Early last week, Patty asked me if I would take some family photos for a work friend whose husband was being deployed to the Middle East right after Thanksgiving. I had taken their photos before, and I was looking forward to seeing what I could improve upon.
In mid-August, I was contacted by the team captain for the NoVA Mutiny wheelchair (“quad”) rugby team. He asked me if I would be willing to take some promotional shots that he could use to advertise what the team was up to, in particular, to help attract sponsors, as the Fall season was just starting. This is a great cause, and one that I enjoy supporting. Therefore, it was a no-brainer!
Patty recently became a Creative Memories consultant, and so she needed a headshot to post on their website. So on December 24, 2017, I set up the camera, lights, reflectors and backdrop to capture her in flattering portraiture.
On November 18, 2017 I had an opportunity to take headshots for a friend who needed them for her business cards. This provided the impetus for me to study-up on headshot techniques that the professionals use, and to make a few upgrades to my equipment and software, so that I could apply some of those techniques myself (‘Always looking to up my game.). This was just my second foray into headshot photography.
