I started in Photography a fair while back and changed to portrait/headshots totally by accident. I attended a wedding- studio course and found that I was much more interested in studio work.- than weddings!
I'm presently focusing on fashion work and portfolio, both in and out of the studio. I'm mainly self taught; I have enclosed some images and comment - thoughts would be very much appreciated.
They're all competent to excellent. The last two are the best. If you are in London then you might want to think about shooting actor's headshots. Do some google research for articles by casting agents etc on what they look for - I think the fourth shot would go a long way at getting an actress a test for a gritty dramatic role.
It's maybe worth reading Pete Hurley's book if you haven't. And the shots you've posted with hands in are great - hands are one of the most difficult parts of headshot photography, so again, impressive!
David: Apologies for the delay in responding. many thanks for the kind comments Likewise for the two suggestions which I'll follow both up. Best wishes and again thanks. Doug
