PORTRAITURE
Portrait Photography That Reveals Character
A great portrait doesn’t just capture appearance—it reveals personality. Whether you need corporate headshots that command respect or editorial portraits that tell stories, I create images that make lasting impressions.
My portrait work has been featured in Capitol File Magazine, Savoy Magazine, and FOX DC, and I’ve photographed subjects ranging from Grammy-winning artist Patti LaBelle to Jamaica’s Police Commissioner Major General Antony Anderson. This range reflects my ability to adapt lighting, direction, and post-processing to serve each subject’s unique needs.
Portrait Services
Corporate Headshots
Professional headshots for LinkedIn, company websites, and business materials. I work with individuals and teams, often on-location at your office for convenience.
Executive Portraits
Distinguished imagery for C-suite leaders, board members, and high-profile professionals. These portraits balance authority with approachability.
Editorial Portraits
Story-driven imagery for publications, personal branding, and artistic expression. My editorial work emphasizes concept, lighting, and emotional resonance.
Group Portraits
From executive teams to event gatherings, I specialize in composed group shots with sophisticated lighting—a signature technique I teach in my photography workshops.
The Pullin’ It All Together Project
My portrait expertise contributed to “Pullin’ It All Together” by Paul Wharton (2018), revealing the secrets styling teams and photographers use to transform everyday faces into supermodel-caliber images. This project exemplifies my approach: technical excellence in service of bringing out each subject’s best qualities.
What Makes Great Portraits
Connection
I take time to understand each subject—their personality, their goals for the images, their comfort level in front of the camera. This investment creates relaxed, authentic expressions.
Lighting
Whether studio strobes or natural window light, proper lighting sculpts features, eliminates unflattering shadows, and creates dimension. Lighting is never an afterthought.
Direction
Many subjects feel awkward being photographed. I provide clear, encouraging direction that puts people at ease while achieving flattering poses.
Post-Processing
Subtle retouching enhances without over-processing. The goal is the best version of *you*—not someone unrecognizable.
Service Area
I photograph portraits throughout Northern Virginia and the Washington DC region:
· Studio sessions in Reston/Ashburn
· On-location corporate shoots throughout DMV
· Travel available for editorial and special projects
