Corporate portraiture is often treated as a problem of logistics — book the talent, light the space, deliver the images. That approach produces reliable results and forgettable photographs.
What interests me is the other thing: the photograph that makes a viewer understand something about the subject that the subject could not have communicated in words.
Authority does not shout. It inhabits a room quietly, settles into the geometry of a posture. The challenge of corporate portraiture is to find the silence inside the professional performance.
This session ran forty minutes over schedule because we spent the first fifty achieving the quality of silence the frame required.
