More headshot outtakes!

[Forkie]

A couple more outtakes from the last couple of days' headshot sessions.

We have a lot of fun when I'm doing headshots and I always try to catch a proper giggle from my subjects. It's a great icebreaker and often, the shots are genuine keepers!

Is she having a "crisis" in the last one?

 

[pjaye]

Love them! Especially the first one

Nice, funny, but still flattering portraits.

Love the last one. You have some nice soft light over there...

I freakin LOVE these. There is nothing more incredible and beautiful than pure happiness. If it were me, I'd be shooting this and presenting this as a series and getting it shown as many places as possible. The world needs more of this!

That is praise indeed! Thanks!

Making it into a series is actually not a bad idea!

Brilliant, I agree totally with Brickhouse.

Haha, yeah me too!

Luckily, some of the non-laughing ones are even better! I'm waiting impatiently for each of the girls to choose the shots they want so I can get to editing them!

 

[mishele]

These definitely made me smile! Thanks for sharing them!!

Update: Here are some the "official" ones I particularly liked from the shoots.

These three sessions have produced some of the best portraits/headshots I've ever taken. Since buying my own strobes, my confidence in lighting has really shot up and my photography is coming on leaps and bounds. I have to restrain myself from editing all of the shots I took over the last couple of days!

There isn't even that much editing in these. Blemish removal, slight colour correction, crop and sharpen is basically all I did on these.

A bit off topic, but could you explain your light setup for these shots? I notice more than one light in the eyes, so Im curious of the setup. Great outcome for sure.
