Headshot Photographer Leicester
New Year, New Me, New Headshot.
Time for a headshot or portrait upgrade?
You’d think i’d have an up to date headshot wouldn’t you??
Turn out my last headshot was done during the pandemic, around May 2020!!!
Definitely time to get a fresh one sorted. I waited till I had a morning free, & set up in my living room when everyone else was out. Also, i’d had a haircut the day before, so I was feeling all fresh!
Sony camera with 50mm lens (normally use 85 but I was stuck on space!), two strip/soft boxes with studio flash units, and a pop up dark textured backdrop was all that was needed!.
I tethered the camera straight to Capture One Pro on my iPad Pro and started remotely firing the the camera. After doing all the charity vlogs last year I feel way more comfortable in front of the camera and only had to do minor coaching on myself!
I did a couple of wardrobe changes, to add a little interest and colour and that was it.
Here is my new 2024 Headshot
2024 Headshot, taken with my mobile studio… in my lounge!
Taking the photo is only stage one.
After the image was lightly edited it was then exported in various sizes and uploaded to every social platform I use for business… that would be, Linkedin, Twitter, YouTube, Google. Then my business tools like Xero, Starling and of course my email signature.
You can’t beat a consistent look across all platforms!
Now, lets see the old 2020 headshot… see how i’ve aged!
