Why lighting and posing for headshots is critical
Only trust your new headshots to a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP). This may be a bold statement but it is one that I truly believe will bring you the most success in your quest for a new professional headshot. Yes, anyone with a camera can take a headshot. However, a Certified Professional Photographer has proven ability to control lighting and posing to create the most flattering headshot. During the CPP certification process, a photographer learns to master the 3:1 ratio for lighting. This lighting ratio creates a pleasing effect on the face where one side is 1.5 times brighter than the other. The shadow side of the face should have plenty of detail. The shadow side serves to slim the face when used in a short lighting pose.
Headshots for Dawn
Dawn called me with a need for a new headshot in short order. With a deadline quickly approaching, we were able to schedule and deliver a fully edited and retouched headshot. She was able to meet her deadline and loves her new headshot! We used lighting and posing to create a very flattering portrait for Dawn. The textured grey background is complimented by her black top. And the pop of blue in her jewelry is just the right amount of sparkle.
