As an East Yorkshire Photographer, the lion's share of my work is split between wedding and commercial photography. However, i do really enjoy working with actors and artists to help them put together portfolios for their own marketing and promotion.Claire, in the collage above, is a classical soprano teacher who is looking to market herself to the wedding and event community as a performer in her own right.
Claire contacted me a few weeks ago to discuss the possibility of shooting her portfolio so we met up in Costa's for a chat and for me to find out more about her aspirations for her photography. The images she was looking for would be used between her website, business cards, promotional literature and e-mail outs. We talked about styling, hair and make up and also preferred locations.
Having photographed the wedding of the general manager of Carlton Towers last year, I thought this could be a perfect location for us to work at and one that would suit the classic look necessary for an opera singer. Carlton Towers is a breathtaking venue which is located just between Goole and Selby and they were more than happy to let us shoot there.
We spent a couple of hours working different areas of the Towers using a variety of lighting setups to achieve some of the 'looks' you see above. I really enjoy this kind of work and Claire was a joy to photograph. More examples of headshot photography can be seen here.
