Lighting & Colour
Lighting sets the tone of a headshot, and I tailor it to suit business or acting portfolios. Whilst colour plays a huge part on how a headshot feels. The right tones can brighten your skin, soften shadows or add pop. Neutrals work well for corporate images, while richer colours suit actor headshots. If you’d like help choosing a palette, tools like Adobe Color are great for exploring combinations that are proven complimentary colours that photograph beautifully.
