Derrick’s Portraits
My standard executive portrait package includes a single finished portrait, as chosen by my client from among one or two dozen select previews that I provide. Following post-production, the finished portrait is delivered as both, a high resolution image file that is ready for print, and a low resolution image that is ready for the web.
Derrick was in the studio last week, and as a matter of course, I covered a range of expressions. It’s not uncommon for clients to make the choice that Derrick did, after he saw his previews. He placed an add-on order for the finished version of an additional take. The range of expressions that we cover during photography means that your portrait session can yield more than one useful finished portrait. Portraits with different looks can be used to serve different business purposes. One portrait might be ideal for your web profile, while another could be the perfect accompaniment for a presentation or publication.

1940’s New York Photography by Stanley Kubrick
Wow, these photos are awesome! Perhaps what you might expect if Henri Cartier-Bresson and Diane Arbus were to have a love child photographer. Oh alright you left brainers, let's say he made it with Diane Arbus's mom then.
View the above and 14 more images here.

Time And Value
Pablo Picasso was sitting in a park when a woman approached him and asked him to draw her portrait.
He opened his artist’s pad, and after studying the woman’s face for a moment, quickly drew some contoured lines. He handed the women the drawing.
“It’s perfect!” she exclaimed. “You have captured my essence with just a few strokes of your pencil! Thank you! How much do I owe you?”
“Five thousand dollars,” he replied.
The woman protested, "But it took you only a minute!"
"No, madam,” Picasso replied. “It took me a lifetime."
