I was brought in by another photographer as part of a photo shoot for a consulting company holding a business retreat at Horseshoe Bay recently, and here are a few of the images I made. These are meant to illustrate the company and what it does for their web site; open for business, getting down to the issues, able to help, etc. The people were great and didn’t mind my constant photography during their planning and operating meetings. I enjoyed working with these guys.
This kind of photography is a lot like wedding posed shots and reception work; everything is moving fast, people have other stuff to do and you really don’t want to interrupt the flow of things too much. Dynamic is the tempo here. I love working with people, especially when they are engaged and doing what they love and we can capture what makes sense together. Light is what “makes” a photograph and in these situations it is always a challenge to capture the moment with the right kind of light, whether the event is a reception, a meeting or a party. I use several off-camera lights strategically placed around the scene, fired by a radio remote on the camera to light the scene. This kind of lighting is one of the hallmark differences between the results in a professional photograph and a quick “candid” shot.
