Took my first head shots ever last week. Interesting experience, I never thought about how fun it can be to make someone give you a certain look. The things you have to say, to make them laugh, to make them cringe, to inspire them to move to a look you have invisioned in your head is well, hilarious. “Your a dragon” and “now your a mob boss” come to mind. Sometimes all you gotta say is give me a smirk or a smile and you get lucky.
Anyway, the model is Sophia. She’s an aspiring pop singer from Miami, FL. I’m calling this one right now, I’m getting in on the ground floor. This girl is going to be huge one day! She’s already a little famous in my book. Had very little time to shoot, but boy did we pack the fun.
Check the shots out here. Usually I research and plan before a shoot, but this time the clock was against me, and I had a job to do. My entire knowledge of headshots came from a brief experience observing one of the head shot masters, Peter Hurley. Check out his work out here. I’m happy with my results, I gotta fill more from below next time. Can’t wait to try again!
