunity one of my colleagues presented to me to my first official client (hence the post's title). Theresa was unique in that she was familiar with the photo process. She came prepared with ideas and presented me with a mood board with specific keywords/phrases that informed my creative process.
We lucked out on a beautiful evening at Edgewater Park in Cleveland, beating out the thunderstorm that would come 10 minutes after our session. I used a mixture of natural light and a single strobe to evenly light her. My goal was to make sure I got the eyelights.
My post-production process was very minimal. I slightly changed the exposure and colors to make the image light and airy. I also wanted her photos to feel warm and inviting while showcasing her professionalism. I used a few masks (subject, background, and gradient) to highlight a few features in her shots.
The biggest compliment I can pay to Theresa is her fearlessness. She is consistently networking with folks in our office and building relationships. I hope that these new headshots serve her well as she continues her career in marketing.
