Dance x 3

'The Head Shot'........ More than just a shot of a head.

I was asked to take shots for Thomas Beaudoin, a model turning actor, and BF to eco-stylist, and friend of mine, Myriam Laroche....

What I thought would be an easy shoot, turned into quite the challenge. I haven't shot an actual 'head shot' before, as in with the purpose of an agency to use, and for him to get work. I've shot a million and one heads, but never for actual agency purposes...

I failed the first attempt.
le sigh, twas a tuff one for me to swallow. Communication as far as what was expected of me wasn't clear, and so the shots weren't taken with these expectations in mind.

A re-shoot was booked, and this time, I think we nailed er.
