MALE HEADSHOT SESSION BACKGROUND & LIGHTING CHOICES

Headshot session options are almost endless, we can combine different sources of lighting, reflectors and backdrop colors in so many different ways to get the style you are looking for. I photographed the model below with 20 different options to showcase the most common types of headshots for you to choose from before your session. If you are not positive what will look best for you, we'll choose for you. But helping us to narrow down to at least a few of your favorites can be helpful.
