Corporate Headshot
Not So Corporate Headshot
Sometimes when we shoot corporate headshots for women, we save “the best for last” just for fun and toss in a few shots for their significant other if we (and they) have time. This is always fun if they are interested and oddly enough sometimes ends up being the better photos for the whole session. Of course, they usually don’t fit the occasion or purpose but when a client can “cast caution to the wind” we are happy to accommodate and encourage. Take Melissa, for example who arrived ready for a business portrait to help market her services for a local Dallas Real Estate company. We shot plenty of nice headshots for her with a few changes of outfits and backgrounds. After we figured we had her headshot nailed, Melissa let her hair down (literally.) This led to some interesting possibilities, some of which worked out for her corporate shot as well (not shown here.) But the most fun we had was stretching out a bit with some horizontal frames, taking out the color, adding grain, etc. Oddly enough, both Melissa and I agreed in retrospect that not only were the shots at the end of the session fun, they rivaled the more “corporate ones” she came in for.
