Douglas K Shaw is an expert on non-profit fundraising.
His organization, Douglas Shaw & Associates, conducts direct fundraising and provides consulting for non-profit organizations.
He needed new headshots for cover art and promotion of a new book plus a relaunch of his prior 3.
Wes Craft Creative has been creating headshots for the entire DSA team for over 5 years and we got the call for this project too. A huge thanks to DSA for the trust.
Fundraising expert Douglas K Shaw authored a new book and needed new headshots. Fortunately Wes Craft Creative was on hand to collaborate.
Wes Craft worked with Douglas Shaw’s Creative Director, Robert Johnson, to plan and create a series of vertically oriented cover shots. We wanted options in both dark and light settings with negative space for titles and text. We wanted an office desk setting as a 3rd option. We needed the author to read warmly, as a mentor and sagely advisor.
In addition to lighting and camera operation, Wes Craft Creative provided dark and light backgrounds. Wes set up on location at Douglas Shaw & Associates headquarters in Lisle, IL then spent about an hour with the subject, split into 2 half hour blocks with a set change period between.
I love how these turned out. Take a look at some outtakes as well as the final covers designed by Kelly M. Vaughan.
