Capturing Essence: My Journey in Headshot Photography at Star Avenue Studios
Hello, I'm Kelly Barnes. My journey in photography, which began at a young age, has taken me from newspapers in Adelaide to global assignments with The Australian.
Currently, I'm proud to be a tenant at Star Avenue Studios, which has graciously invited me to share some insights as a guest writer.
One of the many reasons I cherish working at Star Avenue Studios is the unmatched shooting experience it offers. The studios are a photographer's dream, with two distinct sizes allowing for versatile setups. Whether I'm capturing a close-up headshot or a wider frame, the spaces at Star Avenue provide the perfect backdrop for my work. It's truly a pleasure to work my magic in such a conducive environment.
I wanted to share some tips on how you can prepare for a session to ensure impeccable results:
Communication with the Photographer: Before our session, let's have a dialogue about your goals and the image you wish to convey. This ensures I capture the essence of who you are and what you represent.
Wardrobe Selection: Your attire can set the tone for the headshot. Opt for solid colors, avoiding distracting patterns. Bring a few options, and together, we'll select the best fit for the camera.
Grooming and Hair: Presenting a polished look is paramount. Schedule grooming sessions a few days prior, and for makeup, aim for a natural look. If unsure, consider professional makeup services.
Rest and Hydration: A refreshed appearance is key. Ensure you're well-rested and hydrated, avoiding factors that might cause skin puffiness.
Practice Expressions and Poses: Familiarize yourself with your best angles. A little practice in front of a mirror can make our session more fluid and natural.
Bonus Tip: Relax and Trust the Process: Headshot sessions are collaborative. Trust in my expertise, and remember to relax. Authenticity shines through in photos.
A headshot is more than just a snapshot—it's a portrayal of your professional identity. I'm here to assist if you're in Adelaide and seeking a headshot that truly resonates.
