Not every headshot has to be on a plain background. In this case I shot my friend Mike on his back deck in front of a pair multi tiered high tech planters. Mike is a serial entrepreneur and start up advisor (The Acceleration Group – http://www.acceleration-group.com/) with a new start up called MiniRoots (https://www.miniroots.com/) that is focused helping people create more productive gardens.
Mike is really excited about sharing his passion for gardening with a wider audience and I wanted this headshot to capture that passion. The image itself was shot in natural light on my Canon 6D with the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM wide open at F2.8. Why wide open? I wanted the focus to be on Mike since this is a headshot. While the planters behind Mike are very cool and I want people to see them I don’t want them to over power the subject of the photograph (Mike).
