Ruth needed a set of images for two professional websites, this included full length shots and more casual seated images. During the studio session we were able to run a set shots with different clothing options and also took both full length and seated photographs. For the seated images we used differing lighting [...]
OK let's start with the disclaimer, I know Mr Forster Ma (RCA), so he's allowed to yawn in the middle of his headshot session and I'm allowed to photograph the moment. It's an unusual challenge photographing people who one knows, there is a different dynamic but the challenges and opportunities are still there. [...]
With recent added remote working practice it is more important than ever to present well online and it is still perfectly doable. It can also be quite cost effective and even a bit of fun! Working in a great Exeter office provision I had the luxury of setting up studio in an unused [...]
My product photography client got delayed so I thought I'd see how the 105 Micro lens works as a portrait lens. I'd also been meaning to try Translum diffusion on the beauty dish rather than the shower-cap that came with it for a while. For a long time I used the 70-200 ƒ/2.8 for all [...]
Aidan visited the Exeter headshot studio for a weekend portrait session. Although not his first headshot sitting studio lighting was a new step forward. Mum accompanied and the session worked well, we tried a few clothing options and some varied lighting too. It's always good to end a headshot session with a good [...]
Mike nipped into the Exeter headshot portrait studio recently for some headshot portraits for acting submissions. Based in Devon Mike came up to Exeter and it was another of those sessions where we had a great chat and took some photos too! The observant of you will notice that we have shaven and [...]
Great to meet Debbie again recently, she called in a while ago for a pre-visit. Debbie was looking to update the self-taken images on her website and the session was great fun. Lighting was a booklight style (key to right) with a lit Translum background and a kicker to the left. This provided a great [...]
Connor and Francesca visited the studio at the weekend for some headshots for modelling. A fun session and great results from both of them with their first time in front of a camera. Parents joined the session and both mum and daughter asked if black and white would work at today's headshot session so I [...]
Great headshot session with Tom who is looking to update his professional headshots for web and online use. With a history of working within the sports industry we were looking to capture photographs that were both relaxed but also captured a professional strength.
"Wonderful. Thank you very much." That's pretty much what one wants to hear after a headshot session, to be honest after anything one does. I know I'm not alone in thinking that ideally headshot and portrait photography is about getting to know the client first, and to be honest were it not for the fact [...]
