Business portraits at the Madison studio

Yesterday evening I photographed Brent for a magazine article with a tight deadline. I don't do a ton of portraiture at my studio but I do enjoy working with people and getting results they are happy with. We took 80 shots, he picked five, and turnaround for retouched images was less than 24 hours. Here's my favorite from the shoot.

Open modeling call: Madison
