a Baltimore/Harford County based Photography Studio
These are four examples of my photo series that is based on the look of retro Polaroid film.
I started this project as personal work, but am finding that clients are responding to this type of shoot and want me to create a special session just for them. It’s meant to appear as a fantasy image so much of the looks are created in post production.

That’s why this lovely actor came to my studio recently. She needed a commercial photo, a dramatic shot and something a bit more theatrical. Let me help you narrow down the best looks for YOU.
Although I shoot a lot of actor headshots with a more commercial feel, recently I have had more requests for theatrical headshots. I am enjoying the change to a bit more dramatic, simple lighting and backgrounds that really let the strength of the subject’s features take center stage.

The talented Matthew Crawford. This gentleman is not only a Baltimore/DC theater actor and instructor but also specializes in stage combat. If you have ever attended the Maryland Renaissance Festival, you may have seen him in action! There is no doubt in my mind we will see him do more TV and film roles very, very soon.
2023 has been busy and fun. I have had many new headshot clients as well as some returning advertising clients. These are samples from my recent shoots.
These were Emma’s first headshots. She is a talented young actor in her mid 20’s but clearly she has an age range of 16-25. We had a great time creating headshots to show off her varied looks. These are samples of my 3 look headshot session.
Headshot sessions have been off the hook lately…back to doing my favorite kind of work. Some are actors, some models, some business portraits and I love all these sessions.
If you are planning to update your headshots, be sure to think about what types of roles you are most likely to book. It’s important to get a simple, polished photo that just shows YOU, but you also should think about varying your other looks to better represent your “type.”
When it comes to wardrobe, I can’t stress this enough…bring choices! That doesn’t mean three or four t-shirts in different colors. Think layers, colors, different necklines keeping in mind the different looks you want to portray.
These are from a recent headshot session and I thought she did a fantastic job choosing her types and had plenty of clothing to suit each look.
