Headshots

I shoot a lot of headshots for a variety of purposes.  Models, actors, executives, healthcare professionals, many others.  No matter what the application is the need is really the same.  The fact is a person is using a headshot to sell themselves, or associate their image with a product or service.  The image needs to be a recognizable representation of them.  I may light the image a little differently, or suggest different styling and makeup based on the needs of the client, but ultimately my job remains the same for each headshot. The image needs to be inviting – as in inviting the viewer to look and look again.  It needs to be attractive and show the subjects best features, yet most importantly, it MUST look exactly like the subject on their best day.  If you aren’t immediately recognizable from your headshot, it’s time to get a new headshot.
