and with equal respect to you Steve
nothing wimpy about
attempting to work within those restraints;
especially with the subject a person I neither know
nor will have the time to get to know.
(as any working photographer
who's been assigned a few moments
with an exec or CEO can attest)

In many cases
it's easier to apply
learned, professional tactics
to produce the flattering portrait,
complete with more dramatic lighting,
and corporate backgrounds
to add (perhaps superficial) content.

Regards,
George Lottermoser
