Are really just a special type of portrait. They’re specifically photos that are designed to show someone else who won’t have met you who you are and ideally, lets face it, should encourage them to want to meet you. They should focus mostly on your face and be simple and give a good representation of you. Whereas a portrait might show you playing a trumpet, lying in your bed or standing on your hands, a headshot wouldn’t usually do any of those things. They need to be simple and straight forward, BUT… Even if we can’t put you in some amazing environment or really fancy clothes, Nowhere does it say that we can’t keep it elegant and simple and still put work into showing you off at your best. We’ve all had that experience of sitting opposite someone  and noticing that they look more amazing than usual in a certain light. That’s kind of what we are going for. That’s what I’m here to help you with. Your job is to give some thought to how you want to be perceived and why and to tell me about that before we shoot, it’s to think ahead and show up as fresh and rested as you can and when we do shoot to be as trusting and brave as possible and to let as much of yourself shine into the lens as you can. My job is partly just to create an environment that makes that possible and to be there to receive what shines out of you, your personality, your essence in some way…
