Session Seven

Creating Acting Head Shots

In this session our objective was to collaborate with a model and to create some acting head shots. Our tutor showed us a shoot he did himself with one of his friend actors. This was a good help in giving us ideas of how to create acting photographs ourselves, using the studio. different lightings such as high key and low key lighting, but also how to interacting with the model and collaborate to get the best result. I used one of my friends that had done drama in high school, although isn't an actor. I thought this might help somewhat in her perhaps knowing what an actor would be looking for. Here are my 10 images. 

I edited these in Lightroom. I have created multiple edits so that there is more variety of tones and moods. Also to make sure I had ten photos. A lot of the photos I took when shooting weren't actually in focus. This was down to the fact that the camera lens and little specs of dust on and so the camera couldn't focus properly. Over all I really like these photographs and I feel they are very strong and definitely quite professional. I got a lot of my ideas from looking at images on Pinterest. 
Here's a small screen shot of my board that I made.
