With corporate editorial shoots sometimes you have to work with what you’re given, which often amounts to about 5 minutes in a 12×12 foot, white-walled conference room that’s 75 percent occupied by a large, round table. Fortunately, when your subject works at a successful investment company the conference room – or in this case break room – at least comes with a pretty nice view. I was recently assigned by Financial Advisor Magazine to photograph DoubleLine portfolio manager Jeffrey Sherman for an upcoming profile. The original plan was to shoot in the firm’s well-lit, modern looking lobby, situated on the 18th floor of the Wells Fargo Building. This sounded great. And then we got bumped. The time scheduled for the shoot ended up coinciding with an important meeting in an adjacent conference room, meaning we had to move down the hall so as not to be a distraction. The view helped keep it interesting at least and Mr. Sherman was very friendly, giving us a good 15 minutes to shoot before he had to head out the door to catch a flight. The time allowed us to knock out 3 quick set-ups, two of which made the cut as seen here. Maybe next time we’ll get to shoot in the fancy lobby.
