Getting your professional photo shoot from Solaris Studios wasn’t always so Black & White. That’s why I got to thinking and decided to take my photography game to the next level. Starting today, I’m offering Contemporary B&W Executive Portraits for businesspeople, corporate leaders and inspired entrepreneurs alike.
Black & White executive portraits offer a whole new dynamic in the world of professional photography. The style isn’t necessarily new. It’s actually reclaimed from the early years of business photography and portraits.
What Can a B&W Executive Portrait Change for You?
It’s a standard that professional portraits be taken in color, but what if I told you that black & white portraits can offer so much more potential behind the camera? B&W isn’t just a filter, it’s a genre and discipline with unique properties and effects. When performed under an artistic eye, there’s nothing more powerful and alluring than a monochrome slate of yourself.
1) B&W Executive Portraits Are Timeless
Black and white headshots are timeless. This is because the style elicits a sense of nostalgia from the days where every photo was in black & white.
There’s also the authority of the subject trapped in an ever-present moment—past, present and future, the subject in the portrait will remain.
2) B&W Accentuates Angles, Depth and Lighting
B&W portraits also cast darker shadows and brighter lights on the subject. This provides a feature of sharper angles, depth and emphasis that can be lost in colored portraits. The subject’s unique features are highlighted more than they would be in a similar full-color portrait.
3) Color Distracts from the Subject while B&W Focuses on Them
And finally, color in portraits can distract from or dilute the presence of the subject. If you think about it, color pulls our eye’s attention. The background, dress and scene can really break apart the power behind a professional portrait in all the wrong ways.
Color can also be a problem on the other end of the spectrum as well. Color distracts, but it can also camouflage itself in the environment. Complementing color pallets with the walls, décor and building in general can reduce the stopping power of the executive portrait. It will just be another boring photo on the wall.
B&W Executive Portraits Hold Power and Public Attention!
B&W Executive Portraits Hold Power and Public Attention! Taking in everything mentioned thus far, I’ve opened the doors of opportunity for executives to have an everlasting presence in their company. My contemporary B&W executive portraits capture the aspirations, expectations, and character of the subject all in black & white.
These portraits will be remembered and acknowledged throughout the history of the company. They’ll plant roots that can be traced back and honor the memories and successes of key executives.
