Color headshot of actor and model Ember. You want to know the a simple difference between someone that is just starting out in acting vs someone that has been doing it for a while? Usually, it's in the number of clothing changes they bring to a headshot session. Unless they're trying to cast for a specific role, veterans almost always bring multiple changes of clothing to their sessions. Another difference is that someone seasoned already has a good idea what looks good on them and fits them. And so they bring what they know works for them.

So, for you aspiring actors out there, when in doubt, follow the lead of veterans.

Here's the original, straight out of camera image of Natalia Pillgrim. Here again, you can see the washout on her r/ shoulder. I used constant light as the main, and flash on the backdrop.

Now, this picture right here. As much as would love to say this was an unrehearsed, "caught in the moment" type shot, truth is, it wasn't. This is the first time I'd ever taken a family portrait that had a baby in it. And I was poorly equipped to tackle this challenge.

My plan was a face forward portrait, meaning, everyone's facing the camera all smiles, all happy, one big joyous family.

The challenge of course, was that baby wasn't trying to hear me. He was totally into his big brother.

And so, rather than fight a losing battle, I took a simpler approach. I just told the family to focus on the baby. Don't look at the camera, just look at the baby and interact with him. What you see is a result of that effort.

Now, while I'm more into headshots, and floral work, i'm glad I got the opportunity to try family portraits. Something tells me this wont be the last time, either.
