HBO Screenwriters Portrait

[DanOstergren]

Today I was hired to take a portrait of a screenwriter who writes for HBO. She was referred to me by another friend of mine who has a writing fellowship at HBO who's portrait I shot a few weeks ago. She saw his portrait ( this one: A Screenwriter's Portrait- in studio ) and asked him to connect us so she could hire me. This is the shot she picked out after the shoot, and I was able to deliver it in the same day because she wanted to show it to her agent at CAA, which is a huge deal because it's really hard to have your work seen by the right people sometimes.

Lit with a single Neewer C300 flash unit with a soft box attached, a silver reflector from below for fill, and a large white V-flat for additional fill. Shot on a Canon 5D classic with a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens attached, set to f/8, 1/200th sec, ISO 50.

You are definitely getting noticed! Love to hear about your success in LA. Great portrait. She looks familiar. Is she an actress/screenwriter?

i was going to say that I have seen her before.

But regardless, your shooting is exemplary!

I will hope and pray for the very best in your photography.
Your talent is extreme and worth it!

Keep it up!

Very nice shot and like Soocom1, I believe she has shown up in some DVD movie's "Extras" section - possibly in an interview.

It sounds like LA was a good move for you.

Your skills and artistry always shine. All you need is the right audience - there's no reason you shouldn't be one of LA's premier portrait photographers.
I think we all benefit from the images you share and are behind you 100%
Go Dan!

She's an actress, so you might have seen her on TV.

Thank you so much!
