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 [...]
I’d been meaning to do this for a while and have just picked up a few more scrim/reflector panels which gave the opportunity for this ten-minute test. This is known as the booklight setup and it's used quite a lot by the filumn guys, (moving images not the luddites). The idea is to [...]
A great fun and collaborative portrait photography session in our Exeter headshot studio! To cut to the chase... Got the Shots Andrew. Thanks to a job well done! It's always pleasing when a client expresses their pleasure and it was genuinely good fun photographing Chris, I'll take his comment 'I had a laugh' [...]
The things I get Karin to do during Lockdown 2020! Someone had challenged me to post something on the "Recreate artworks with things you find at home" Facebook page, so I did a bit of thinking. I was originally looking for a Vermeer to use as a reference point but the Annie Leibovitz [...]
