Black and White or Colour Headshots

Olivia visited the Devon Headshot studio recently in Southernhay, Exeter, and it was a fabulous session. This was an extended session where we allowed ourselves the time to explore a few ideas. Nowadays most digital shots start as a colour file; I seriously considered a Leica Monochrom but, it is seriously expensive! So files need [...]

Location Headshot Photography: Formal and Informal

Setting up studio in the Devon County Agricultural Association at Westpoint near Exeter we recently shot a series of relaxed studio headshots followed by some relaxed conversational headshots taken outdoors. With a team of around ten members this is an intrusive way of ensuring an organisation can present a strong and professional image [...]

Exeter School Headshots

Two recent visits to Exeter School to photograph headshots a couple of days apart, and although it wasn't strictly necessary there seemed to be a sense in replicating the style even though the shoots were to be in different locations within the school. We decided to go for an up-beat high-key approach with the sitters [...]

Afternoon Headshot with Marie

Marie popped into the studio late afternoon so as not to intrude with work schedules. I always suggest headshot sitters allow time to relax and choose a suitable time not to be frazzled by work, Marie seems to have achieved both! The relaxed images are in preparation for new business ventures.

Summer Breeze in Exeter Headshot Studio

Lizzie and her mother visited the studio yesterday, the last time I had a mother and daughter visit Sophie was in the seat with her daughter directing, but this time the roles were reversed with daughter under the lights. Lizzie was looking for headshots to be used in support of her dance and drama activities [...]

Corporate and Accessible Headshots

Sam came to our Exeter photography studio with a firm idea of what she wanted to achieve with her headshots, basically professional yet accessible and friendly. This direction always helps set the tone of an image although the photographic style of the headshot portrait can still be very varied. With a large number of lighting [...]

Give it Your Best Shot

There are two people primarily involved involved in headshot photography, the photographer and the sitter. Jason was the consummate professional, having worked in front of the camera in TV he was well prepared and aware of his target audience (make that three people). Looking for a certain style of image we shot principally [...]

Headshots for Models

Scott recently visited the Exeter headshot photography studio looking for a set of images to send to modelling agents. The shot shown above was number two in the sequence of shots, taken as I was setting the lights up and exactly as he had stepped into the studio. And whilst he hadn't even taken his [...]
