headshots of a black woman actor

April 27, 2014 by admin-91

I had the chance to shoot actor head shots for this black woman from dc on a slow january month while people were almost broke from the holidays. she wanted to go to a casting call for a new tv-show in need of a black female actor. the pictures were needed for an audition in new york the coming weekend. she had brought three wardrobe changes for the different looks. I thought she had something enigmatic in her look and could well play parts in dramas. she has intense serenity in her look. she had barely-there makeup. I engaged her in conversation just to distract her and capture the right expression. I would give her hints to make her headshots pop by trying to make her smile but she had this serious look on her face.

I did a few different shots with different lighting and angles. we came up with a nice selection of pictures. I needed to do some retouching fast enough. also I usually give actors two complimentary prints with their names on them. I had to send out to a lab in washington dc so I could get them back in time. she was very happy and I think a casting director looking at her picture would find something unique in her look. maybe that’s who she is. how she is. it must be her natural look. actors who look natural and show some character, increase their chances getting an audition.

I will use Souleye's services again. He took a great passport photo of me and then handled all the rigmarole of printing the photos to US Passport Agency specifications. He also did some great shots for my professional website. He is a very patient and friendly person to work with.read more

I came to Sharp Focus photography for professional headshots for my website. The photographer was well prepared with various cameras, light setups and a makeup artist. The makeup artist did two styles with me, and the photographer got me from various angles and different lighting. Over all it was an enjoyable experience and he was very helpful with adding final touches to the images, making them look more natural and editing flyaway hair. Would definitely recommendread more

Souleye Cisse is a wonderful artist! He pays close attention to detail in order to create wonderful works of art with his clients. If you would like to create quality photographs with an artiste who takes his talent serious but, makes sure models are comfortable and appreciated, I highly recommend him. read more

Souleye is a great photographer and gets the job done. What impressed me was how involved he was after the shoot. He went beyond the job description and helped me get my new actor headshots done on the same day. I asked for an appointment on Thursday and had my shoots taken and touched on Saturday. He is also a great value. I would recommend him to my family and friends.read more

My experience working with this photographer was excellent. He really took his time and did a wonderful job. He took many different kinds of shots and I put on many different outfits. Sharpfocus photography does not have high prices, and can easily adjust to anyone's schedule. I was very happy with the way my photos turned out. Thanks Sharp Focus! read more
