Portrait Of The Professor
Thursday, January 19th, 2012Today I had the great privilege of photographing Louis L’Allier PhD Associate Professor, Classical Studios at Laurentian University. Louis needed a photograph of himself to grace the next cover of www.avoslivres.ca/magazine. He also wanted something for himself to use as his own bio pic on the back of his published books and works. Louis picked a great room attached to the L.U’s Library that provided some great ambient light along with some warm incandescent backlight. I opted to mix the ambient with some Off Camera Flash to create an image where Louis would “pop” out of the frame, but still have the background compliment the rest of the image without being distracted. I’m not sure which image the magazine will use for their cover, but the below image is one that Louis and Myself liked for his own use. The book in the portrait is a very old (hundreds of years) Greek Book that is part of the Greek History Louis Loves and teaches.
Here are 10 Reasons
I recently received an email inquiring the use of some of my images for a companies marketing materials and within the email was a common sentence I usually see "We have done an exhaustive search of the stock photo sights and are coming up short".
