Environmental Portraits & Executive Headshot Photography.

Orlando and beyond.

A portrait session with me usually starts with where someone actually works, but a great studio isn't out of the question. An environmental portrait puts a person in the place that explains who they are: a barbershop chair, an architecture firm's drafting table, a farm they run. That's the difference between a headshot and a portrait that does real work for a brand or a bio page.

Most of what's in this gallery falls into two categories: executive and corporate headshots for a business that needs a consistent, professional look across a leadership team or a website, and editorial-style environmental portraits for interviews, profiles, and personal branding.

On the corporate side, I shot a set of stylized professional headshots for a client who wanted more personality than the usual gray-backdrop set, and corporate headshots for the team at Limitless Mindsin Lake Nona. Michael Wenrich Architectsgot a similar treatment for their leadership team, separate from the office culture work I shot for the same firm.

On the personal branding side, I handled the personal rebrand for author Jerry Thornton in Boca Raton, an agency-commissioned shoot built around a single subject's public image rather than a whole team.

The other long-running project behind this gallery is 11 Questions, a series of environmental portrait interviews with Orlando business owners, artists, and community figures going back to 2012. Each one pairs a short Q&A with a portrait shot at the person's own business or workspace: Dana Roquemore of The Dinner Party Project, Tito Santiago of Eleanor's Barbershop, Lisa Bates in her own environment, Andrew Minear of Orlando Sings, and POLIS founder Phil Hissom outdoors, among dozens of others.

If a portrait needs to run in a magazine or trade publication rather than on a website, I've also shot editorial portraits for that kind of assignment, including a banking executive for Independent Banker magazine.

Not sure whether you need a portrait session or a full image library? Why hire a professional photographer covers what changes when you bring in someone who does this for a living, and how to find and hire the right photographer for your brand has the questions worth asking before you book anyone.
