Making a general photograph of the team against the background of the ship. Group photo shoot ideas

Bank transfer or cash!

Business photography is a significant part of our work. We have accumulated vast experience in business photo shoots, creating business portraits for a variety of purposes - for websites of organizations, publications in books and periodicals, advertising, for resumes, and so on.
Actually, it is impossible to imagine modern organization, not interested in high-quality professional photographs of its management and its employees. First of all, we are talking about employees working directly with customers. The same can be said about professionals who are going to change jobs. Professional photos for a resume are one of the indicators of a serious approach of job seekers when applying for a job.
In addition, the tradition of posting photos of the best employees on honor boards is being revived. This is a good motivation for honest fruitful work. And here you can’t do without photography for the honor roll.

Business photo shoots can be divided into photo shoots in a photo studio and outdoor photo shoots.

We offer various options for business photography of employees: under a contract, with payment to a current account (we work on the simplified tax system) or in cash.

Business photography business portrait in photo studio

A business photo shoot in a photo studio is a photograph of one or more people in business style in a photo studio. Business style defines clothes, hairstyle, make-up. In addition, appropriate poses are used in business photography.
Close-ups are typical for studio business photography: bust and half-length portraits. If there is a need or desire, you can take full-length photographs (that is, full-length photographs) in the process of shooting a business portrait.

In the process of business photography in the studio, we take several different types of photos. There are cases when the client does not have any special requirements (for example, requirements for the angle, background, etc.). In such cases, the photographer, together with the client, is looking for the most successful angle, the most suitable pose for a business portrait.

There are other situations: the client clearly knows what requirements for a business portrait will be presented to him during employment. Or there are photo requirements dictated by the design of the site where business photos will be displayed.

Undoubtedly, a business portrait is needed not only for men, but also for girls and women. Even more than that, we photograph a female business portrait more often than a male one.

Quite often, especially if the duration of a business portrait photography is 1 hour or more, clients are asked to combine business photography, for example, for a resume, and photography for various other purposes.

Backdrop for business photography business portrait

A business portrait is a rather conservative type of portrait. This is especially true for business shooting for resumes. The background for such photos should be calm and dim. Preferably gray or dark gray and black. Allowed various shades in background color. In a business portrait, in business-style photographs, as a rule, these are cold shades.

A flat black background without backlighting is very good in some business looks. The costume is important here, and indeed the whole image of the model. For example, in a white shirt on a black background, business photos will not be so stylish. Although there are exceptions (see below)

A black background for photography on resumes and other types of business photo shoots can be used without backlighting (as in the example above), or in a standard way, that is, using background light. In any case, the decision is made based on the requirements of the client and / or the opinion of the photographer.

Of course, when photographing a business portrait in a photo studio, we can use pieces of furniture that are appropriate in meaning. For example, an office chair. Or a sofa. Moreover, you can take business photos not only sitting, but also standing, leaning on the back of a chair or sofa.

Gray backgrounds and gray backgrounds with “streaks” are very popular for creating a business portrait. Against such backgrounds, the business portrait is no less interesting.

No less popular are gray backgrounds with “streaks”. They add artistry to a business portrait. Business photos on such backgrounds acquire great depth.

Business photography for entrepreneurs, politicians and businessmen

A business portrait isn't just for a resume. Very often business-style photographs are required for own business projects. It can be websites, advertisements, publications.
For example, business-style photography for a business coach.

Such business photo shoots, of course, have a longer duration than just taking pictures for a resume. The optimal duration of such business-style photography for websites and advertising is at least 2 hours. Of course, it all depends on the idea of ​​such a photo session, preliminary preparation and the desire of the person being photographed to work for several hours in a row.

Often, in business photo shoots in the studio, we use some items that serve to emphasize the business style of photos. It can be handbags, phones and, of course, diaries. Laptops or tablets are often used. Yes, you can’t call it original, but we have already said that there is a certain amount of conservatism in business photo shoots.

