First corporate portrait
HI!
It's been a terrifying thrill to accomplish my first corporate portrait. I sure hope this helps opens doors to a new level of client someday. Eric Paulson is the founder and president of Navarre Corp., and he will be hanging this in the front lobby of their newly expanded building this spring. I was lucky to convince him of the whole look for this commission, as we started out with him wanting me to paint from an existing photo taken in a studio. I did the shoot for this with the help of my dad, who is a retired photographer - we tag team well together so one can always be considering compostion/art direction, and the other making sure all the technical chores to make a good photograph is done right. One thing I think that helped -- before going to the shoot I showed my dad a great shot of Georgio Armani and another of the painting or John Kennedy by Norman Rockwell - I was looking for a a look that would combine dash of each. I think it really helped my focus, even if it was subconcious.
The size is 45 " wide x 54" tall.
