1.Traditional Head and Shoulders Portraits
This is the standard in the business world. This formal portrait is normally used for web bios, news releases, magazine articles, brochures, etc.
2.�Character� Portraits
This type of portrait shows more of the body. By showing more of the arms and body, �body language� can be used to convey greater personality and activity. For example: A man in a business suit sitting behind a desk can give the impression of a conservative long-standing institution. A man with rolled up shirtsleeves working at a desk can portray a hard working active representative, ready to serve your potential client.
3.�Environmental� Portraits
These are portraits that use the background to help communicate your message. Backgrounds can be done in the studio with a set, digitally, or on location.
4.Group Portraits
At times, it is necessary to show a larger group, such as a staff or group of directors. This can be done in a large studio, on location, or even digitally with each person photographed separately.
A good business photographer should be able to do all of the above. What type of portrait you choose will depend on your specific need, whether it is a web page, bio, brochure, billboard, etc. Good communication with your photographer will facilitate receiving an effective portrait.framing needs.
