Had a fantastic shoot this week with rising star Honor Kneafsey. We got some brilliant natural light and studio shots of Honor really focusing on the eyes. Having starred in projects such as Our Zoo, Babs, Sherlock, Friday Night Dinner, Black Work and Benidorm the vast experience of this young actress really shone through and every shot told a different story. You can see Honor in her latest project, feature film ‘Crooked House’, on DVD and digital download now alongside Glenn Close, Gillian Anderson and Christina Hendricks.

Natural light student head shots

Last few months have been busy. Its that time of the year again when 3rd year drama and musical theatre students need to get their head shots done. For many of them it’s the first time they have ever sat in front of a camera! So many things for them to think about, hair, make up, expression, do I smile do I look moody….

For me, there’s only one important thing. The eyes! Get them to say everything! It’s not easy to do but it makes the portrait work. If the eyes are dead, all the hard work with make up and hair will be wasted.

I shot student actress Jessica Bennett in natural light with just a reflector to accentuate her eyes, no need for anything else.
