Fashion Headshots

This year has definitely being the year of weddings for Insight. As a Yorkshire wedding photographer, I have been very busy capturing stories for couples throughout the region but now the season is coming to an end, I start to turn my attention to other areas of photography that I love to do.

Although I probably won't have a great deal of time between now and the New Year to shoot much by way of personal projects, when January comes around, I'll be shooting as much as possible. I had planned on a 1 month trip to Thailand for Jan, but that's not going to happen this year with too many things to do so I'm planning my time a bit differently. The collage above shows some of the headshot and fashion work that I like to work on during quieter times. I love working with models/actors/performing artistes to achieve a really modern, edgy look which they can use for their own promotion whether in print or on the internet.

I like to work with mixed light sources when I'm shooting headshots. Using natural light with reflectors and adding in small flash units (Nikon Speedlights) for the more dramatic looks gives a client a really nice mixture of styles to choose from.

Roll on January when the diary is a bit more free for pesonal shoots!
