Beauty headshots photography is a specialized form of model headshots. It primarily focuses on capturing be autiful, youthful faces as naturally as possible without looking processed or retouched. As a headshots photographer, I am blessed to have such a wonderful Creative Team of makeup artists and hair stylists that can pull off these incredible images.
The lighting setup for these beauty headshots is quite simple – even though I used a total of four Elinchrom soft boxes to achieve the even soft, flattering light required. High key (i.e. white background) images like these are often the most difficult for models since there are nothing to “hide” from. The quality of the final images is completely dependent on the models being experienced in front of the camera lens. I really love the final images from this beauty headshots photoshoot!
Simplicity is key for beauty headshots as well. There are no distracting elements in these images – just a natural face, beautiful skin and piercing eyes. The have a wonderful informal and intimate quality to them and the compositions are left very simple. Of course, very little Photoshop’ing was done in post production to maintain a very natural feel to the finished images.
