Larry Real Estate { Hudson Valley Headshot Photographer }
First off, if you haven’t had a chance to check out my new portfolio and my new website please head here: Hudson Valley Editorial Portrait Photographer
These are shots that I did with a new local Real Estate Agent. Larry was a great guy to work with, and I think we came away with some really strong shots. He wanted something that showed a bit of character and personality, while at the same time remaining professional. We went with one look in the studio, and one look outdoors. I shot the outdoor stuff at one of my favorite locations for headshots over by the taxi building. I swear I find something new over there every time I go out there. Th
is time was no exception. He wanted to keep some space off to the left for text, because he wanted to use this for a business card. So that’s what that is, if you’re wondering why there’s all that dead space. I think we did a great job with the shots. He told me he was nervous in front of a camera, and I certainly didn’t see any of that when we were shooting. I think we got along really well, which made the shoot carefree and easy. Something I certainly try to do with all my clients. Because I know the more comfortable I make them feel the better the shots are going to be. That’s why I take the time to really listen to hear what exactly you want, and make sure that I get some shots that can work well for that. Whether it’s an actor going out for his first comp card, or a business man who needs to update his linkedin profile picture. Either way, I want to get you shots that really work for you.
For this studio look I went with a simple black background, and a nice even softbox. Something I’ve done a million times, but it just looks so classic and good it’s hard not to like the way that these photographs come out looking.
Overall it was a pretty successful shoot, and afterwards I ended up showing some of his pictures to a modeling agency that I work closely with, because I thought he just had such a good look. He was a handsome man for sure. She ended up loving his look, and when I recently looked on their boards it looks like he was actually signed. So I was super glad I could help out with that as well. I know their agency is always looking for great male models. I’ll be curious to see how he does on his first paid shoot. It’s a bit different when the photographer is telling you you need to get into the shot. I’m sure he’ll be fine though.
