Here are a series of billboards I recently completed for Agnesian Healthcare. The marketing team for the Fond du Lac, Wisconsin based healthcare system came up with some great subjects and locations. Designer Matt Bellisle of Gravity DSN always does a great job creating the pieces. We had a few minor hurdles to overcome like swarms of bay flies,...
It’s that time of the year again – time for me to post my best of year end blog. 2014 was a little different for me than past years. I did less healthcare photography, but way more industrial photography. I wore more steel tipped shoes and safety glasses, and less hospital scrubs and surgery masks....
I was recently approached by Agnesian Healthcare to photograph a series of environmental portraits for an ad campaign revolving around cancer patient success stories. I love photographing real people on location and telling their stories, so I knew this would be a healthcare photography project I would really enjoy. The marketing team for the Fond...
One of my favorite corporate photography clients has a very strong visual corporate identity. Schneider, a Green Bay, Wisconsin based trucking company, is known for their orange trucks and trailers. As a photographer, I love having that orange truck as a background for portraits; that truck was my background for recent driver and executive portraits. As part of their associate appreciation week, Schneider wanted to open up the opportunity to the rest of their associates to have a portrait done with a truck. Here is a large sample of some of those portrait shots done in one day with the help of some great Wisconsin fall weather.
My assistant and I kept things simple with just two lights, a main and a hair light. We also kept the subjects in the shadow of a large scrim to reduce the effects of the harsh sunlight and to reduce squinting. When you shoot portraits of a 150 subjects in one day, you don’t have a lot of time to get to know the subjects and make them feel comfortable in front of the camera; with our limited time, I think we did a great job.
Schneider will be giving the photo files to the associates as a thank you to be used for things such as social media profile photos or Christmas card photos, as a few of the subjects mentioned. So if you get a holiday card this year with a big orange truck in the background, it may have come from this shoot.
About a year ago I was approached by one of my Green Bay commercial photography clients to help them facilitate a nationwide photography project. The client, a nationwide trucking company, wanted to start profiling their drivers. With thousands of drivers spread out across the United States, I knew this would be an interesting and fun...
