Makenzie – Headshots

Makenzie is a student at SUU. She was auditioning for an upcoming play and needed a headshot. I give a really big discount to SUU students because I am an SUU alum and I work there. My wife is also an SUU alum and I have a huge soft spot for the SUU Theatre Arts department. My wife majored in Dance and minored in Theatre, so we spent a lot of time with the theatre arts. I love it. I still get season tickets to everything and love to attend every production I can.

Andee – Headshots

I love Andee’s red hair, very beautiful. Andee has some dance auditions coming up and needed headshots. She has actually made an appearance on my blog before. She was the summer fairy in the recent Cinderella ballet production I photographed. A very talented dancer. During dance performances, most dancers wear fake eyelashes. Something you didn’t know maybe. Well, Andee doesn’t. She doesn’t need to. Check out those eyelashes.

A high key and low key shot of Stephanie. Both were shot on white seamless. The difference is that I didn’t light the background on the second shot and used a clam shell lighting setup. See the lighting diagrams below.

The second diagram looks a little funny with the two umbrellas on top of each other. Basically, one was up high pointed down and the other was down low pointed up. I shot through a small space between the umbrellas.