A business-style photo shoot for a resume or for other purposes involves the use of several images. What does it mean? This means that we recommend that you take several options for business attire with you for business photography. It can be not only different costumes, but also just a few shirts and different variants ties. Even in the shortest half-hour photo session on a resume, it is quite possible to have time to shoot two images. Indeed, very quickly.

The main thing when photographing a business portrait is to maintain self-confidence, be energetic and believe in your victory. Then a business photo shoot in the studio will definitely work out!

The cost of business photography in a photo studio - from 5000 rubles. in one hour.

Outdoor photo studio. A real photo studio in your office

But what if the studio style of a business portrait suits you, but there is no time or opportunity to go to the studio? For example, you need to gather 20 employees and take them to a photo studio. Sounds almost unrealistic. And there is no need to list the reasons - not a single leader will agree to deprive his organization of personnel even for one day.

However, there is a way out. And this is an outdoor photo studio!
What does it mean?
This means that a photographer will come to you with complete set equipment for creating an outdoor photo studio in your office, organization, enterprise.
For an outdoor business photo shoot in a studio style, the photographer takes a background with him desired color and invoices. In addition, the photographer brings as much lighting equipment as may be required to fully transform a business photo shoot in the office into a studio business shoot. All with stands, umbrellas, softboxes and so on. And, of course, filming equipment.
What will be required of you? Just a little space in your office and an electrical outlet. That's it, an outdoor photo studio for shooting business studio portraits is ready!

Outdoor business photo session in the office. Corporate photo sessions

No matter how good a business photo shoot in the studio is, it is much more often necessary for the photographer to go to the office or to production to conduct business corporate photo shoots. Offsite photography of a business portrait is necessary for both large well-known organizations and small, developing firms.

Business-style outdoor photography is necessary for shooting employees of organizations and enterprises for subsequent use both on company websites and for internal use (for example, employee badges).

How is an exit business photo session in the office

The main condition for a business photo shoot in the office is a clear understanding of the style of future photos. This means that a photographer called into the office for business photography must receive those. exercise. There are always tasks, they are more clear and less clear. Often, when the management or person responsible for organizing a photo shoot simply does not know or has a poor idea of ​​what kind of photos their organization needs. In this case, our experienced photographer talks about the different options for outdoor business photography in the office and together decisions are made on the format of business photos.

The simplest and most frequently ordered field photo shoots in the office have the following requirements: portrait close-up, a single angle and shooting point for all employees taking part in photography, a solid background. Such photography is most in demand not only for office employees, but also for photographing workers of any specialties at enterprises and industries.

Photographing on the board of honor

For example, outdoor portrait photography is very popular for creating a Hall of Fame. Photographing on the Board of Honor is already a whole exciting event for production leaders or successful office workers.

How long does such a simple photo shoot of employees take?
With proper organization of the process, in one hour you can make high-quality photography of 15-20 people. Up to 30 people - with a slight decrease in attention to the individual characteristics of employees.

Business photography of employees in the office

However, along with simple location photography of employees (one specific angle, simple background), there are orders for business photography in the office, where employees need to be photographed in natural environment a habitat. That is, in the workplace and in the interiors of the office. And there are rules for photography. As a rule, the number of angles and locations is specified. For example, an employee at the workplace at the computer and he is in the meeting room. Or in the recreation area, or elsewhere in the office. The photographer works with each employee individually for several minutes, on average from 3 to 10 minutes. Thus, in 1 hour of such extended photography of office employees, 5-15 people can be photographed. A more accurate number depends on the need for the photographer to rearrange the equipment, on the speed of training of employees and the degree of preparation of the photography process.

