headshots
Gavin got in touch for some updated actor head shots. These would be used on social media and sent to agents for castings.
I have to say Gavin was extremely comfortable in front of the camera and made it a breeze for me. You would think that an actor would be camera comfortable right? Sure on a set with video camera but it’s a different game/pace for stills and it take a little bit of a different approach.
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 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.
Good Evening,
Well we are in 2017 already where did 2016 go?
2017 is a new year for us all and what a great start to the year it has been, with family shoots, head shots sessions, event cover and some 121 training/workshop bookings.
In this evenings blog post we will be looking at some images from a head shots session with Ian Mackintosh from Inteta UK. Ian is a business & school/academy improvement specialist and came to me with a brief to provide new head shots to fit a re-brand and new website.
We all know how important it is to have a good presence online when in business, the site, the logo, the brand. But we also as business owners need to show a personal side with not only what we write and post online but also with images and head shots so that people can get an idea about the real you before they call/enquire.
Portraits and Head Shots need to be done right not only to fit your brand but to show the real you.
Ian booked a 1 hour session at my studio which gave time to shoot a couple of outfit changes and also a few different background looks that gave Ian and his web designers some options.
I always setup the day before for portrait/head shot clients and pre-light the set with a meter, this saves time on the day and allows me to work more efficiently and get the brief fulfilled as quickly as possible from capture through to delivery.
I had already looked at Ian’s site to get an idea of the layout, theme and feel of the site. The impression I got was clean, simple and easy to navigate. The head shots had to show the person behind the brand but also fit the brand and site.
You can see the results from the head shot session below.
It was a pleasure working with Ian and I wish him and his business all the best in 2017.
