The beautiful Bernice joined us in the studio the other evening for a session of black and white photos. Needless to say she was wonderful in front of the camera as you can clearly see here. Great working with you, Bernice! Hoping we get to do this again soon.

Another image of the lovely Tanya ( https://www.instagram.com/tanyanikonovaa/ ) from our recent session in the studio. Here we took a sharp change of direction from the light, high-key feel to some low-key work. Either way, Tanya shines in front of the camera 🙂

Maria came to the studio to do some shots for her blog and other promotional images. This is one of my favorites from yesterday’s shoot, where we simulated window light in the studio.
Here there is a 6″ fresnel spotlight attachment on a Godox AD300 pro directed at maria from camera left and behind. Another AD300 is pointed at the wall in the same corner to give the impression of window light coming from camera left. Above and in front of Maria is another AD300 in a Phottix Raja 65 softbox.

That smile! Zemfira dropped by the studio yesterday for some time in front of the camera and in a short time we ended up with a lot of “keepers”. This one is easily my favorite, with that brilliant and engaging smile. There’s plenty more to share, so keep an eye on this space 🙂

One of the loveliest profiles I’ve had the pleasure to photograph. Marina is absolutely owning the space in front of my lens here. I mean, “Wow!”, right?!
(that may sound a bit self-serving, but I’m going to be OK with that)

Headshot of the Week! taking a different turn this week with a natural light, outdoor session. Luz came out to do a shoot with us in the Turia dressed in a kimono she was wearing to a Hatsugama tea event that day. And yes, there are pictures coming to this space this week from this shoot. Today I thought this made for a lovely and different look for this last Headshot of the Week! for January 2023.

The beautiful Tanya lighting up the studio with this shot from our session on Friday. The set-up for this one was different from the typical front-lit situation. I have two reflectors positioned in front of her, with the strobes firing towards the camera direction. This creates the super smooth wrap-around lighting effect.
Plus, I get some great hair light where the camera-right strobe spills over on to her side. It doesn’t hurt that she’s lovely either 🙂
Tanya is also a talented photographer herself, and you can see her work here: https://www.instagram.com/tanyanikonovaa/

The lovely Marina crushing it in front of the camera the other day in the studio. She really brought her A-Game during our session with a bunch of great poses and ideas.
