Lonergan Partners executive portrait, shot at The University Club of San Francisco
In September I collaborated with Lonergan Partners, who needed portraits for a press release and website update.
I organized the session with Kirsten Settle of Lonergan. On our first call she explained that the aesthetic direction was “old money,” so we needed a location that had that feel. Kirsten already had a few locations in mind and we both sourced some new possibilities. The University Club of San Francisco was on both of our lists and it quickly became the top choice. She was able to rent the library for a half-day in the morning and the team would take care of their own wardrobe and styling.
In addition to a group portrait of Mark Lonergan, Kirsten Settle, and Michael Cunningham, I captured Kirsten and Michael individually and together.
Portraits in the Wild
This is how some of the website integration looks:
The Takeaway
You can get a good amount of variety in a short photo session. While I was on-site from about 8am-Noon including set up and breakdown, the team only needed to be there from about 9-11am. I worked solo and brought a backdrop for the classic headshot option in addition to making use of the environment.
