Male Model Natural Light Portrait Photo Shoot BTS - Creative Acting Headshots

I get really excited when my clients give me freedom to create and I love workign with other likeminded creatives! In this video you'll see behind the scenes of a photo shoot with an actor Dremaceo Giles, as he was making a big comeback to acting after a break. I hope you can get some inspiration and ideas on how to work with a male model. There's almost 3 different photo shoots in one - conceptual editorial hobo style shoot in the field - cinematic acting headshots Dylan Patrick Style - editorial shoot in the lake (yes IN the lake) I'll explain how we came up with the concept, styled the shoot and made it all work on the day of. Most of the shoot was done with natural light on my Sony S7riii + Sigma 50 mm 1.4 Art But for some of the shots I really wanted to add a punch of light and used Flashpoint XPLOR 600 to overpower the sun and create a more vivid, expensive look. For acting headshots and creative portfolio I feel like it's important not only to get the pictures that reflect actor's or actresses's likeness and personality, but also their ability to convey a mood and emotion Model/Model - Dre Giles IMDB https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1458658/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dremaceo/ Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kseniaprophoto/ Website for booking inquiries - http://kseniapro.com/ Gear: Cameras Sony s7riii - https://amzn.to/39hWTvv Canon 5D Mark IV - https://amzn.to/3ao3eqt Behind the scenes video camera - DJI Osmo Pocket - https://amzn.to/37ciu7R Lens used in the video: Sigma 50 mm 1.4 art for Canon - https://amzn.to/2SmC5vY Using it on Sony Camera with Sigma MC-11 Lens Mount Converter (Canon EF to Sony E-Mount) - https://amzn.to/2S2YDCO Canon 24-70 2.8 ii - https://amzn.to/36944UL Lens used for cinematic headshots Canon 70-200 2.8 iii USM - https://amzn.to/2GnmdDD Light: Flashpoint XPLOR 600 HSS TTL Battery-Powered Monolight (Bowens System) - https://amzn.to/2S3ixh1 Wireless Flash Trigger for Canon- Flashpoint R2 Mark II ETTL 2.4 GHz - https://amzn.to/2OxjRqs Better Trigger that I'm using now For CANON - https://amzn.to/2H2bmQ8 for SONY - https://amzn.to/31AH3t5 36" easy folding Octobox - https://amzn.to/2GWw0Bb Heavy duty light stand for on location shoots - https://amzn.to/38A75ix Misc Reflector - https://amzn.to/2tFaNbW Stepstool for on location shoots - https://amzn.to/2UqxFH4 Stool for posing - Check out Target I got mine for $19.99 similar on Amazon https://amzn.to/2Oxq85s Apple Box for posing - bought it at Michaels during a seasonal fall sale they have lots of crates and boxes Similar from Amazon https://amzn.to/31uZXBG You can use a crate too - https://amzn.to/382o7WM Sturdy shoeboxes work the same so don't trash them!
