Rosanna Pearson – Real Estate Headshots

I’ve known Rosanna for many years now. I met her while photographing headshots for the company she used to work for. She is such a great person, always smiling, and always so much fun to be around!

When she started with Highgarden Real Estate, I knew Rosanna was going to be a HUGE success!!!  Check out her website at www.RosannaFindsHomes.com and give her a call if you’re looking to buy or sell your home. I can’t recommend her enough!

I had such a blast catching up with Rosanna, and creating some new portraits for her to use. It was a beautiful spring day with gorgeous late-afternoon light streaming through the trees. Here are a few of my favorites…

Headshots for Seamon Whiteside

Seamon Whiteside has been growing and expanding! I had so much fun returning to photograph the newest members of their amazing team.

We selected a low-key lighting style for their head-shots.  A dark background and some directional lighting created the look they like.  I used 2 SB-5000 flashes in a Westcott 50″ Apollo Softbox as the main light source.  This was augmented by two flanking rim lights, each created with an SB-5000 in a Westcott Strip Box.  All images were shot with a Nikon D5 and 70-200 f2.8 VRII.

As you can probably tell, some of my favorites are the “outtakes” where I was just goofing off to get each subject to relax and have fun with their photo shoot.  🙂

Ashley at Lee & Associates

It was a pleasure photographing Ashley this morning at Lee & Associates! Ashley is originally from Ohio, but bounced around through Tennessee and Texas before finally landing in Charleston. She and her husband have been married about a year now. He works for The Citadel. Welcome to a great team, Ashley!!!

Carta Million Mile Club

This morning, I had the distinct honor of photographing some of the most amazing drivers in all of Charleston! These individuals have achieved the amazing mile stone of driving our Carta public transportation buses for 1 Million Miles without a single accident!

The same day I photographed these honorees, TransDev (which operates the Carta fleet) also held a press release announcing their acquisition of 3 electric buses. The plan is to eventually transition the entire fleet to electric vehicles!  How cool is that?!?

Office Headshots

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes peek at the setup I used for photographing headshots in a client’s office today.

The assignment included a Nikon D5, Nikkor 70-200 f2.8, 4 Nikon SB-5000 speedlights, 2 Manfrotto light stands, 2 Westcott umbrellas, and a Lenove laptop tethered to the camera with Adobe Lightroom.

They were a great group and I had a wonderful time working with them!!!

Victoria Capital Management

Earlier this week I had the honor of photographing the AMAZING team at Victoria Capital Management.

Diane and the rest of the firm had just been featured in Charleston Magazine. And they wanted to commemorate another successful year together by updating their head-shots and team photos. Congratulations to everyone!

High-Key Headshots for Bridge Commercial

A few days ago I had the privilege of meeting Alex. Alex is the newest member of the amazing team of commercial real-estate agents at Bridge Commercial. He moved to Charleston a couple months ago from his home in Florida. He’s excited to be joining one of the most respected firms in Charleston, and start this new chapter in his life!

Setting up in the lobby, I set up a white backdrop and created a high-key look by lighting the fabric with a single Nikon SB-5000 flash. I then created a nice soft main light by firing 2 SB-5000 flashes into a large 60″ Westcott shoot-through umbrella just out of frame on camera left. And I added a little fill light by firing another SB-5000 flash through a second 60″ umbrella just to the right of the camera. All stands and tripods were by Manfrotto. I selected the Nikon D5 and Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 VRII to shoot with. The camera was tethered to a Lenovo Yoga laptop for instant previews so that Alex could pick out his favorite.

It was a pleasure meeting and photographing Alex. I look forward to seeing great things from this young man!

Headshots and Aerials for Nautilus

It’s been a year or so since I photographed updated headshots and team photos for the Nautilus company in Mt. Pleasant. It was great seeing everyone again, and photographing the new members of their team!

After photographing all the headshots and group photos, I also captured some aerial drone images of their office and the surrounding views. They are located near Shem Creek, which is a beautiful part of Mt. Pleasant. With no wind, clear skies, and beautiful light, the aerial photos turned out great!

Everyone at Nautilus is always fantastic to work with. I’m already looking forward to our next shoot!!!

Steve Ward

Yesterday I had a real treat, catching up with my old tennis friend Steve Ward, and photographing some new marketing photos for his thriving wealth management firm, Aletheia Financial.

Headshots for Atlas Executive Consulting

Last week I had the honor and privilege of photographing new headshots for the Atlas Executive Consulting location in Charleston. They had a very specific high-key lighting style, which they wanted me to match from what they were doing at the corporate office in San Diego. Everything came out perfect. We all had great fun working together. And corporate was very pleased with the results!
