Photographer/Director Nate Ryan recently captured executive portraits of Kraft-Heinz CEO, Steve Cahillane, that prove great imagery can thrive under pressure. Despite a tight shooting window and a watchful PR team, Nate’s expert direction brought out Cahillane’s playful, approachable side. While there was some creative push-and-pull with the props, Cahillane’s easygoing attitude combined with Nate’s collaborative approach resulted in a brilliantly executed, effortless series of shots. The final portraits reveal a genuine touch of whimsy and a love for the brand that goes far beyond the suit. As Nate shared, “It’s not every day you get to ask a Fortune 500 CEO to juggle…” — and looking at these shots, we’re incredibly glad he did.
