Yesterday, I took this photos for a friend of mine who works as a real estate agent.
This photo shoot came about because the agency where my friend works held a photo shoot for all the agents, but my friend had a family emergency that day. He couldn't make it and ended up not getting new photos taken for his real estate profile. So he contacted me and asked if I could help him out because he needed these photos urgently. I told him I'd be happy to do it and that he could come over whenever he wanted. And that's how the next day he came to my house to take these photos. I set up the whole studio in my living room and we got to work!
For all these photos, I used my Canon RP camera with a 24-105mm lens, a gray cloth as a background, which I then smoothed out and corrected in editing. For the light, I used a Speedlite flash with a 50cm octabox.
My friend has very little experience with photo shoots; it's not something he does regularly. So I guided him with the poses. We took a lot of photos and in the end, I let him choose his favorites.
The following photo was his idea. He told me to take a photo of him as if he were on the phone with a client:
And the next photo was obviously my idea. Many of you already know that I love close-ups!
And the final surprise for my friend was that I gave him the edited photos the same day. You have no idea how excited his voice sounded when he saw these photos!
I hope you liked them as much as we did!
