Photo of the Week #173

This week’s photo is from Tuesday’s corporate portrait shoot at a New York City investment firm. The company hired me to take a mix of formal and candid portraits at its midtown office. A natural-looking meeting shot like this one is often the most difficult to get because the subjects are well-aware of my presence in the room as they hear the camera clicking and see the flashes popping, but as I moved around the room, I was able to capture this candid moment. You’ll notice one of my flashes is visible hanging from the ceiling in the upper right corner, a burst of light that adds a bit of drama to an otherwise ordinary scene.

Photo tech specs: Canon 5D Mark III camera, 24-70mm f2.8 II lens @ 27mm, f3.2, 1/200th, ISO 100, lit with four 550EX flashes.
