A Modern And Progressive African American Woman Business Executive Portrait

In this picture of a Black business woman the environment is an all-glass high tech upscale office. The African American woman is looking directly into the camera with all of her attention as if she is listening and weighing her alternatives, and carefully considering the information she is hearing. She is wearing her hair in corn rows which indicates she is an independent woman. She wears a pink dress in this business photo.


Symbology and Metaphor In Business Portraits

There is much symbology and metaphor in business portraiture. In this photograph of an African American business woman, the background of glass and metal immediately speaks of success in the corporate world. Further, the fact that the woman is in an office of glass says that either she has few limits, or perhaps, she is still subject to the notorious "glass ceiling". Behind the glass is a staircase which can further accentuate either of the previous two interpretations. That staircase can be the stairway to success that is either open and waiting for her, or, because it is on the far side of the glass wall, is not open to her indicating a limited future. The headline or body copy is what will guide the direction of the symbols and the message inherent in this visual communication.


The Importance of Casting, Model Selection and Expression In Corporate Portraiture

In a stock photo featuring a person casting makes all the difference, well, casting and expression. In this image the woman is a good-looking, but not striking black woman wearing her hair in corn rows. Her hair style speaks of pride and fearlessness. Her expression is warm and welcoming. The impression is one of an intelligent, thoughtful, strong and warm human being. Not a bad impression! This woman is comfortable in a leadership role, but weighs her decisions carefully.
