I had the chance last week to take a number of head shots of aspiring actor Pierre. He is a great guy with an infectious smile, so it was a lot of fun to get to be a portrait photographer and take photos of him.
It had been raining all morning long and the light outside was just absolutely dismal. Luckily, I have been working on being able to create an head shot that looks naturally lit, but is actually lit using strobes. I set up my gear in Pierre’s entryway, tweaked the lighting setup a little and then called Pierre over to get shooting.
We did a number of looks for his head shot session. We were shooting tethered (meaning the images would display on my laptop as soon as they were taken), so we had instant feedback and could quickly dial in the best head shot possible.
In the end, we walked away with about three hundred different images to choose from. These three were some of my favorites, so I am sharing them as a kind of sneak peak to the world. I can’t wait to see which ones Pierre chooses.
If you know of anyone who could use an Austin head shot photographer, please send them my way!
these are great! nice use of lighting.
I was thinking about getting new acting headshots. How much do you charge?
