This is an environmental headshot photograph which was taken in South Florida. While many people expect their headshots taken inside a studio, again a solid backdrop. some people prefer a headshot taken out in nature. Outdoor headshots look completely different than indoor headshots for many reasons. One of the largest differences is lighting. As a South Florida headshot photographer, it’s up to me to work with one main light source, the sun. It’s not like I can move the sun into different positions as if the sun was on a light stand. However, I could change the position of the subject. By turning the person being photographed I can use the sun as a main light, or a backlight. By using a flash I could add extra light it make a persons face look fantastic. One factor that helps to make a great headshot is the addition of a catch light in the person’s eyes. Often the catch-light is created with a flash, other times I’ll use a reflector, and sometimes I’ll turn the person in such a way that the sun makes a catch light. The catch-light in a person eyes will bring out the color and make the entire portrait come to life. This portrait which was taken in South Florida is more of a portrait, and not a headshot. However, with more cropping it will make a great headshot as well.
Over the years working as a professional headshot photographer, I have learned that the first obstacle to creating the best looking portraits, wedding pictures, and headshots are the comfort level of the person being photographed. Before many of my headshot sessions, I have heard from clients, a wide range of concerns regarding how they look. Some people are afraid that their nose is too big, or their eyes have bags, or they have skin issues. The list of complaints about peoples faces goes on and on. Having these worries about how you will look will result in a feeling of nervousness, tenseness, and being embarrassed. When someone feels like this it’s impossible for him or her to smile naturally, and to visually convey a look of being a friendly, fun person that others would want to get to know. The point of having a really great headshot is to allow others to put a face to your name, and to convey a look that says, I don’t even know this person, but I like them already. I have spoken to many people who have been looking for business headshot photographers in Fort Lauderdale, in taking with some of these people, I have found that it’s nerves that keep people form getting that beautiful headshot they desire.
Headshot & Personal Branding Photographer In Fort Lauderdale & Miami
BELOW: The photo below is an example of soft flat lighting used for an indoor headshot. Sometime clients prefer to use there headshot as black and white images and other times people prefer color. All my images are shot in color and then processed as black and white. This way they get both options.
This black and white headshot was taken in a Boynton Beach home. I was hired to take family portrait pictures at a home for the winter holidays. While I was shooting the family portraits I was informed that the mother needed a headshot for her job. When I shoot my headshot pictures I always try to find a simple background that is not too distracting. So the question became, where? I was able to find a white wall that was just big enough to cover the background. For lighting I used an electronic flash bounced off the wall behind me. By using bounce flash I was able to get soft even lighting.
As one of the best business headshot photographers in Fort Lauderdale it’s up to me to convey to the person being photographed that they will look great, and that their headshot will be their way to put their best foot forward. Having been in the photography business for over 25 years I have learned a few thing about how to make people look their best. The first step is for the photographer to take pictures in such a way as to convey that they know what they are doing. What I photographer says when they are working, how a photographer explains posing and how a headshot photographer reacts to the person being photographed, all play a role in creating the subjects attitude, and the final results. In addition to being a skilled headshot photographer, I’m also a talented photo retouch artist. I can retouch and fix almost anything in a photograph. If my photo retouch skills could be translated into real plastic surgery, I’d be a billionaire. However, the issue is it’s almost impossible to retouch a bad expression. So the first mark of a highly skilled South Florida headshot photographer is to put the subject at ease, and to convey that they will look awesome in the finished picture. So the question is, how could a photographer do that? First, when being photographed the client or subject needs to feel that the photographer is going to take charge and direct the person being photographed. The act of giving direction leads the subject to believe someone is actually “Making the photograph” There is a huge difference between taking a picture and making a picture.

She told me she had hired a wedding photographer, but she had to fire him. I asked, Why? she said the engagement shoot didn’t go well. The photographer gave no direction, and the bride is a dentist, not a model. No doubt she has a beautiful smile, but unless someone shows her how to pose. She is going to be uncomfortable and and just won’t look natural. I have learned the art of posing from many different world renowned photographers. Some of what I have learned just feels right, or I embrace that, the other ways of posing that is not “Me”. I let go. The result is that my clients have this feeling that they will just look great. They are right. When you combine good posing, with great technical ability and expert photo-retouching the pictures will look amazing. If you are looking for a headshot photography in South Florida it’s important to hire someone who can shoot and retouch.

Here is an example of a simple headshot with soft lighting and additional excitement created by some extra frontal lighting. There is that catch light again. One of the rules of beauty photography has to do with the lens choice. This South Florida headshot was captured using a Canon 70-200, 2.8 lens. Using a long lens such as a 200mm creates what is know as portrait compression. In a portrait or headshot taken with a long lens the facial features are compressed. This means the nose appears flattened again the face, the eye sockets appear more shallow and the background looks like it’s pressed closer to the persons face. A long lens also helps
