Sometimes I have an unexpected headshot session, this one was in the in the middle of a furniture shoot! However it gave me the opportunity to try something different with lighting. Sorry if this writeup is a bit techie. The room has a fairly low ceiling but it is painted white as are [...]
A joint headshot with Taiko drummer and percussionist Jonathan and vocalist Matthew was needed for their upcoming CD as well as general promo work. Although the brief was for shots to be supplied in mono they (to my eyes at least) work as well as the original colour files. We took a number of shots [...]
There is a story! Giles visited the studio in need of a set images to be shot to an existing house style, but he also had need to update his own profile pictures. I think we both agreed that the house-style shots weren't what we might have chosen to do given a free hand but [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Lamprini visited the studio yesterday, yes we did do some studio shots too. The main focus on the headshot session was some natural light portrait photographs around Exeter. Working from around 8:00 in the morning the streets are reasonably quiet, cafés too although the security in the Guildhall Centre did seem overly intrusive! [...]
Given that yesterday was a trip to the dentist it was rather good fun. A 'hectic' schedule though. Task 1: Headshot Photography Set up a simple headshot studio in one of the treatment rooms. This task would have been easier if someone hadn't left a large dentists' chair in the middle of the [...]
A busy weekend at the Exeter headshot photography studio, the fist visitor Amélie arrived on Saturday morning looking for portraits to support her acting work. Mum came too although strictly as an observer while Amélie made the pre-selections! We generally run through an initial selection at the studio and upload a web galley [...]
Annette visited the our Southernhay photography studio in Exeter this week for some professional headshots. Having brought a good selection of clothing to wear we chose a couple of looks that was then developed further with different backgrounds and a subtle change of lighting setup. All in all it was a great fun [...]
