I need a “headshot”.

August 19, 2016

Headshots are becoming more important as LinkedIn, social media sites and corporate webpages are critical to business success. It’s actually a quick process – less than 30 minutes – to get a few options to use for your professional image.

Most of my clients like to have two different outfits for the photo shoot. I also provide at least one black & white image, which can come in handy if needed for newspapers or a special look.

If I’m shooting at your location, we will need to talk in advance so I can bring the appropriate backdrop colors. If you are coming to my studio, make sure to bring items to freshen up (makeup, brush, hairspray, etc).

Lastly, if you need your corporate logo included with your image, you will need to provide that to me. It’s easy to add a logo with my editing software.

Can my pet be in the picture?

August 13, 2016

So I should probably let you know that my company name came from my dog, Miles. He’s a bit of a ham, so you may see some pics of him or his brother Quincy on the site. And you will surely run into him at my studio. That said, I love the love that pets give their humans. I’d be honored to capture that with you or your family. (In the spirit of complete honesty, I may draw a line with spiders…. sorry!)

I would want to talk to you about the best times for your pet to be in a calm state. Also, what are his/her favorite toys that will pique their interest as I’m clicking the shutter. There are a number of ways to get them to look right into my shutter, but you need to be patient with the process. Sometimes they just don’t know what’s going on, but don’t worry – we will capture the right pic.

What should I wear?

August 13, 2016

This is probably the most frequently asked question I get. So here are some ideas for you to consider.

Based on your decision, I will select the most suitable background. For instance, if you want to wear dark clothes, I would use a lighter backdrop as opposed to a basic black. If you have bright or white tops, I’d probably use the black curtain backdrop so you will “pop” on the pic.

For a professional headshot, let’s think in terms of a couple different outfits. Plan to bring more than one suit / top to wear for all the shots. We will use multiple backdrops and I’ll also explore with color and black & white exposures to give you the professional look you are going for.

If it’s a group picture, think about colors that work for everyone. You may want to wear red for the “Dawgs”, but if your family’s skin tone or hair color aren’t complementary, then we can explore other ways to show your pride. Maybe we pick a more suitable color and include the iconic bulldog in the group shot.

One other note on group shots… most people like to wear one color top and another color bottom, i.e. jeans with a white shirt. While this works quite well, you may also choose to alternate colors by generation or gender. For instance, have all the first descendants in blue, and their children in white. Or all the men is white polo’s with the women in turqoise tops.

I’ll leave you with this… some of my best shots are the warm up shots without all the pre-planned wardrobe selections. This captures the real essence of the subject. Remember – it’s not bad to be you. 🙂
