My graphic designer needed an image for a promotional piece. Before shelling out $149 for a royalty-free image I decided to give it a try myself using her specs.

Here's what she asked for:

which I shot in my office studio.

Here's how she used it:

A pretty severe crop, but my first commercial shot none-the-less. The talented GA is Amanda Park.

    Awesome!!! It turned out great.

    About the crop for those who are not familiar with this kind of thing, what you provide a company will often get morped and chopped up to fit what they need. The image is like raw food that gets cooked to their taste.

    Good Job Angelo!
