Summary :  Photographing people from a commercial point of view needs to express purpose. Questions need to be answered based on the type of business and where the pictures will be placed. Does the company want to portray a formal or casual look or maybe both. For example, a formal look for their website and a more casual look for social media. Expressing the character of the company is as vital as capturing the character of the person.

Olson Windows, Doors, Siding and Roofing (Pictures 1 – 11):   Headshots: A clean look/feel was my intent with the black background and simulated spot lighting gradating upward. I was thinking more architectural for these pictures and felt the dark background would stand out well on their website and in online media publications. We also shot a couple of casual pictures of Brian and Scott Olson for potential use on blogs and social media.

Morkes Chocolates (Picture 12):   Photographing the boys with the Morkes Chocolates ‘Sweet’ caps was a fun challenge. I just decided to take as many pictures as I could before these charming little boys lost their patience with me and decided to go outside and play. Fortunately, their mother was on hand to help out. The moment arrived and it really didn’t take too long before this picture felt right. The words on each cap were legible and their poses were as perfect as I could expect under the circumstances. The boys really were a treat to work with and thanks to their mom as well!

Morkes Chocolates (Pictures 13 - 16):   Rhonda Morkes Dehn is the owner of Morkes Chocolates. The third generation Chocolatier in the Morkes family. Morkes Chocolates will be celebrating 100 years in business in 2020! When you want really great chocolate and you want to have a fun experience you need to visit Morkes Chocolates.

Morkes Chocolates (Pictures 17 - 18):   Morkes T-shirts come with a variety of clever chocolate expressions and are worn by employees and are offered for sale in the store. If you're a regular customer at their stores most likely you have one of these T-shirts.

Robert L. Kealy, Attorney at Law (Pictures 19 - 20):   Mr. Kealy is a true professional, conducts his business with the highest detail and dresses immaculately. Photographing Mr. Kealy for his website, business cards and socail media page was a pleasure.
