For portraits, we have several options:

Directly at the client's premises, indoors or outdoors, we take advantage of the atmosphere and environment to personalise and contextualise, working mostly with natural light.

For clothing:

• I always recommend wearing clothes without visible marks.

• Light colours for a brighter look.

• Bring two outfits so you have a choice.

• Light, mattifying make-up.

Examples of photos taken in natural light:

It is important for photos to be able to turn off the artificial lights in the rooms where you will be working, as these are generally unflattering.

Here is an example of a photo with the office light on, which is not flattering for the person.

Installation of a studio at the client's premises:

Depending on requirements, I can set up one or more complete studios on site. The standard size of a studio backdrop is 2.75 metres, which allows for full-length shots of between one and four people. In order to set up a complete studio (lighting and backdrop), I need a floor space of at least 4 metres by 5 metres, free of obstacles.

The installation time for a studio is approximately 1 hour, so please plan accordingly based on the schedule set for the shoot. The background colour depends on your needs.

For specific colours, I can order shades from Colorama. By default, we generally opt for a neutral grey or white background.

If you are looking for more textured backgrounds, I have some interesting references from Gravity Backdrops.
