Last week I photographed Martin, a successful, young professional running his own business. In addition, he’s also looking forward to more work as a comic, so he needed photos with a few different looks.

This metro Boston shoot was on location in Copley. A warm, partly cloudy day. Overcast days have a nice soft quality of light that I enjoy working with. Martin was also lit with a portable studio light that I use frequently to control lighting situations. The look can be subtle to most, but it makes a big difference.

I was able to catch Martin smiling naturally in this last photo. A big smiling shot was important to show his comic side.
