A head shot is a portrait where the focus of the photography is to capture the persons personality. Many jobs require a head shot with a CV when applying for. These jobs include theater, film, TV actors, models, singers and more. These head shots are usually more artistic as they try to portray the subject in the best lighting. Head shots that include a person's shoulders are called three quarter shots.
Task 1
For task 1 we were to produce three head shots of the same person. One high key, one mid key and one low key. These images had to each show an aspect of the person's personality and also fit in with the required lighting.
Shutter speed - 1/125 sec
ISO - 100
F-Stop - 7.1
To get this image I used a white backdrop and 4 soft boxes. 2 small soft boxes pointing at the back to make it bright and 2 large soft boxes pointing at the subject. Here I think this image shows Desree's personality because she's giving a cheeky smile to the camera. I edited this on photoshop, I used the stop healing brush tool to remove any spots and then changed the levels slightly to make it a bit brighter.

In this image I still used a white background, however I used only the front two soft boxes.

In this image I used a black backdrop and only one soft box. I like how Desree looks like she is in deep thought in this image, it goes well with low key as she looks a bit sad.
