Headshot Photography, Los Angeles

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009 Headshot Photography

A lot has happened at Vanie Poyey Photography with traveling to Japan etc. and I am finally catching up on posting some new work.

We start off with Kaleigh Longmeyer, daughter of Noelle Longmeyer, who I also photographed for her real estate headshots. Kaleigh is one of the cutest girls I’ve worked with in a long time!

Alongside Kaleigh is Paris Delgado, another very charismatic young man…if I can call him that. Watch out girls this one is a heart-breaker in training!

kids' Headshots

Jonathan Godfrey knew exactly what he wanted when he came to me. The images really show specific marketing looks because of his concise vision.

Young Dad/Cop

This very handsome boy here is Grant Gelner. Is it just me or does he look like he was born to be on the CW?

Young Business/Leading

Byron Lane was the sweetest and was referred to me by my friend and fellow photographer, Suthi Picotte. He was such a blast to work with and had great range!

Guy Next Door/Goofy Business

Gregory was an absolute blast and reminded me of a young George Clooney!

Clementina was such a pleasure to work with. She was easy going, full of energy and that gorgeous hair…makes you want red hair!

Commercial Business/Girl Next Door

Claudia Choi is the pro! Knows her market, knows what she wants, and knows how to give it with very little direction. We had a great time on the shoot. We wish you great luck Claudia!

Business/Commercial Mom

These next two were so talented you can almost hear what they are saying through these images. The beautiful blonde is Sarah Haworth and the edgy guy is Gordon Grey.

Girl Next Door/Edgy

This striking British boy is Julian Graham. Unfortunately we were asked for a re-shoot since his agent was not happy with the color of his shirt (being pink)…and apparently he was squinting. I’m always conscientious of sensitivity to light and always ask if my client is squinting. Although in this case we were told “no”, it turns out, that wasn’t so! Folks, it’s always too late after the fact, but there is a fix to almost every problem in post. Our solution was to change the color of his shirt and open his eyes a bit, and voila, pink becomes blue and eyes no longer squint! We do have a strict re-shooting policy, especially regarding clothing and squinting (since I always ask). When we agree on clothing during a photo shoot, I can’t justify a re-shoot if your agent doesn’t agree, only because I can’t read your agent’s mind if he/she is not present. Our solution was not good enough for Julian…let us know your thoughts!
