Collaboration

This past Friday I had the pleasure of not only taking photographs of one of the leading consultants/lawyers in America, Elizabeth Birch, but to also work with art directors Neal and Brian Ashby. What I really love about photography is collaborating with talented people who have a vision. Most creative people do have a very vivid imagination, but to be able to translate that into words can be quite rare.
The photos taken of Elizabeth are for her web site, which Neal and Brian are designing. They wanted the photos to evoke a feeling of relaxation, familiarity and engagement. To do this we had Brian stand just off camera and listen as she told some amusing stories, which brought laughs from everyone on the set. We caught some great expressions and reactions. Below are some of the photos.
