A brief google bio…
Paul Pagnato is CEO Founder at PagnatoKarp, transparent family wealth advisors with over $4.8 billion assets under advisement. Paul is ranked #1 in Virginia on Forbes Top Wealth Advisors and #2 in Virginia on Barron's Top 1,200 Financial Advisors lists.
I have lost track of the number of times that I arrive for a photoshoot and I have been presented with beige/white/cream walls. The trick is finding a way to make an office look less boring…
In this circumstance the office had a nice looking DC skyline frosted onto the glass of their conference room. So I thought by lighting that it would add a little interest to the background of the photo.
The setup…
When the light in the conference room didn’t fire, this is the shot we got.
The DC skyline in the glass is seen but it looks a little dark and a little boring.
But when you light it (and throw a blue gel on it (mirroring the blue in his suit), it suddenly looks more interesting.
And then to give some variety I added some more relaxed poses of Paul seated, lit by just the key light.
