Actors' headshots

By pure coincidence, in the last few weeks in Montreal we shot headshots for 2 actors who are castmates on the same show, Mohawk Girls. The first was Erland Campbell, and the second was LeeLee Greene, whom I also had the pleasure of shooting a few years back. Both of these actors are driven by their passion, which was clear from the start, as we set out to get them a solid headshot. There was no need to remind them to focus on the job at hand, because these working actors are well aware of how to get the most out of a camera. Mohawk Girls is in its fourth season of shooting, and can be seen on both APTN and Omni TV.

Welcome to our brand-new blog!  Running a portrait and headshot photography studio, we get to meet all kinds of colourful characters. Through this blog, we hope to introduce you to some of these awesome folks, as well as to showcase our work.

When searching for a name for the new blog, we asked ourselves the question: What makes a great photograph?  You can argue that it's the lighting, the mood, or the subject.  Although these are all important elements of a great portrait, it is finding the right perspective, or line, on each person, that we consider to be the most important. Fine Lines. Faces are a unique challenge and studying the structure of the face and where to place it, we believe, sets us apart.
