Headshot tests.
Recently got interested in the headshot photography world, and invited some friends to do some tests. Hope to improve and share next shots. Regards.

I must admit I have been lax in both my shooting and posting recently, perhaps due to the fact my wife has now retired, and we are spending a LOT more time together doing various activities.

An afternoon out on the water
It was mid September late in the afternoon, a group of sailboats were out on the water enjoying the weather, there was a soft breeze blowing, pushing on the sails.

Like these. Top one the best. To me the bottom one, the eyes seem to be a little bit off, looking too much to the left. Would have liked to see them more centered. MHP.
Hi Lee, Thank you for your comment. I will try some with a little less head turn. That´s a good tip. Thanks.
The head turn is fine. it's he eyes that need some correction. It's like he is trying to keep his head in one direction while looking a totally different way with his eyes.
I agree with Lee. Also the lower one seems to be losing some details in his cheeks and forehead. I’m on my phone so it hard to see, but I can see detail in the top photo through out.
Hi Pamela, in fact i might over exaggerated a bit in skin softness. After a wile, i also started to think the same. Thank you for your comment.
These are wonderful portraits. As an actor/director/ photographer for many years I just wanted to chime in and make the distinction between a headshot and a portrait. You’ve done a beautiful job of dramatically lighting these guys and conveying a mood. In headshot photography, agents will look these days for color, mostly natural light images. They’ll want to see hair color, eye color etc... and a clear no nonsense but professionally done image. I totally love Jordan Matter - his style is impeccable. Have a look at his stuff. And I don’t mean to be a troll with you at all. This is beautiful work.
