John Manning Photography • 28 E. Jackson • Chicago, IL 60604 • tel. 312.399.6342 • jmanningphoto@gmail.comYou can shoot in our downtown studio on Michigan Avenue or, better yet, you can do your shots on location in your offices. Shooting in your offices might make you feel more relaxed, make a better use of your time, and allow us to do working portraits if you choose, capturing the ambiance of your professional environment.
This is especially important in the case of design and architectural firms, where some of their work can be on display in the background of some shots. Some firms have taken great pains and spent considerable expense in creating an attractive and impressive environment. Reflecting this in some of the shots helps make good use of this. In addition to the business headshots and executive portraits, we can do some other shots for pages on your website, annual report, and brochures.
For the traditional executive portrait shots we usually shoot in a conference room, but even a medium-size office also works. We need room to set up two studio lights and a wall on which to tape a studio-paper background.
We do most of these in the studio, but weather and light permitting, we can also shoot them outside as most of the headshot photographers in LA do. But even if we do shoot them inside, we can add your choice of outside or inside backgrounds to your image. We blend this in seamlessly and blur it somewhat to keep it from distracting.
