Headshots: Hair and Makeup

When I first began shooting headshots many years ago, we shot all film and in all black and white.  Today, although I still shoot a lot of film, the trend is definitely more digital and headshots are now all color. With color photos, you really cannot get away without hair and makeup like you could with black and white film.  Flaws are much more apparent in color and can be very distracting to an agent or casting director when considering hiring you.  When investing in your career, it’s important not to cut corners. When I am working with someone like makeup artist Karen Lanyi, I feel completely confident that she is going to make my client look their absolute best without over doing it. She describes her style as a “more polished version of yourself.”  Karen is not only great at what she does but she’s fun on the shoot and and is always very supportive. Couple that with shooting a pro like Wenne, who has recently worked with the likes of Dennis Leary and Will Smith, and you have a winning combination.  Make the investment, perform like a pro, and you will surely be on the road to success.  Check out some of the shots from our shoot.  Oh, and there is no photoshop on these shots.  Just another testament to Karen’s phenomenal abilities. :)
