I was fortunate that the office was in Martin Place so I could capture one of the amazing art deco buildings in the background. Therefore I set the aperture to F4.0 to allow the background to be out of focus. As this was a large aperture it gave a shallow depth of field. Even though I had captured a great variety of images inside the office, I felt that there was something lacking. If you take the subject out of their working environment you can discover new photographic opportunities which to me offer a more editorial\/lifestyle feel to the portraits. The fact that Martin Place was outside the entrance proved to be a great asset. We walked towards the GPO Building \u00a0and I found the perfect location. There was certainly an element of luck involved, no people in the background for a few seconds.
