Andrea came into the studio yesterday to get some headshots made.
Andrea is awesome for a number of reasons, the main reason being that she arrived with a book of tear sheets! Marvelous!!! She wanted something with a bit more edge than traditional headshots, so I tried my best to give the photos some fashion.
The ads she brought in were largely black and white images that were really gritty and grainy. Some had dramatic lighting, others were flat but with models with really intense expressions.
Sometimes people ask me why my job takes so much time. One of the reasons is the editing – editing and retouching does take a ton of time, but editing down the photos can often be the biggest challenge. I shot a little over 200 frames of Andrea and it is proving impossible to narrow them down. One of the photographer’s most important jobs is to make something overwhelming – like 200 frames – into something more reasonable for a client to choose from. I am really struggling with Andrea’s set – there are just too many! She only blinked once – that is unheard of.
Pssst – don’t forget to become a fan of Leah LaRiccia Photography on Facebook!
