HEADSHOT: IN THE LIGHT

THOMPSON and SPRING Photography specializes in child, family and maternity photography, but that doesn't mean that is all I will do.

My husband needed a new corporate headshot, so he asked me if I would do the honors. Of course I was happy to oblige, he is after all one of my favorite subjects. The shoot was short and smooth; so different to working with children who are not yet able to be directed. However, it was not without its challenges. This was the first time I was photographing my husband as corporate professional, rather than as a loving husband and father, so the vibe was different. I also had to get him to relax enough so that his smile would be genuine and open.

I am happy with the results and so is my husband. He told me the photos I took of him were miles better than those that were taken by the photographer his company had hired a few months back.

A headshot is a headshot, so I wont bore you with ever so slightly different tilts of the head. Instead I wanted to show you how different a photo can look depending on how you manipulate it.
