Mabel visited the Exeter headshot studio this week with her mum. As a dance student Mabel has been asked to supply some headshots. We ran a range of looks, seating and standing with a selection of lighting options. To be clear, the image at the top is an outtake, I was setting up [...]
Eva visited the studio well prepared to present me with a range of characters to photograph! The initial task was to work a schedule for the seven wardrobe looks that Eva had brought along, she'd already sent me some pre-shots. We worked through the looks adjusting both the lighting and the backgrounds to suit. The [...]
Alastair recently visited the studio for some relaxed commercial headshots. The images were to be used on general profiles as well as a planned website. With that in mind we focused on white background shots cropped wide to allow a range of uses when used. The images will work as portrait banners with [...]
The last time I photographed Lily she was making pace running across a sports field, apparently I've not been forgiven! Many years on Lily, now studying at post-graduate level, visited for a weekend headshot session. Although actor headshots tend to be tight 8x10 crops I often shoot wider with a view to crop [...]
Recent university graduate Nicholas was looking to get a professional headshot done for corporate profile pictures and a website. A visit to our well-equipped headshot studio in Exeter resulted in a range of images plus the surprise bonus shot. I think we both agreed that Nick looked very 'film-noir' in this, personally I [...]
Actress Victoria recently visited the Exeter headshot studio for a selection of portrait styles. As well as tight 8x10 crops we also shot full length images for modelling proposals as well as more relaxed shots that would work on a personal website. We covered a lot of ground in the session with clothing [...]
Ruby recently visited the Exeter headshot photography studio with Mum! As an Exeter College student Ruby was looking for actor headshots. We managed a good range of looks, with clothing, positioning and hair-looks. As always with the actor headshots the final files are provided in both original crop as well as tighter 8x10 [...]
Harry visited the Exeter headshot studio in Southernhay a while ago! To be honest I'd assumed that I'd written it up at the time. Checking back to my diary we'd gone to Berlin a couple of days later and in the interim I'd photographed another surgeon too! Anyway, I've just photographed Harry again, [...]
A fab headshot session yesterday with the multi-talented Kit, these were for acting but Kit has many strings to her bow. Many of the shots were shot wider with a view to also being suitable for tighter 8/10 crops for her professional profiles. Some way into the session Kit mentioned that her dad [...]
Early photography and movie lights often used fresnel lenses as a way to control the light spread. Generally the light sources can be moved closer or further away to the fresnel lens to alter the spread and nature of the light. Bowens and Elinchrom have both made fresnel modifiers to allow strobes rather [...]
