My Portrait of Ray Bradbury


I photographed Ray Bradbury at his home in Los Angeles for the Los Angeles Reader Magazine in 1996. While setting up my photo equipment in his backyard, I remember seeing this space seemingly carved out of a wall to his house. I suggested that he stand there for the photo shoot which he thought was a terrific idea.

Executive Portraits in Los Angeles & Orange County With a Green Screen Backdrop


One of my current projects is taking portraits of attorneys for the prestigious law firm Fisher & Phillips LLP in Orange County and Los Angeles.

As the firm will be inserting their own unique backdrop for all of the executive portraits, I’m photographing the attorneys in front of a green screen. I’m using a 9 foot Superior Seamless Paper #54 Stinger Chroma Key Green Compatible.

The set-up is actually pretty simple: I pose the subject about 5-6 feet in front of the backdrop with the background lights behind them. The distance from the backdrop and the lights guarantees no shadows on the backdrop and no green color bounce. I make sure the exposures are same for the people and the backdrop.

Here is the link to the firm’s website:

Examples of Executive Headshots Photographed by Mark Savage in Los Angeles and Orange County

I've been taking executive portraits for over 20 years. Here's a promo with examples of executive headshots photographed onsite in Los Angeles and Orange County. 
                                                                                                                                             © Mark Savage
I use studio lighting with your choice of backdrop. The set-up of photo equipment takes about 20 minutes. An average conference room or office is all the space that is needed.

The actual photo session only takes a few minutes.

Approximately 12-15 hi-res photos will be yours to keep. You'll be able to view and download your photos to your computer the next day.

Expert photoshop retouching is available.

Major credit cards are accepted.