Photographing the manager in the office and at work

We photograph not only ordinary employees on the road, but also managers of various levels. If you need to take a photo of the head in the office, then, depending on the requirements for the finished product, the photographer takes a photo of the head (director, top manager, boss) within one to two hours. It is rare that a manager can spend more time on a business photo shoot.
However, it is not uncommon for corporate photography of employees in the office to be combined with photography of the manager or managers. By combining such shooting, you can save time and get photos in the same style.

As for the photography of managers, it takes place most often in the manager's office. Less often - in the negotiation room.

Often we go to the office to photograph the manager in order to prepare photos not only for websites and for promotional materials, but also for various publications, speeches at seminars and forums.

Photographer work on location in the office

The photographer arrives at the appointed day and hour at the office for business corporate photography. He is met by the person responsible for organizing the shooting (the person with whom the photographer made an appointment for a photo session) and escorted to the room where the photo will be taken. Most often, such a place is a meeting room. Although there are other places. Once, even the factory canteen was such a place.
The photographer prepares equipment for business photography and invites employees to a photo session. If the work of a photographer in the office involves changing locations (for example, offices), it takes some time to move the lighting equipment and the photo shoot continues. As, for example, in an outdoor photo shoot at the Moscow office of Microsoft.

The photographer goes to the customer with the necessary shooting equipment.
First, it is lighting equipment. For business photography, the photographer takes with him from 2 to 5 light sources. Illuminators are placed on studio stands and equipped with diffusers (umbrellas or softboxes).
Secondly, it is directly a camera. We shoot with a professional full-frame SLR camera. Photos taken by our experienced photographer using studio light and a professional camera can be placed not only on websites, but also printed in various, even very large, sizes.
Thirdly, the photographer takes a portrait background with him white color. It is necessary if you need to make a half-length or chest-length business portrait against a plain background.

From time to time, we hear requests from managers or organizers of photo shoots to take as many different photos as possible. That is, to photograph employees not according to a single template, but in different poses, angles, locations, etc. That is, to show a non-standard and non-standard approach to doing business. Such photo shoots are the most interesting for both the photographer and the employees themselves. However, unfortunately, such surveys are not possible in all organizations.

The duration of such field photography of employees, of course, is longer. After all, it is necessary not only to come up with a suitable pose or angle. The photographer must find contact with the person being photographed. Then we can talk about a successful photo shoot.

Group corporate photography of employees in the office

An organization may have a need for group photography of employees in the office. Of course, we quite often take group photos of employees. As a rule, these are the final photos of the photo shoot, when all the employees get together and we make the final group portrait.
However, it can be important to show the business activity of office employees or production workers collectively solving a problem.

It is worth saying that this is one of the most time-consuming processes of photography. And the point here is not the technical side of such a group photo session. How to arrange lighting equipment, set up the camera and other important technical issues are easily solved by a professional photographer. The hardest part is working with people. Indeed, in group shootings in the office, not professional actors and models participate, but ordinary people. And now to organize them, arrange them in the right way, set them up in the right way - and there is the most difficult thing in group photography in the office.

However, despite a certain difficulty in staging such group photo shoots, outdoor corporate staged photo shoots with the participation of the organization's staff are one of the most interesting tasks.

By the way, such group corporate photo shoots can be arranged not only in offices, but also in production - wherever there is a friendly team!

Such corporate photos not only look good on the websites and in promotional materials of organizations, they can be widely used in internal corporate events.

How to order a photographer's visit to the office, to the production for corporate photography

Ordering a professional photographer's visit to the office is very simple: just call the photo studio and sign up for a photo session on a convenient day. You can also write to the e-mail address This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or use the feedback form .
It is better to book a photographer's visit in advance. It is important to coordinate the schedule of employees and management. Optimally, for business photography in the office, it is worth recording one to two weeks in advance.
Next, you need to choose the time for on-site shooting of employees. Daytime seems to be optimal - 13-00 or 14-00. The employees are not tired yet, but everyone has already woken up (meaning that by this time possible swelling and swelling have passed, the eyes become clear). This is essential for a good photo shoot.

