This season, I was tasked to do head-shots of the International festival Chorus’ choir committee.
My ‘goal’ for headshots is to make my subject look confident and approachable and something that I picked up a while back is that telling someone to smile is not going to work.
Neither is telling them to ‘look confident and approachable’ going to score you any brownie points.
The trick for shoots like these is that you got to give your subjects a reason to smile.
There you go. No fancy lighting equipment or background.
Just the Leica M-E and many reasons to smile.
