Creative young actor headshots made in studio in Pacific Grove California

My first young actor headshot session with Joseph was back in April of this year. How much can things change in 8 months, well, just take a look at the photos from that first shoot! When he arrived with his mom, Kristen, to my photo studio in Pacific Grove, I noticed right away and the style of headshot shoot we did this time reflected the new roles that Joseph is now ready to take on by looking older. Kristen had sent me some guidelines from Joseph’s agent for this shoot helping me prep the studio for the new style of headshots the agent wanted this time. For this session, I shot with a single light, and Joseph was seated on a posing stool for most of them, and then the biggest change was shooting with a shallower DoF and tighter in. Then, the agent provided guidelines wanting a more natural look, so a bit of imperfection in the hair for example was actually good! I really like the results we got in a session that took less than an hour, but yet still yielded a variety of backgrounds, wardrobe, poses, and expressions, as well as glasses on and off. Thank you Joseph and Kristen for continuing to choose me your headshot photographer!

Modern Headshots made in studio in Pacific Grove California

Fadi visited my photo studio right in downtown Pacific Grove for updated professional headshots. He brought several different shirts, ties, and jackets. Since I shoot tethered to a 43” screen, he was able to see which shirt, tie, jacket combo he liked best in real time allowing him to get the looks he liked best during his studio experience. The flexibility of my studio for headshots allows getting different wardrobe changes all within just a 30 minute photo session, not taking up a lot of time for the client, while still having a fun and creative time in front of the camera. Thank you Fadi for choosing me as your headshot photographer!

Ivan is applying for medical school and needed headshots for that application process. I told him I have done this for many other students before, so meet me at my Pacific Grove headshot photography studio and we will make some great ones for your medical school applications. I kind of feel extra excited making headshots for student applications knowing that in some small way I will be helping them continue their education dreams.

Variety in simplicity with modern business headshots in Albuquerque

Matthew visited the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for modern professional business headshots and had one look and pose and one background color he settled on that he liked. So how did I find a way to add variety to that? I changed up the lighting, and converted one of the photos to black and white as a free bonus to provide that variety. My goal as a headshot photographer is to make the headshot the client wants, and make the client look their best in that photo. Great job in front of the camera Matthew and thank you for choosing me as your headshot photographer!

Creative Professional Headshots on black background in Albuquerque with Kathy

Black background headshots make a strong impact

Kathy visited the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico wanting an updated modern headshot. We used several different background colors, but as many clients increasingly do, she chose both of her headshots on the bold look of the black background. Giving headshot clients options is what I strive for as they may think they wanted one background color, and until you see yourself on other colors, you may be surprised how much you like something you never even considered. Of course, all photo shoots here at Jason Collin Photography are using Covid-19 safe practices which I detail in this video. Thank you Kathy for choosing me as your headshot photographer and to her husband John for recommending me to her!

Professional Headshot for Physical Therapist in Albuquerque New Mexico with Bettina

September 15, 2020 in Commercial, Portrait

Listen to headshot clients, deliver great results!

Listening to what my clients want is something I like to think I do very well. So to read Bettina’s review of our headshot shoot was very satisfying to me as she said, “took the time to learn what my vision / goal was.” For her shoot, she wanted black and gray backgrounds, and I made sure that the position of her glasses relevant to the camera lens looked the best (i.e. no artifacting causing doubles nor any glare). Bettina was very good in front of the camera, so we were able to take a few shots, proof them together, then refine things exactly in the second round of headshots. Then to receive such a wonderful review made me happy knowing I was able to deliver great headshots for my client. Thank you again Bettina!
