Now I have a client and a rough idea of what they want I thought it would be a good idea to research that type of photography further. As my client wants headshots for castings and auditions I have looked at a professional headshot photographer and what they include in their shoots. As well as this I have evaluated one of their images to help me know what qualities I like in a headshot.

I like the way this model is posing, she is angled at 45° towards the light with her head turned slightly off center of the camera.This creates a gradient effect on the background from grey to black, left to right. I like the high key on the models face, it helps highlight her natural features. The photographers control of depth of field means the main focus is on the models face and hair. This means the viewer can see the natural textures of the models skin and hair, perfect for castings.
