Recently, I photographed Fiona Cicconi, the People Operations & Chief People Officer for Google and Alphabet. She welcomed me warmly and, her being Italian, we kicked the shoot off with a lovely espresso!

One of my favorite techniques is to engage in conversation with my subjects. This helps them relax and allows me to capture more genuine expressions. With Fiona, we chatted about various topics, from her work at Google to our shared love for coffee. These moments of connection are what I believe make for the best portraits.

As we moved through different setups and outfit changes, I focused on capturing various expressions and moods. My aim was to showcase Fiona's dynamic personality and leadership qualities in a natural and approachable way. I paid close attention to the details, ensuring that each shot was well-composed and lit to enhance her features.

The behind-the-scenes moments were just as enjoyable as the main shoot. It's always fun to see the lighter side of things, and those candid shots add a personal touch to the overall experience.

I've included some of the final images from the shoot, as well as a few behind-the-scenes shots that give you a glimpse into the process. If you're interested in discussing a project or just want to chat about photography, feel free to get in touch!
