They can be the bread and butter of a photographer’s existence and simultaneously the suck of their creative soul. Imagine how thrilled I was when I got an email asking if I could do some headshots but with an edge, not “the catholic school girl look”. It got even more interesting as my contact person was interested in getting headshots done for two very different business – a law office and an advertising agency. Couldn’t be on more opposite ends of the spectrum! A challenge I was ready to take on! First up –
