I was asked to submit a proposal for a juicy little bit of work... portraits of the 50 folks who staff my local gym. They are the admins, aerobics instructors, lifeguards, trainers, etc., that make the place run.
I decided to include some concept photos in the proposal. I wanted to demonstrate that I could use a static setup, which minimzes the time required for each picture, but personalize each image through the use of props and Photoshop.
I drafted a sweet young lady from the front counter to use as my model, and appropriated a pen with a plastic flower on it for her prop. I had her sit on a tall stool, and positioned her for short lighting. Then I used my little digicam (Canon a710is) for a sample shot. Sunlight through a glass door served as a surrogate for the off-camera flash I'll use as the main light for my location "studio" when I actually do the job. This was the setup...
... and this was the base composition.

I'll have fun using a multi-flash portable studio for this job, if I land it.
