Maraam - A quick headshot

[Austin Greene]

My co-worker, a political science major, recently got accepted into a fellowship with a firm over in Washington DC. She needed a headshot for the organization to use on their information page, so I thought we'd give it a shot. Generally she's pretty uncomfortable in front of cameras, but I felt like it worked out well enough for 15 minutes of shooting on a rainy day.

What do you think?

VERY nice light. Expression look uncomfortable but nothing you can do about it.

Yep, it works. Maybe in future consider posing the subject a little less square to the camera.

I like it! Very pleasing light.

Looks fine for that, well done.

I think the image is great, but my eyes go straight to the fly away hair on the left of the photo. The exposure is impeccable though.

That was my thought too.
