on stage #theatre … the ultimate #character #portrait

After a summer mostly on location and amongst other things : a short term contract working in theatre, seeing the characters evolve and record such in some Photos:

I reflect on what has been and how that shapes into where I want to be.

Having had he pleasure of sitting through weeks of rehearsals for this ambitious project of staging a nigerian play …with incredible depth … mission and vision, I feel I attuned my senses for people being in character…

Selection 8

Projecting an authentic sense of emotions and thus telling a story beyond the surface,

reminding us of all there is to human life in our increasingly shrinking global village…

Bringing this back to my preferred photography environment (well I may be swayed as film sets and theaters are just as amazing)

and I am thrilled to know what assignments and projects will be staged in front of my lens in coming weeks.

 Selection 2

With a new found love for expression, lighting, props and costumes …

(yes I still can do your straightforward fairly plain, white backdrop: actors headshot too – BUT)

I am sure to bring a new sense for play into the studio environment.

Selection 13

Stay tuned to see how the story unfolds…

SUMMER #location #portfolio SHOOT #character portraiture #actor #film

PROMO SELECTION 3

With the summer drawing to an end, I am reflecting once more on #Location #Photography, before I will retreat to the studio again – for my Photography session. Having had the pleasure to mingle with many Supporting Artists and Actors this summer on various Film and TV filmsets my insight and curiosity about this field of Photography has grown.

PROMO SELECTION

Discussing with Actors the difference between an ordinary headshot and its limitations, I have also set out to create the exact image (including carefully resourced props and location) as conceived by my clients, in order to create a new portfolio image, communicating characteristics about the sitter, perhaps not that often seen.

PROMO SELECTION 2

We have a month left or less to create some more images on location, so please get in touch with your ideas and proposals and we get creating … just the photo you need and want. A photo that may support your marketing and branding ambitions.

Looking forward hearing from you.

ON LOCATION #Headshots

  DSC_0996

I often wondered if the studio is the best place for a headshot session and I feel it has got its advantages,

…but there is something to be said about Locations Headshots. It adds a little texture and flavor to the background, hard to achieve in the studio, and quite often it gets a relaxed causal approach in the sitter.

DSC_0096

Equipped with my new set of prime lenses and a keen I eye … this is an exciting field to explore.

Please get in touch if you would like to be part of my forever growing learning curve and portfolio, Excited every time how different people are and that there is always room for more … I’d like to meet and picture more of you guys!?!? 🙂

DSC_0860

If you have a particular mood or Profile picture that you need to realize … Don’t be shy to ask, no idea or request too crazy.

Would love to hear from you!!

The world at your fingertips … #studio #photography

SELECTION 3_small

Recent Studio shoot with an Actor looking to produce new dynamic portfolio images and Headshots, made me realize – yet again – the endless opportunities,that are available and possible in the environment of Studio photography.

I always am aware and sure to shoot what we set out to produce, but the playful – some say arty- experimental part of a studio session delivers intriguing work.

 

DSC09586

As some sitters and actors recognize the opportunities and the comfort of the studio environment and when trust and rapport is established, it is throughout those 5 minutes that I find stronger work is produced.

Well those may be my favorites but playful Character Portraits, may be of interest to a more dynamic Profile, some online posting or to prompt your agent, just to remind them

…what or who else you could be.

If not just a good sport.

SELECTION 9_small

 

Thanks Julian London for being such a great client,playing along with the craziest ideas …

But hey, he did remind me … of sculptural qualities, such as Michelangelo and other Greek sculptures: Atlas sprang to mind … only that this world seems to be getting smaller!?

Please get in touch if you have ideas of your own  -or interest to see what we can produce.

Happy to work with your Budget #snaphappy #photographer.

What have you got to loose !?!
