Portraits

Our library has a series of posters posted throughout the building featuring faculty & staff with the title "READ" in large font; this campaign imitates a similar campaign from the 90's where celebrities would pose with books and were designed the same way.  Each photo is taken within our university's library, so it's always a challenge to make each portrait unique.  Each staff chooses a book that is important to them and poses with it.  At the top of the central stairwell, the light was coming in at an interesting angle, so I set up a large umbrella with a flash for fill, and then posed the subject as depicted above.  There is room at the top and bottom of the photo to allow for graphic design elements to be placed.
