Thoughts On A Headshot Session.

Michael Jackson would be 62 today if he hadn’t hired such a gifted nap specialist. 

 At least his music lives on. This song came on during my headshot session Tuesday:
   

If you’re going to cover a song, take a big swing at the pitch. It put me in the right mood, which is important when you’re getting your photos taken. Here’s a trick: take your hand and cover the eyes of an actor on his headshot and focus on his smile. If it doesn’t look genuine, he wasn’t comfortable with the photographer. And he’s doing himself a disservice. 

David Muller took my shots. In addition to playing good music, he’s super cool and gets a lot done fast. We talked football in between setups. He used great lighting and interesting backgrounds to enhance my wardrobe. An hour after we finished, he sent me all of the photos from our session. Total pro. Tell him I sent you.
