How it works
Three steps. No logistics on your side.
No shoot to schedule, no calendars to align. You brief me, I direct and sort, you validate before delivery. If you want what each of these terms means before the steps themselves, start there.
Brief and references
A ten-minute form. Your reference photos, your brand guidelines, the intended uses: website, LinkedIn, press, recruitment materials.
Direction and sorting
I set the direction, run the production, and sort the output. Selection, correction, brand coherence. Nothing approximate ships.
Delivery
Files organized by use case. AI use disclosed on every file. Your source images are deleted 30 days after the project closes.
Step 02, up close
Setting the direction means choosing, and naming, the light.
The same person, four lighting decisions. Each one says something different about who is in the frame, and each one is a choice I make against your brand and the intended use, not a setting a model picks on its own.
Soft frontal
Even and symmetrical. The most approachable read, and the safest on a team page.
Side, triangle
A triangle of light under the shadowed eye. Structure and character, without hardness.
High, sculpting
Light falling from above. Definition and authority, closer to an editorial register.
Direct, rim
A rim that lifts the subject off the background. The most graphic of the four.

One revision round, and you sign off before anything ships.
If a portrait does not read as the person, it does not ship. You validate every image before delivery. How your data is handled is set out in my privacy and data policy.
