Aspiring Young Actor

Last week, I had the pleasure of photographing this young lady. Riley, 10 1/2 years old, is an aspiring actor. She needed headshots for  for an upcoming national auditioning event. Riley came to the studio with her mom, and we had Maria Dominici, the fabulous makeup artist, who applied a very light and natural makeup on Riley.  The image above will be used for her picture on a comp card to give out at the auditions. I wanted a natural, fresh and engaging feel for this image, and Riley was able to deliver the look with ease.

Here are a few more images from the shoot:

Yes, those are her real eyelashes! Are you jealous, Ladies?

Riley is a charming, engaging young girl with lots of spunk and personality. And she certainly won me over when she told me she’d chosen me over the other photographers because I was the best looking one they considered. Ha! She’s going to do well in the world of acting.  Can’t wait to see her name in big lights on Broadway!

 

Is there a budding young actor in your family? I’d love to photograph her or him!

Recent Model Shoot

Today I’m posting a couple of images from a recent shoot with Nicky, a college student and aspiring model, with whom I’ve worked several times. Joanna Kirchon did the lovely makeup for these pictures. 

In both of these images, I’m trying some new ideas on backgrounds. In the image above, we shot on a white background. I laid in the red/pink in a Photoshop “plug-in” program called Nik Color Efex Pro. The idea was to complement the color of the lips.

In the second image, we also shot on a white background. I laid in the background picture, which is actually a stock photo I purchased. Lots of editing to try to get the two images to fit together believably.

Thank you, Nicky and Joanna for a great shoot!

My new friend, Matt Shea, does video production – plus a lot of other things around various forms of media. In fact, his business name, which says it best, is Matt of All Media. Check out Matt’s website.  Matt asked me to take some pictures that could be used on his website and for other purposes. We had a fun shoot creating these images last week.

Matt is a real pro and a nice fellow to boot. He’s preparing a short marketing video for me (stay tuned!).  If you need a video produced for your business, talk to Matt.
