Portraits for Udemy

 

Commissioned portraits for Udemy’s AI for Business Leaders course, photographed on an LED volume. Carefully shaped light and a direct connection with the subject bring a human presence to the digital setting.

 

The 106-foot LED wall served as both a backdrop and a lighting consideration. I balanced the portrait lighting with the screen and adjusted camera settings to control flicker and moiré, keeping the focus on expression and the person in front of the camera.
