The art of taking a remarkable headshot photograph relies on four (4) factors:

• the Photographer;
• YOU, the subject of the photo shoot;
• Photographer's rapport with YOU;
• Light / Composition... to photograph is to draw with light.

 

Consider your Los Angeles headshot photographer as you would a partner in a business. If you are an actor, actress or model, your business is you ! A headshot photographer's job is to capture the you that will get you your desired role. The more your photographer knows you, the better the chances that your desired look will be captured and the more relaxed and trusting you grow.

• A good headshot photographer uses light creatively to make the photograph speak. Thankfully, there's alot of light in sunny Los Angeles at all time of year.
• Headshot photographs emote energy and most certainly can tell a story in a photograph. What story do you want to tell with your headshot? Review the photographer's entire portfolio of images especially child headshots. Photographing children can be a difficult proposition if the photographer is not tuned into the child's interests and needs. Review any essay or photo blogging work they've done as well as stock, fashion, product or commerical images. Look for creativity and imagination and how they employ light or the lack of light to enhance an image or give it a different feel.
• A good headshot photographer gets to know you, your desired look, your career intentions and roles you are targeting, all before the first meeting takes place.
• Have fun in your photography session. The energy emoted will add a dimension so often missing in headshots today.
