#headshotselfie
WIN a free headshot course valued at $495
So many actors want to update their headshots, but can't in lockdown, or simply can't afford a professional photographer due to current financial pressures.
In order to help our creative community, I'm offering the chance for 5 lucky winners to learn how to take their own professional headshots with whatever camera device they have available. Be it DSLR, a low budget basic point and shoot, or even a phone camera.
This will be a skill that you can use in the future to quickly update your headshots with interim photos when you change your look, or when you need to show off a new character look for a last minute casting. Or perhaps you just want to learn how to take self portraits like a pro.
Even if you don't have any skills with photography, you will learn all of the trade secrets that headshot photographers use in order to capture a great headshot.
What you will learn;
-
Posing and camera angles
-
Lighting golden rules and DIY tricks.
-
Styling and use of colour/costumes
-
Choosing locations and backgrounds
-
Creating characters/looks to suit your castability
-
Tips for editing colour and lighting using free or very affordable software programs
Here's what you need to do...
1. Take your best self portrait and email it to reelphotographs@gmail.com
2. Include your full name
3. Your current location
4. And what camera you used
The 5 winners will be chosen based on their creativity and ingenuity.
Here are some key factors to incorporate whilst taking your self portrait for this competition;
-
Lighting
-
Focus
-
Background
-
Clothing colours/styling
It doesn't have to be the most professional and polished photo, but a portrait that clearly shows who you are as an actor/character.
So get snapping!
