Business Portraits
Business Portaiture images will usually end up being used for business cards, flyers, newsletters and other promotional material, real estate signboards, tradeshow displays, with company websites becoming the number one requested purpose.
Often web and graphic designers like the portrait to be on a clean all white background, allowing them to easily make a cut-out of the person and apply a new background colour or image.
This is not as simple to do as it appears, in fact we spent over six months researching material on how best to achieve the "255" white background. Expert opinion differed on how to do it but now we are confident that we can achieve this whilst avoiding some of the contrast issues we found at the beginning of the quest.
Many fellow pros told me to just do it in Photoshop. Sure it can be done but can sometimes take an uneconomically long time to do it.
Check out this example that took me less than 5 minutes of computer post-production. To the graphics pros: can you do it in a shorter time with this sort of tricky hairstyle?
Images are usually supplied as high resolution jpegs or tiffs on CD or DVD. They can be supplied electronically either by email or through a free FTP service such as Mediafire.
