Photographing people is something that took me a while to get comfortable doing. Walking into a room, putting up a set, lights, camera, etc., is the easy part, the technical part. You either know how or you don't. Anyone can learn this. The real trick is interacting with the people that I will photograph. As a photographer I need to be able to make my subjects feel relaxed, make them feel comfortable, to be themselves. I need to recognize their physical features, positioning them to maximize the good, and to minimize the bad. Everyone is different. Everyone is someone. My reward is when they look at their photo and say, "yes, that's me". Below are a few portraits I recently created for a land surveying firm. The images will be used on their company website, and for individual social media profile pictures.

Happy 2016...A New Year...A New Portrait.
Why not start the year by updating your professional portrait? A strong confident image of yourself to let everyone know you mean business. :)

Late last week I had a wonderful day of work with the international staff of Mirasee. Mirasee teaches internet marketing and social media skills to business of all sizes through an on-line subscription based platform. An innovative company that employs remote workers from around the world. They all came together north of Mont-Tremblant at Blueberry Lakes in Labelle for a week of training, team building, and conversation. I joined up with them for a day of corporate portraits, head shots, team photos, and to create an image bank of technology themed marketing visuals. Here are a few of the portraits.

A good portrait can do you a lot of favours. Ask yourself, when was the last time you updated your professional profile picture? Are you using an image from 10 years ago? Are people going to be surprised when they meet you in person? It might be time to update. Here are five reasons to do it now...
1. We all age, it's part of life. Not accepting this is a major mistake in business. Imagine you are to meet someone for a contract. You do your background and look into their on-line identity...usually accompanied by a photo or two...then you meet and the person looks nothing like their on-line portrait. Wow, you have aged...
2. People trust people who are confident. Show a strong, confident and current photo. Establish trust before you even meet.
3. Professional photographers will see things that you don't. Allowing someone trained in looking at people objectively might capture the true you.
4. This one is a bit dark, but nonetheless true. Say you die tomorrow. Could happen. What will be the picture for your obituary? I know, crazy thought process, but listen...I have been contacted numerous times by grieving family members asking me to "photoshop" a picture for a funeral...something to think about.
5. A professional portrait for business is tax deductible. Engaging photographers helps the local economy.

Over the last 3 months, I have been working slowly to produce images for la Municipalité de Labelle. Labelle is a small village in the Laurentian mountains of Quebec. The surrounding landscape is gorgeous, and outdoor activities are the main attraction. My mandate was to create two sets of 3 images for both summer & autumn. Here are the three they chose for autumn...also on display in the Labelle Tourism Info Centre in Labelle.
