While reading an article about photographers shooting magazine covers using the RED Camera, I saw a video from Esquire Magazine with “behind the scenes” footage from their recent Sexiest Woman Alive magazine shoot with Kate Beckinsale (may be a touch NSFW and PG-13).
This weekend, I received a comment on a recent post about professional headshots and it brought up an ongoing misconception that many actors have:
‘Even lighting, shallow depth of field, and a 10 minute photoshop touchup are not hard to explain… Guys like you are greedy @$$holes that spread disinformation.’
You’ve done your research, figured out your type, hired the best head shot photographer in New York City, and now it’s time for your headshot session… the session date is looming.
Now how do you look your best for your headshot?
It’s no secret that our nation is in a financial crisis, and between the already plunging economy, the effects of the Writer’s Guild strike, and the possibilities of a SAG strike, many actors and actresses in need of the best headshots money can buy, instead find themselves buying the cheapest head shot they can find. This is not a good thing!
