I don't promote doing headshots but people in the industry know they can contact me for them. Recently I shot a beautiful woman named Rachel, who is Way Chill Reiki, a new business endeavor and a very good friend. When you meet her you can feel the positive energy surrounding her. She needed headshots for her website and promotional materials. I wanted images that reflected the power that is in her touch. Not an easy task for someone working in still images.
She hired a professional makeup artist which I always recommend and chose a hairstyle that reflects her personality. I had her send me some snapshots of tops she was planning on wearing. I kept receiving these photographs of printed tops that looked like something a much older woman would wear and certainly not who she is. So, me being a friend, told her to stop by after her video shoot and we would choose something from my closet for her headshots. I already had 3 solid tees pulled for her as I knew they would look awesome with her coloring. I placed the mirror against the wall and held the tee up in front of her. Her expression went to 1000% bright and smiling. Suddenly this gorgeous woman went from gorgeous to hot, hot, hot! Plum is definitely her color.
You never want your clothing to upstage you.
Prints and overly bright colors along with busy jewelry tends to overpower the beautiful you. My girl is already beautiful and in great shape, she just needed a reminder about posture and how to choose the best color for her.
Does she not shine???
I also am including a black and white artsy shot that shows just how chill and relaxed her demeanor.
