Christopher Barr Photography, Executive Portraiture Portfolios

Christopher Barr Photography is a Phoenix corporate photography studio that specializes in executive portraiture and corporate portraits for annual reports, corporate marketing & advertising and editorial applications.

Our corporate portraiture has been published on over a hundred business related magazine covers and for literally hundreds of other magazine and newspaper articles. Indeed, Chris' celebrity portrait photography is syndicated in over 40 countries through Shooting Star Agency, Sipa Press and H.Armstrong Roberts.

After shooting for almost two decades our studio has developed a philosophy about professional photography and corporate photography specifically that we believe separates our work from many other Phoenix corporate photographers….We believe that the quality of our corporate portraiture is not defined by our technical photographic skills as much as our interpersonal skills. Our experience, sensitivity and knowledge of people is what defines us as one of the leading executive portrait photography studios in the Southwest.

Photographing a CEO of a Fortune 500 company and someone who works for that same CEO has many similarities. At the same time, there are some important differences. Experienced corporate photographers are acutely aware of what these differences are.

It is our people skills that make our corporate photography consistently look its best, whether we are shooting on or in our Phoenix photography studio. While these skills consistently deliver the best results, our technical experience and our knowledge of photography trends in the corporate and editorial markets that keep our work current and fresh. When executive portraiture is required for publicity or marketing applications this is particularly important. In most cases, any portrait is dated within 24 months. Business attire, hair cuts, even the environments will give most viewers a reasonable guess as to how old it is. Corporate portraiture that is fresh and on trend gives it far more "legs" than corporate photography that is not.

Unlike corporate headshots, corporate portraiture is usually shot on location and is environmental in nature. Photographing executives in their environments means more than just location photography in offices or boardrooms. Our executive photography shoots have captured businessmen on their manufacturing floors, distribution centers, oil rigs, corporate aircraft, and even their private island hideaways!

Executive portraiture includes more types of "corporate" photography subjects than just businessmen or women. Corporate portraiture also includes photography of "leaders" within the world we live in….military officers, politicians, doctors and a wide variety of creatives. Our corporate and editorial photography assignments have included locations from the decks of aircraft carriers, to the halls of Congress, hospital operating rooms, movie sets and scientific laboratories to name but a few.

Since we specialize in shooting executive photography on location, we have standby crews throughout the Southwest, Nashville, Chicago, NY, Miami, Dallas, Hawaii, as well as Mexico and Canada. At the same time, our Phoenix photography studio is full service which also supports out of state production companies with crew support, digital post production and location scouting.

For most Phoenix corporate photographers, executive portraits quickly become a cornerstone of their business. Likewise, we consider corporate portraits to be one of the corner stones of ours. We also consider the quality of our corporate photography portfolios to be the visual track record of our expertise as professional photographers and our claim to be one of the best portrait studios in Phoenix and the Southwest.