How much does it cost for a photographer to visit the office

The cost of a photographer's departure can be easily calculated independently. Photographer services are paid based on the duration of his work. In other words, we have an hourly payment for the services of a photographer.

Offsite business photography from 3 800 rubles. for one hour of work of the photographer.

The cost of photography services depends on the duration of the photo session. If the duration of the photo session does not exceed 3 hours, the cost of one hour of shooting will be 5000 rubles, from 3 hours to 5 - 4500 rubles. per hour and if the photo session lasts more than 5 hours, the cost of one hour is 3800 rubles.

Thus, the cost of a corporate business photo shoot can be calculated simply by multiplying the estimated number of hours of a photo shoot by the cost of one hour, plus additional costs.

Group photography is one of the most difficult types of photography, and if you are a beginner photographer, you need to master the basic set of examples for photographing people.

And even if you are far from photography, but from time to time you have to photograph your work colleagues, friends, and family members, I recommend that you read the article to the end and save the examples of poses on your phone or tablet so that the cheat sheet is under hand.

In general, there are 3 types of group shots:

– official and business photos a large number of people

- more informal photos of a group of friends

- family photos

I invite you, dear friends, to consider in more detail the ideas and examples of shooting for each of these types of shooting.

Official and business photos

If you are shooting a large group of people, it is simply not possible to control the expression and posture of each person. There is absolutely nothing to worry about here, the main thing, in this case, is to pay enough attention to the overall composition. In the camera lens, a group of people should look like a single object.

Before pressing the shutter button on the camera, make sure that each person is visible in the photo.

Find an opportunity to take a few shots from above. A balcony is ideal for this purpose, or you can climb onto a car. Of course, this will require some effort, because you will need to organize a crowd, and even at a distance from you. But, such pictures will be worth it, because instead of an ordinary group shot, you will get something more interesting and original.

There are some cases where it is better for group members to stand a little distance apart, of course, this is not suitable for shooting a friendly company, but it will be very appropriate when shooting a team, musical group, colleagues working on common project. If the company has an official leader, put him in front.

Informal photos of a group of friends

The easiest and most common way to take pictures of friends is to ask your friends to stand as far as they can. closer friend towards a friend and tilt their heads towards a friend.

Try to shoot from a high point friends lying around on the grass or on the floor.

An interesting way to arrange people in a photo: choose a leader and put him in the center. Each of them stands behind the shoulder of a friend.

You can get a good and interesting result by shooting people standing in a row. Make sure you can see everyone perfectly and shoot wide open to focus on the first person. Yes, people standing in the back rows will be blurry, but they will agree that the result is interesting and unusual.

family photos

Let's look at family pictures. The most popular way to photograph a family is sitting on the couch. It's not the best creative way, but it might come in handy. To make a photo stand out from all the others of this type - frame very close, do not leave the wonderful sofa and furniture in the room in the frame.

Another one a good idea for family shots - going outside, sitting on a bench in a local park or on the beach - all these places are suitable for family shots. Remember, if your models are seated, don't shoot from a standing position, get down and shoot from models' eye level.

To create extraordinary family photo flip the idea of ​​"photo on the couch"! Just shoot from behind and you will be amazed at how different the result will be from the usual.

Film a family walking hand in hand. Take a lot of shots and then choose only those where the position of the legs does not look awkward. Control focus as subjects approach the camera.

Photographers, even the most beginners, quite often have to photograph groups of people. These are friends at a party, and your own family during a field trip, and many other situations. For some, in this case, the question arises: how to organize this group beautifully, interestingly and competently. That's what we'll talk about today.

First of all, you need to know that the concept of "group portrait" is a rather capacious concept.

1. This, of course, is primarily a general snapshot of a large number of people - for example, people present at a meeting or other serious event. Usually these are quite large groups, 15-20 people or more. This group should be organized, so to speak, officially.
2. The second category of group shots is informal group photography.
3. Third - kind family relationships. Dad, mom, kids, grandparents...

