This weekend I worked with a model to create a head shot and full body shot for her portfolio.
For the headshot, I knew that I needed her eyes to be the focal point in the image. I had her pose sitting down and leaning forward with her elbows resting on her knees. This seemed to "separate" her face from the dark color of her shirt. I then posed her head in a position so that when she looked at the lens with her eyes only, it would "open" them up and be bright and beautiful. It was difficult for her to look up at me with her eyes only and not raise eyebrows or wrinkle her forhead. I think we found a happy medium.
Here is how I set up the studio.
Looking back at the shoot, the lights on the backdrop were probably unnecessary since it was cropped out in post processing.All processing was done in Adobe Lightroom 2.3
