4 photosCase Study
Sotheby's, founded 1744, has a name that carries on its own. Press portraits of its directors and department heads have to meet that level.
The Brief
Editorial press portraits of Sotheby's directors and department heads, usable in press releases, auction catalogues, and international art-world media.
The Challenge
Images run in the Financial Times, Art News, and auction catalogues. They must look editorial, not corporate, and stay consistent across sitters and years.
The Approach
A documented lighting and tonal standard set in the first session, holding across sitters and editions. Shot inside Sotheby's London premises to ground each portrait.
The Execution
Lighting set to the Sotheby's portrait standard before each subject arrives. Editorial direction, controlled light, the natural materials of the building giving each frame its base.
The Outcome
A growing archive of press-ready portraits running in international media and auction catalogues, holding the level Sotheby's name requires.
