Headshot of the Week! 9-21-2020

This Headshot of the Week! comes from one of my group sessions at HCA Healthcare here in Nashville. I had a good feeling that Colleen would be a candidate for Headshot of the Week!. When she stepped into the room she was so friendly and engaging that once she gave the camera that smile this became an easy pick for HotW!. Great getting to shoot with you, Colleen!

Too Cool at the Pool

The lovely Annsely Wood showing off these CHANEL sunglasses (courtesy of  The Luxury Label Nashville) during our recent shoot at the Dive Motel in Nashville. Captured as the sun was going behind the nearby trees, the light is a mix of daylight and a Godox AD600 in a 48″ parabolic softbox with only the inner baffle in place. This produced a nice strong, yet broad light to really make this image pop. Amanda Dowd took care of the hair, makeup, as well as assisting for this shoot.

Nursing Education

A little commercial portrait work with the beautiful Vanna K. at the HCA corporate offices. When she asked if we could do some “professional” and “education” related images I jumped at the chance. Being in clinical education, it seemed like the perfect chance for me to capture some images for use in our nursing education materials. This is one of many I can add to our library of images.

Poolside at the Dive Motel

With the last few days of Summer upon us Annsley, Amanda , and I spent an afternoon shooting at the Dive Motel in Nashville the other day. The Luxury Label Nashville provided some amazing accessories for us to showcase including the necklace (Ben Amun) and earrings (Barrera) Annsley is wearing in this shot. Many more images to come so keep an eye on my feed 🙂

Sunshine’n

Jennifer Vazquez seen here bringin’ the heat in this shot taken in East Nashville. The sun was really coming down on this recent Sunday afternoon and I really loved how the sun was creating this crisp shadow of Jennifer against this wall near her home. I added in bit of extra clarity for some “crunchy goodness” to lend a bit of “edge” to the final image.
