Large corporations to small
business's all use portraits of their executives.
If you are a portrait
photographer you may be asked to shoot someone in business.
Are you ready to take the next
leap in your photography ability?
 Many
companies use portraits of their executives in newsletters,
annual reports, press releases, and advertising purposes.
Sometimes photographers are asked to shoot in the studio and
other times on location. The studio portrait may be a simple
head shot for PR purposes, or the assignment can be a complex
setup in a manufacturing environment.
