(Above) Headshot for VFX artist Robin
Robin is a VFX artist who travels between Los Angeles and Canada. She needed a headshot for her new VFX job and it needed to match the other employees.
Matching headshots to staff page
The other headshots on the company’s staff page were dark and heavily shadowed and we needed to match those. When I need to mimic a certain look, I have the images on my laptop so I can refer to them during the session. I want to get as close to the look as possible.
I used my black vflat and pulled it close to the window. I’m lucky that I have windows in my studio and plenty of natural light. The windows give me plenty of options and natural light is very bright and flattering. Instead of directly facing into the light, I had Robin face me so the light came from the side. This created the deep shadow on her face that matched the other headshots.
Hair and Makeup services for headshots
I work with talented stylists who have years of experience and have worked on numerous weddings and film sets. They come with large kits with every kind of makeup and hair product you can imagine.
They’ll listen to you and what your makeup and hair needs are, then create the look you love. Robin wanted her long hair down and styled in soft waves, and she wanted her makeup minimal and natural-looking.
Retouching headshots
We’ll talk about what level of retouching you prefer so your photos are exactly how you want them. Retouching is included with every headshot session.
