I recently had the pleasure of photographing the Pollitt & Holland family at my Stockport studio. What a ton of fun it was.
It was amazing to meet everyone with Sofia, Poppy & Joseph being the stars of the show. I get told often to never work with children and animals although I have no idea why… all my clients and their little ones have been nothing but perfect. I really enjoy getting to know and working with local families.
We spent the whole session in the studio with the cold weather recently, but I cannot wait to get out on to location as the better weather rolls in.
Client Work
Commercial Work - CH1 Studios - Chester
Earlier in Feb myself and good friend (sometimes assistant / Sometimes 2nd shooter) Stuart headed over to Chester to shoot for CH1 Studios owned by Sarah.
I have photographed Sarah before about 6 years ago when she was still based near Manchester.
Head Shot Session – For Model Agency Applications
Head shots can be required for many reasons in today’s world.
Job applications.
Digital CV.
Social Media Profiles.
Worker ID Cards.
Staff Profiles.
And for applications for model agencies which is what this head shot session was about.
Chris called me and booked in a session after a brief talk over the phone. The brief was to provide head shots for applications to a model agency.
These can be very similar to casting head shots as is they just need to show your like ness and that’s it. Nothing fancy required as they have to show the real you un retouched.
We started the session by getting those shots done. One straight on shot and a few side profile shots, I am not showing those images here (NDA) but they fit the brief and agency requirements. What I can show are some additional head shots taken and a bonus portrait they we had time to produce.
Head Shots for RM Education LTD
Last week I had the pleasure of photographing Ben Jones from RM Education LTD. Ben was looking for head shot photographers when our paths crossed online. After a brief phone call and chat about what he wanted a shoot was booked.
Ben was after some head shots with simple clean backgrounds to match company literature and allow for use internally and for conference posters. For this you can’t beat white or grey because they are timeless and allow for cut outs and changing of layout if required.
It was an absolute pleasure to meet and photograph Ben and swap stories about family and life. I look forward to working with him and RM Education LTD again.
You can see a few more frames from the session below. I also provided Ben with a few more dramatic portraits for Facebook.
If you are looking for head shots yourself I would love to be of service. You can book your session here.
Thank You
