Headshot Photographer Blogs
Here you will find some of the delicate ramblings of the headshot and portrait photographer.
This could range from discourse on what and what not to do when preparing for a headshot session, who my favourite backdrop maker is and who I currently think is making beautiful work.
I shall try not to talk too much about my love for the colour olive or why everyone should learn to play the bass.
