About My Pprofessional Practice in Film Production and Studio Portrait Photography
I am a studio headshot, portrait photographer and film maker. I graduated with a Foundation Degree in Film and Photography with South Devon College through Plymouth University in 2017 and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Film with Plymouth College of Arts through Open University in 2018. Before that I studied photography with the New York Institute of Photography back in the early 1980’s.
Studio Portrait and headshot Photography
Photography and cinematography share the same medium and that is light. I have applied my knowledge of lighting in my film making to studio portraiture. The only deference is that studio portrait photography I use a studio flash and with film I use continuous lighting. With both my film making and my studio portraiture, I am centred around the preforming arts. My aim is to capture character and the personality of actors.
I use a more classical lighting setup to create both Rembrandt and Butterfly lighting using a four-light setup, Key, Fill, Background and accent lights. My technique is capture depth by modelling the lights. This captures the play of light across my subject’s face. I like to capture a sharp image of the whole of my subject’s face, bringing out fine detail of their face and enhancing my subjects’ expressions.
