I recently had the pleasure of photographing Gavin Black, the CEO of Moran Shipping Agencies. I have to work a little harder to produce glare-free eyewear but once I had my lights set up, gavin nailed the pose!

Like many of my clients, the headshot was required for the company – Moran Shipping Agencies – website ( https://www.moranshipping.com/ ), in this case a new website!  Check it out, it is a pretty cool business,
