Every year around midwinter, the investor-relations folks like to huddle with the in-house design team and me to come up with a way to photograph that year’s report theme.

Next up was a really fun challenge. We wanted to photograph both their outgoing CEO, Dave Emery, and their incoming one, Linn Evans, together.
Their headquarters is a beautiful, modern space, so the designer and I picked an area with a little glass and steel, where the figures would create some contrast, and where the mountains were visible. I also warmed the key light with gel to keep the background cool and bluish.
