This week’s Headshot of the Week! is a departure from the typical for me with this cinematic style shot. The light and the traffic cooperated well here to bring this shot of the lovely @bernice kamit to life.

Just over a year ago, I retired from @hcahealthcare. Before I left, I was asked to grab a few last headshots for some of my colleagues. This week’s Headshot of the Week! is of my boss’s boss, Steve. I’ll always appreciate Steve for the faith he demonstrated in my abilities, as well as his support of my taking time to shoot headshots for my colleagues when it wasn’t really part of my job :).

Zemfira making her second appearance as Headshot of the Week! and can you blame me? She truly owned the space in front of the camera and managed to create a great connection despite the numerous distractions happening in the studio at the time. Zemfira’s a real pro to work with, and I’m looking forward to doing so again!

The lovely Florentina is this week’s Headshot of the Week! with this image from our recent session. This one is a bit more portrait than headshot but Flory’s smile and connection to the camera are so spot on here I had to drop it in my feed today (plus she’s so effortlessly beautiful it makes me look good for capturing it!)

Arun is this week’s Headshot of the Week! with this available light shot from @nancyschoenmakers workshop in Gale, Portugal. Defintely a different style from my normal headshot style, but the way Arun is owning the space in the frame here, I had to make it a HotW!.

Soneczka is this week’s Headshot of the Week! with this image from our recent studio session. I love seeing how connected she is to the viewer in this one, and she has a beautiful and relaxed smile that completes the shot.

The lovely @SophieWester.14 is this week’s Headshot of the Week! to kick off June. This location headshot was captured during Nancy Schoenmakers fashion workshop last week. I’m sure no one is surprised I snuck in some headshot images in between the more “fashion” genre images we were there to get.

This image of Erin is the last Headshot of the Week! for this last week of May, 2023. This shot from one of my HCA colleague headshot sessions is another reminder of the great people I used to work with at HCA before retiring to Valencia and how they always showed up ready to rock their headshot sessions.