Now let's move on to specific examples.

1. General photo of a large group. You most likely will not be able to manage each of the entire group. It is impossible to control the posture, turn of the head, facial expressions for everyone. When shooting such groups, the main thing is to ensure that everyone can be seen, so that the magnificent hairstyle of some lady does not half overlap the neighbor's face, so that the ear of one does not take the place of the eye of another. And do not forget to pay attention to the overall composition of the existing group. In this case, it acts as a single, solid object of shooting. Take a closer look at the background. If the group is filmed against the background of some banner, pay attention to the text - its piece, torn from the general phrase, may turn out to be funny and out of place on the official photo of serious people. There may also be a portrait in the background. For example, the president ... It's not good if the picture shows only his mouth or ear (in Soviet times for such a picture of the "incomplete" Lenin or the General Secretary, one could get a term.

2. Another example of a photograph in a similar style is a large group of people standing in full growth. School class students, students of the same group, group photo the staff of the enterprise ... Here the advice is the same as in the first paragraph. The main thing is that everyone can be seen, and that the group looks like an integral object, naturally and organically. There is such a thing - "ladder of fools." This is when every right is higher than the left and so on. Try to get away from it. How? Yes, at least by putting the taller ones in the second row.

3. If it is possible to shoot from the top point - do not be afraid and do not be embarrassed. The pictures will be very interesting. It's so good to take wedding photos.

4. An example for shooting a group that has a clear leader. This is a team led by a leader, and a school class with a teacher, and a musical group with its soloist. We put the leader in front. And all the rest - as if against its background. So you can shoot a group of those present at the wedding. The leaders are, of course, the bride and groom. Everything else is a background that only emphasizes their beauty and significance.

5. The simplest, but at the same time interesting way shooting three friends. One, standing in the center, hugs the shoulders of two who are on either side of him.

6. A method similar to that described above. But friends stand even closer to each other and their heads are slightly tilted towards the center of the composition. Photos are beautiful.

7. Unusual and funny example. The photographer lies on his back on the floor or grass, and a group of friends form a circle above him. Wonderful!

8. The leader or simply the one who is bigger, more impressive than the others, stands in front / in the center. And all the rest, as it were, lean on him, look out both because of this “block” and because of their neighbors, standing nearby. Here you can laugh, and hug, and build all sorts of grimaces ... Everything is possible. To have fun.

9. Almost the same as in paragraph 8. Only those taking pictures do not pile on one in a crowd, but simply look out from behind him. Here you can work with the depth of the sharply depicted space. And for this - shoot with a different aperture.

10. A very interesting and fun way to photograph a group of friends. Friends take each other's hands and run merrily towards the photographer, while laughing and fooling around!

11. An unusual, and therefore an interesting solution to the composition of a group shot of comrades. Take a close-up photo of them side by side. The profile of each slightly overlaps the neighbor. It will be good if you take this picture with a wide open aperture, and then those profiles that are further away will be slightly blurred. It is very interesting. And if one of the friends does not want to be unsharp, shoot the group again, putting the offended last one in the foreground.

The third and last type of groups. Group portrait of a family.

12. First of all - the easiest way, which can be called a classic. This method is old, invented a long time ago, but works great to this day. If it is applied correctly, you will get a very good family photo. It consists in the following: the oldest member of the family (well, or the most respected and deserved) sits in the center. And around him or even on his knees - grandchildren and great-grandchildren ... Adult children stand behind or on the sides. Well if main man in this photo it will be “at the parade” - with medals, for example, in a military uniform ... This will serve as a kind of dominant. It is important here that unnecessary objects do not get into the field of the frame - different cabinets, chairs, funny pictures on the wall ... The main thing in this picture is the family itself. Focus on exactly that.

