When large law firm Winston & Strawn LLP was in the process of creating a new legal recruiting feature for its web site, which included profiles and photographs of Winston attorneys from around the firm, David Ditzler Photography was selected for the Chicago office photos.
Winston and its web site firm, ICVM Group, put together the concept for the feature and began looking for photographers in each of Winston's five U.S. locations. I was recommended by another client in Chicago because I had just finished a project for their website. Winston was looking for clean, contemporary, environmental, portrait photography that looked natural. I showed them some shots from my portfolio and they were sold!
We had a conference call with ICVM Group, Winston's web site project manager, and the other four photographers Winston had selected in the other offices. ICVM showed us the concepts and walked us through it using WebEx. We then had time to ask him questions about design and technical issues. We wrapped it up quickly and everyone went to work out aligning their schedules.
We did the photo shoot in Chicago in two half-day sessions to accommodate all of the attorneys' schedules. It all went smoothly and I processed the images and delivered them on CD-ROM so they could upload them via FTP to the designers.
Above is a link to the finished piece on the new website. I think it really turned out great!
Congratulations to all the people that worked on the project. To see some of my images from this site click on my Portfolio > People and look for Corporate.
