Background info:
Monsanto Company is a publicly traded American multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation headquartered in Creve Coeur, Missouri. It is a leading producer of genetically engineered (GE) seed and of the herbicide glyphosate, which it markets under the Roundup brand. Founded in 1901 by John Francis Queeny, by the 1940s it was a major producer of plastics, including polystyrene and synthetic fibers. Notable achievements by Monsanto and its scientists as a chemical company included breakthrough research on catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation and being the first company to mass-produce light emitting diodes (LEDs). The company also formerly manufactured controversial products such as the insecticide DDT, PCBs, Agent Orange, and recombinant bovine somatotropin.
Monsanto was among the first to genetically modify a plant cell, along with three academic teams, which was announced in 1983, and was among the first to conduct field trials of genetically modified crops, which it did in 1987. It remained one of the top 10 U.S. chemical companies until it divested most of its chemical businesses between 1997 and 2002, through a process of mergers and spin-offs that focused the company on biotechnology.
Monsanto was a pioneer in applying the biotechnology industry business model to agriculture, using techniques developed by Genentech and other biotech drug companies in the late 1970s in California. In this business model, companies invest heavily in research and development, and recoup the expenses through the use and enforcement of biological patents. Monsanto's application of this model to agriculture, along with a growing movement to create a global, uniform system of plant breeders' rights in the 1980s, came into direct conflict with customary practices of farmers to save, reuse, share and develop plant varieties. Its seed patenting model has also been criticized as biopiracy and a threat to biodiversity. Monsanto's role in these changes in agriculture (which include its litigation and its seed commercialization practices, its current and former agbiotech products, its lobbying of government agencies, and its history as a chemical company, have made Monsanto controversial.

This post is for some wedding photographers I mentor. A question I often get asked is, "What are some tips for interesting people pictures when you have a boring background to work with?" Well, boring backgrounds are a common problem and I had to deal with it during a wedding this weekend at a nice, but fairly uninspiring, golf course.
Here are two suggestions that might help. If the background is nothing to write home about then why not look to the foreground for inspiration? Sometimes what you put in front of your subject is as important as what is behind them. For the first picture, I shot through the branches and leaves of a nearby tree to add some foreground interest to the photo. For the second shot I kept it even more simple and framed a tree in front of the group portrait.
Another suggestion to solve a boring background is to make it even more boring. For the portrait of the guys I laid down on the ground to nearly eliminate the background all together and angled my camera so as to cause a lens flare. The flare and strange angle almost makes you forget that the background is pretty much a boring, solid white color.
