Creative photo sessions

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.

If you are interested in creating something for yourself, don’t hesitate to email so we can start planning something special. amy@amyjphoto.com

Theatrical Headshots

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.

First headshots for a new actor….

Life is short, change your focus, learn something new…why not?! This very handsome guy decided to give acting and commercial print work a try in his 40’s and I think he is going to do very well! This was his first headshot session so we decided to do some character shots along with traditional headshots to show off his range.

Client Spotlight

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.

Client spotlight: Casey Hayes- Deats

Casey came to me wanting some varied character headshots. We discussed her “types” and she felt like she would do best with “kindergarten teacher” “girlfriend” “lawyer” and of course we did one that was just her everyday look.

She was fantastic! She brought a wonderful variety of colorful clothing as well as business attire. Casey was also not afraid to get into character and give me lots of great expressions.

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.

Planning for your actor headshot session

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.
