All the other portraits I did had been taken against a grey backdrop as requested by the client. The idea behind this particular portrait was to convey a message that this lawyer specialised in looking after successful start up companies and to give a less formal feel to the portrait. As usual I did not have much time and all my studio lighting equipment was already set up in the boardroom with the grey backdrop.<\/p>\n<p>I knew there were several balcony outlook areas. Fortunately I found an area where the lighting was perfect on the background CBD office buildings and I felt that this setting would achieve the desired results. I could shoot this on a telephoto lens with a wide aperture so I could blur the background and focus on the subject. I used my speedlights on manual power with my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garyfong.com\">Gary Fong Lightspheres<\/a> on a stand. This was invaluable as the subjects face was in complete shadow. I was able to balance the foreground exposure with the background to achieve the desired result. One of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paullovelace.photography\/index\/G0000_.X2P8rFMoQ\">portraits <\/a>was also to be used for a LinkedIn profile, like many of the other corporate portraits and headshots that I do.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_826\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 5129px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/paullovelace.photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Corporate-Lifestyle-Portrait-.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-826\" src=\"https:\/\/paullovelace.photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Corporate-Lifestyle-Portrait-.jpg\" alt=\"Architecture, Buildings, Business Headshots, Corporate Lifestyle Portrait Photography Sydney, Corporate Photographer Sydney, Corporate Portrait, Corporation, Large Company, Sydney, Sydney CBD, Sydney Corporate Photographer\" width=\"5119\" height=\"3413\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Corporate Portrait of staff member showing the Sydney CBD in the background.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent law firm client wanted a corporate lifestyle portrait of one of their young lawyers.
