louis headshots!

I just took some headshots for a super-swell guy named Louis. We had a great time during his session, even though I made him nervous as I wobbled on my step stool. People who want me to take their headshots should know that I'm remarkably clumsy, and will probably trip and/or fall during the shoot. But, like I told Louis, if I DO fall, I promise to laugh all the way to the hospital...and do a reshoot for free.

Louis is currently rehearsing a play called "Some Men" at Actor's Express. We should all go see it. Yay, support local theater!

Here are just a couple of the pics we took the other day...

I HAD to post this one. It blows my mind that this is the FIRST shot I took! Typically, it takes about 20 to 30 frames before I see someone REALLY relax and notice their personality shine through the awkwardness of having a camera stuck in their faces. Louis had it at frame #1. Unheard of.







You know I can't end a post without a celebrity comparison, so in the smiley pic below, I'm totally getting a Billy Crudup vibe. Yes?



Louis, thanks for making my job wicked easy, and all the best in your acting career!

louis....the sequel!

One of the joys of being an actor is that you have to properly document changes in your appearance. I took headshots for Louis earlier this year in April. However, one haircut later and his look has changed. Presto! So, back to the camera he goes. We even took some pre-shave and post-shave shots this time to make sure all the bases were covered.

It was MUCH colder out than you would guess by looking at these images. Like any good actor or model, Louis handled it like a champ. A very cold champ.

I should probably point out that this post could also be considered an early Christmas present for my friend Vicki, who developed a little inter-web crush on Louis after I posted his first headshots. Hi Vicki!

Louis, it was great to see you again. Thanks for doing another fantastic job, and I can't wait to hear about all your super acting adventures!
