Charlotte Office Headshots

One of my favorite clients is re-branding and updating their website. Their creative team had decided it’s time to get away from the more formal style of head-shots we’ve been doing, and go with something more candid and casual. I LOVE the new style they are going with!!!

Last week I traveled to their Charlotte Office to photograph their team members that are up there. It was a beautiful day. And their office afforded a wide variety of fun backdrops around it. We had a BLAST and came away with exactly what the client was looking for!

Many thanks to Lia at Seamon Whiteside for all her hard work in coordinating everyone’s schedules!!!

Creative Architectural Design and Superior Construction

Elizabeth and Greg Allen are not only partners in life, they have created one of the most incredible partnerships in home building that the lowcountry has ever seen!  Check them out at https://charlestonarchitects.com/.

An award-winning architect, Elizabeth’s creative concepts and problem-solving skills have made her one of the most highly sought-after designers of custom homes and renovations in Charleston. At the same time, her husband Greg has risen through the ranks by repeatedly going above and beyond his client’s expectations, placing him on the top tier of home builders in town. By working together, they are able to provide custom options nobody else is offering in the market.  Their attention to detail and level of quality is simply stellar!  Plus their incredibly efficient system, and the amazing team they’ve assembled around them, are able to deliver projects in record-breaking time.

It was an absolute honor to be able to photograph a few of their amazing projects last week!

Headshots for First Citizens Bank

I’ve enjoyed working with First Citizens Bank for many years. They are such a great group of individuals. And we always have so much fun at our photo sessions!

Last week I photographed their Wealth Management group at the downtown office. And since I get a lot of questions about my “on-location” studio, I did a little behind-the-scenes video of the setup and how it all works.

Of course every client is different…different background, different lighting style, different posing, etc. But this is how I set up at all the First Citizens banks to keep it consistent for their branding: Savage TV Grey background, Manfrotto background stands, Manfrotto light stands, Westcott Apollo 50″ softbox main light, 3 SB-5000 speedlights in main light, Westcott 60″ umbrella as fill light, 1 SB-5000 speedlight in fill light, Manfrotto carbon fiber tripod, Nikon D5 camera, Sony XQD memory cards, Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 VRII lens, Nikon WR-R10 wireless transmitter for lights, and Lenovo Yoga laptop (tethered to camera) for proofing.

If you’re a fellow photographer looking to get ideas for your next shoot, I hope this gives you some inspiration.

If you’re a company representative looking to hire a photographer for your next photo shoot, we’d be delighted to serve you!  More information is available at:  https://chrisandcami.com/gallery/corporate/.

I had another fun round of head-shots with Atlas Executive Consulting last week! We’ve been using a special high-key setup, which they love. Here are a few favorites…plus some silly “out-takes”. 🙂

Headshots for Atlas Consulting

One nice thing about photographing head-shots is that I can stay completely compliant with all COVID-19 safety precautions! I set up in a corner where there aren’t other employees, wipe down my cameras with alcohol wipes before I arrive, wear a mask, and shoot with a telephoto lens to keep my distance!

It was a pleasure working with Atlas Consulting again last week! They are a great organization, and still growing fast in spite of the bump in the economy caused by the virus. Here are a few behind-the-scenes shots of my setup, along with a few favorites from the shoot.

Aerial Photos for Trident Construction

I love my job!!! Sometimes I get to do the coolest assignments.

Yesterday I got to photograph aerial photos for one of my favorite clients, Trident Construction. I’ve done a lot of aerial photos for them with my drone. But we needed a few shots from a higher perspective than the drone legally allows. So we went flying in a helicopter!

Many thanks to Robert at Fly in Helicopters for setting us up, to our pilot Randy for an exceptional flight, and to Elizabeth for helping coordinate and direct the shoot!

Headshots for Lee & Associates

It was a pleasure photographing Alex this morning for our wonderful clients, Lee & Associates! He seems like a great guy and a perfect fit for the team.

I used a 2-light setup for this shoot using 4 Nikon SB-5000 flashes, 2 Westcott 60″ shoot-through umbrellas, and 2 Manfrotto light stands. The Nikon D5 with 105mm Micro lens was tethered to my Lenovo Yoga laptop for instant review and selection of final images.  After photographing a self-portrait to test the lights, Alex stepped in for his shots.  We captured a variety of poses for use in their website, bio, and other marketing material.

CONGRATULATIONS to Alex on joining a fantastic company!

Firefly Distillery for Trident Construction

What a fun coincidence!!! Cami joined some friends for a fun night of music during the Safe Sounds Concert Series at the Firefly Distillery Saturday night. They enjoyed “20 Ride: A Tribute to Zac Brown Band and Natty Grass”. Check it out at www.fireflydistillery.com.

I was bummed that I had a photo shoot and couldn’t join them that evening. But then on Monday morning, I got to photograph the very same new Firefly Distillery for Trident Construction! How cool is that?!? For more information on this awesome team, visit www.tridentconstruction.com.

Many thanks to Elizabeth for all her hard work organizing everything!

Brighton Park Emergency Center for Trident Construction

Every now and then I get some really cool assignments!

Earlier this week I got to photograph the Brighton Park Emergency Center in Summerville for Trident Construction. It’s pretty neat walking around a major medical facility like that while it’s brand new, and not even open yet! All the X-Ray and CAT Scan machines still had that “new car” smell. I guess for a million-dollar machine, they better smell nice! 🙂

I used a combination of tools to capture the scope of the project. From drone shots with the DJI Mavic Pro to detail shots with the Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 mounted on a D850, from natural-light interiors with the Nikkor 14-24 f2.8 to more creative lighting with a few SB-5000 Speedlights, I was able to deliver a wide variety of images to my client.

Many thanks to Elizabeth at Trident for coordinating everything, and to the on-site supervisor, Carl, for giving me access.