13. Option for shooting a family during a summer outing. All its members are sitting on the lawn with their legs tucked under them. As they say, in Turkish. And they hug each other by the shoulders. Here you need to take into account a small nuance. When photographing people sitting on the ground, the camera should be at eye level.

14. The whole family lies on the ground and looks carelessly into the camera lens with happy faces. Such a picture can be taken both in nature, on the grass, and at home, on the carpet. Young parents and children aged 10-13 are especially good here.

15. Dad lies on the floor, on a wide bed, or on the ground. And on it in a crowd all the other members of the family. And the more kids the better! Here it is, real, genuine family happiness!

16. Dad sits on a large sofa or sits back in a comfortable chair, and on the sides are mom and children. The photo is warm and family-friendly.

17. Children on the shoulders of their parents. Fun and carefree. Such a picture can be taken both in nature and in the apartment.

18. Family portrait in full growth. Behind - dad hugging mom in front. Mom, in turn, put her hands on the chest of the child standing in front of her.

19. Mom, dad and children, holding hands, walk towards the photographer. Very beautiful and symbolic. Especially if dad has another baby in his arms. The hand of a child in the hand of an adult is a symbol of fidelity and family.

Good luck with your creativity!

Now let's talk about group photography.

Generally, there are three types of group photography. The first type - is official photos with a large number of participants. The second one is more informal shots of friends. And finally, the third type is a family photo. Let's look at ideas and poses for photo shoots in that order.

1. When working with large groups of people, you do not have the ability to control the posture or facial expression of each individual person. There is nothing to worry about, as long as you pay enough attention to the overall composition. Think of the whole group as a single entity. Make sure that all participants are clearly visible.

2. Often in a group photo session, the only possible composition that allows you to fit everyone into the frame is a full-length shot. Usually this is an official photo, which depicts significant event, so your main goal will be to make sure that all participants are visible.

3. If possible, try to take the photo from a low altitude. You can go out to the balcony or climb into the car. The effort will definitely pay off, because instead of a standard group shot, you will get a photo with an interesting and non-standard composition.


4. In some situations, people standing alone look more advantageous in the frame than a crowded company. Perhaps this is not the best option for a friendly photo, but it is great for a team shot, such as a musical group or people working together on a project. If the team has a clearly defined leader, place him or her in the foreground for a more expressive composition.


5. This is a pretty standard version of a photo of a group of friends. Yes, it's simple and a little run-of-the-mill, but it works. So why not?


6. This funny composition perfectly conveys the friendly relations between the participants in the picture. Ask people to stand closer and tilt their heads slightly towards each other and towards the camera.


7. Ask participants to lie in a circle with their heads in the center, on the grass, outdoors or indoors. Shoot from above.


8. A very simple and advantageous way to position a small group of people in the frame. Select the "group leader" and place him or her in front. The rest of the participants must join one at a time. Each of them should look into the camera from behind the previous one. Ask them to lean on the participant in front, this will add to the picture of soulfulness.


9. Variant of the previous pose. Place the leader forward and the rest of the participants so that they peek out from behind each other. Try experimenting with depth of field, and then choose which shots you like best - those where the focus is only on the leader or on all participants.


10. A very fun way to capture a group of friends. For best results, ask the models to bounce after a short run.


11. A very profitable and interesting composition for a group of people standing in a row. Make sure you can see everyone clearly and shoot up close with a wide aperture and focus on the first person in the row. Indeed, distant participants will look blurry, but they will not be offended, as the result will be a very interesting and unusual group photo.


12. To continue, let's look at examples of family photography. The most common location for taking a family photo is the sofa in the living room. It's not the most creative idea for a family photo, but it works great. The easiest way to diversify this standard composition is to trim it tightly around the edges. There is no need to make your favorite sofa and furniture in the living room full-fledged participants in the frame. Let the family members be in the photo, and only they.


13. Here's another one great idea for a family photo - go out into the fresh air. Sit on the front lawn, in the park or on the beach - all these places will serve as a great backdrop. Most importantly, do not forget that you should not photograph sitting people while standing. Crouch and shoot from their level.


