Q: Several Chambers of Commerce are attending the annual Mayor’s Luncheon to take group portraits with him.  How can you make these portraits with LA’s Mayor Eric Garcetti extra special?

A:  Let’s photograph the various groupings against a large, grey-seamless background, with a huge bank of strobes, to simulate daylight coming in through a window.  Afterward, I’ll composite the portraits, shot against grey, into a studious library setting—to give them a regal-magestic feel.
