Place Office Worker in Front of Their Desk

SUMMARY: An unconventional portrait photograph of an office worker may express openness and friendliness.

A photo of a manager, president, or director sitting behind a fancy (and expensive) walnut, cherry, or mahogany desk can signify power and prestige. However, if you are taking photos of someone with an "open door policy", consider taking a photo of them sitting in a chair in front of their desk. This can signify openness and friendliness, yet the desk in view still showcases their leadership and prestige.
