Headshot Session Process
-
Are you aware of your preferred 'good side'? Many people tend to favor being photographed from the left side of their face. The side you choose to part your hair on can also play a role in determining this. Discovering your optimal angle is a big step in ensuring you present yourself well in your headshot. I can share techniques to minimize the 'double chin' effect and provide insights into how body language influences the perception of your strength.
-
The key to a standout headshot? Your expression! During our session, we'll focus on capturing the exact personality vibe you're aiming for. I'll guide you on how your mouth, eyes, and eyebrows work together to shape your expression. Rest assured, you'll come across as the confident, approachable, and intriguing professional you truly are. Let's make those images speak volumes!
-
Assessing image details on the back of a camera can be tricky, which is why I opt for shooting tethered into a laptop computer. The moment we capture a shot, it pops up on the large screen, allowing us to review and get your instant feedback. This real-time collaboration helps me address any issues on the spot, ensuring we get the best possible images without discovering problems later. It's all about achieving perfection during the shoot!
-
The finishing touches come in with retouching, a crucial step. Poor retouching can quickly ruin a shot. I believe in maintaining the natural texture of the skin without unnecessary blurring. Using advanced retouching techniques, I ensure that everything looks authentic. From basic color correction to blemish removal, fixing stray hairs, addressing glare in glasses, and achieving an even skin tone—I work to make everyone shows as the best versions of themselves in the final image.
