One Workplace

I was commissioned by One Workplace to photograph corporate portraits during a one-day, high-volume event at their Santa Clara, CA headquarters, celebrating the transition between their outgoing and incoming CEOs. The gathering brought the entire team together under one roof—an ideal opportunity to capture updated portraits across the organization.

To keep the workflow fast and consistent, we lit the green screen and placed each subject in front with dedicated lighting. This approach allowed for efficient, uniform results and a seamless process throughout the day, even with a large number of participants.

After the event, I photographed custom background plates at One Workplace to reflect the company’s architecture and atmosphere, giving each portrait a natural, authentic sense of place.

Back in the studio, each portrait was retouched, matched with a background, and composited into its final setting. The backgrounds were intentionally photographed with a soft focus to keep the emphasis on each individual while maintaining a connection to their real workspace.

Below are a selection of final portraits from the project, showcasing the completed compositions and visual style.
