“But what does
that mean for me?”
I
suppose it means you should poke around my website, look at my galleries, and
see for yourself! I shoot in
natural lighting, so colors are vibrant and faces really pop.
Working outside also gives me the freedom to shoot anywhere. If there’s a location you have in mind, let me know!
We can check it out. Are you
going for a specific look? Edgy?
Girl-next-door? Leading man?
All of these factor into location, and without the limits of a studio,
it’s possible to achieve several of these looks in one shoot.
“So,
you’re saying I don’t have to sit in a stuffy room, with backdrops, and hot
lights melting my face…”
Yes!
That is exactly what I am saying! Plus,
there are no limits to fun things for actors to climb, jump, or swing on.
What I’m saying is, let’s get your creative juices flowing!
You want to show yourself, but you also want to stand out.
Shooting outside gives both of us the versatility to get great headshots!
“Alright, that all
sounds good, but what about makeup?”
I
find that natural looking makeup works best.
You want to enhance your look, not hide it.
I don’t do makeup, but I do know makeup artists who I can refer you to,
or your can bring your own.
“Well,
I like your website, and your pictures are pretty cool… but I’m just so
overwhelmed by the number of photographers out there!”
And
you’re not alone. I remember
spending weeks looking for my first photographer.
There is a massive number of us, in all variety of suit.
Many do excellent work, but charge a lot of money, or prefer studio work
which results in (I think) boring pictures.
The best thing is to do what you’re doing now- search our websites,
bookmark your favorites. If you like what you see here, give me a call.
You can look over my books, get a feel for me, and we can discuss what it
is you’d like to achieve with your shoot.
I think the most important thing for an actor is to feel comfortable with
the photographer, so you can be relaxed enough to let me capture the real YOU,
in order to get you in the door! Remember
my job is to help you get the best headshots in order to land the agent, and the
audition. All you have to do is relax and have a good time with the
camera!
“Alright,
I’ve picked a package, now what?”
