I was commissioned by Jan Brunaes, CEO of IFS Asia Pacific, to take corporate portraits for 3 guys in his office. I haven’t really done any corporate portraits before so I figured I’d try it out.
The first thing I did was research on how corporate portraits usually look like. Most are the usual studio-type shots with the printed backdrop and strobes; others are the ones with skyscrapers in the background; and yet others have the company logo prominently displayed. I thought I’d just figure out how to go about it when I see their office. Jan offered to bring his Elinchrom light kit for the shoot but I insisted on using available light.
When I got there, I was so glad to see that Jan’s office had a huge space with huge windows, so it was perfectly lit for portraits. I decided to keep the portraits simple and straight-forward. Thanks to Jan, Simon, and Wilbert, each of them was a good sport. And I was happy with how the photos came out. These are some of the ones that were chosen:

I used my Nikon D300 with Nikkor 85mm f1.4D lens.
very nice danny. quit your day job already!
@Stefen: Hey, thank you for dropping by, Stefen! :) Means a lot coming from you!
My man danny is totally in love with his 85 1.4, for good reason!
Excellent ones. Natural light, too good.
Danny, I own a 550D which is crop sensor. I am planing to get a 35mm or a 85mm lens. Could you share some thoughts on which would be better with a crop sensor camera. Thanks.
You are a master of available light photography.
I think it is nice portraits, but it does not look as business because you focus on faces only.
Good Job Danny…like I say, give up the day job !
Hey thanks, Michael! Hehehe maybe soon ;)
Hey danny! wow what a astonishing job! How come the subject aren’t overexposed, cuz i have a 50mm 1.4G and with that kind of a background they usually overexpose. Is it the shutterspeed? mine only goes until 1/4000 probably yours go’s futher.
greets!
@Casper: Thanks, man! I actually intentionally shot most of these over exposed.. then I just adjust the exposure as well as the highlights and shadows on post to bring out the details as you see them now.
Hi Danny,
I came to your site a few times and admire your picture. May I know how much you would charge for portrait shots of a person.
