Lauren Editorial Photography in Phoenix
Editorial photography for a magazine.

On location I like to use strong lines in architecture and create something visually appealing by giving the viewer’s eye some strong lines to make the photograph interesting. It’s also important to place the person in the photo in a place that will be visually appealing as well.
This is another example of shooting a little wider than a traditional headshot as the photo also illustrates what the person does, their environment, and this helps to define their role in what the article is about.
Lauren is a Realtor servicing the north Scottsdale and Phoenix area and showing part of a home is a great way to tell her story. I placed a light from behind to create the shadows on the ground from the gate. More lighting information is below.
