When someone asks me to take a business portrait, whether it's for social media or for use in a magazine or on a website, more often than not, I suggest taking an "environmental" portrait. This type of shot is usually on location and I like it because it gives some context to the subject being photographed. It also tends to help the subject relax. In choosing the location, my goal is to have it add interest to the shot while not dominating the shot. These shots were all take with my Canon 24-105 lens, an all-purpose portrait lens, it's effective with an f-stop of 5 or less to blur the background.

The portrait below was taken of someone who works next to Rowes Wharf. I suggested taking the photo right outside the building with the water in the background. In Boston, it's a fairly recognizable area. Worked out well. Didn't hurt that the "model" was stunning!
On assignment for South Shore magazine, I had an opportunity to photograph John Wayne's son, Ethan, who is selling Whiskey named after his famous father, the Duke.