14. Family members sat comfortably side by side. Ask them to rise a little, leaning on their elbows. Shoot from a lower angle.


15. Very nice composition for a family photo. The shot can be taken both outdoors and at home on the bed. Looks equally good with any number of children.


16. A cozy pose, the family comfortably settled on their favorite sofa.


17. For an interesting and unusual shot, you should diversify the photo on the couch a little. Just take a photo from the back of the sofa and you will see that the frame looks completely new.


18. Option photo from the back of the sofa.


19. Highly beautiful option family photo. Ask parents to ride their children on their backs.


20. A very simple pose for a full length shot. Equally well suited for any number of people.


21. Add a shot of a family holding hands while walking outdoors to the photo shoot. Take a series of shots and choose the photo with the best position of the legs. Use AF tracking to capture this shot.



In conclusion: be original and try to diversify these poses with your own ideas. Think about how to adapt one or another standard pose to the location and scenario of your shooting. Use our ideas as a runway for your own creativity!

Photo shoot with smoke (colored smoke)

The most important thing is to come up with a subject for photography in which you want to use it. Smoke in shooting is used for brighter photographs, giving them mystery, mystery, fabulousness, or to create a certain atmosphere of wartime, disaster, smoky space. Yes, anything! Smoke looks great against the backdrop of nature in cloudy weather or at night time.

Regular or colored smoke can be used. The effect is achieved by using special smoke bombs and torches. Moreover, the color palette is very diverse: red, yellow, green, blue, orange, purple, white, black, blue, burgundy, pink, azure. Artificial smoke is non-toxic and does not leave marks on the body and clothing.

Smoke is used in filming children's parties, singles and wedding photo sessions. Its use depends only on your wild imagination and the experience of the photographer, who will tell you and help you decide on the plot.

Body painting photo shoot

Body art (English body art - “art of the body”) is one of the forms of avant-garde art, where the human body becomes the main object of creativity, and the content is revealed with the help of non-verbal language: postures, gestures, facial expressions, drawing signs on the body, “decorations” (WiKi). The most popular type of body art has become body painting - drawing on the face and body (body painting on the body).

When choosing a photo session in the style of body art, you need to understand that this is a long process, where you become an object of art twice: first, an artist works with you, who will draw everything you want on the body, then a photographer who needs to skillfully capture this beauty .

Photo session in business style

In a business portrait, it is important to capture several qualities that characterize a successful and businesslike person: purposefulness, professionalism, self-confidence and at the same time openness.

The development of business clothing style is not so fast, so conservatism is still relevant - strict skirts and trousers, shirts and blouses, shoes with low heels.

Clean hair. Moreover, long ones should be neatly assembled into a hairstyle. In makeup, focus on the eyes - light shadows, beautifully let down eyes. The rest - light daytime makeup - lip gloss, barely noticeable blush, so as not to look pale.

A business photo shoot can turn any person into a grasping and tenacious, sensitive and modern - a real shark that lives according to the laws of business.

The business portrait of business men and women is considered very carefully, as if trying on whether he / she is worthy of being a leader. The photographer should show your strong character traits and charisma. Therefore, the image and atmosphere for a photo shoot should be chosen very carefully, thought out to the smallest detail.

Clothing - classic strict style, combined with elegance. You must be dressed "to the point", look like "a million dollars". This will help not only clothing and properly selected jewelry, but also well-groomed appearance(face, healthy shiny hair, beautiful nails). The color of clothing should be warm, soothing shades. For women, nylon tights are required, comfortable shoes with heels, but not too high. Makeup - light daytime with an emphasis on the eyes.

The workplace must be in perfect order. And the little things that will complement the image and make it complete: a modern computer, an expensive mobile phone, photographs on the table, a pen, but not a simple one, but a gold one.
