GOOD HEADSHOTS VITAL FOR ACTORS, AS WELL AS PROFESSIONALS

GOOD HEADSHOTS VITAL FOR ACTORS, AS WELL AS PROFESSIONALS

Regardless of your profession (i.e., Realtor, Banker, Author, Model, Corporate Executive, Life Coach, Physician, Artist, Teacher, etc.) take a tip from actors who realize the importance of a great image. The "perfect headshot" brands that person, and is his/her sales tool in the acquisition of work.

A BRANDING IMAGE THAT SELLS – YOU!

Simply put, an excellent and compelling headshot is vital for promotion and is all about selling YOU! Your face, your personality, your demeanor – that’s what sells YOU!

Because, remember…first and foremost, it is YOU who ultimately stands behind the products, services and skills you provide and offer. A Headshot Photographer worth his/her salt will also understand the fine differences between shooting an image for a Corporate headshot, as opposed to one for a model, writer, artist, sports figure or media and theatrical entertainer.

And, bear in mind that aside from including finely executed composition, style and lighting, great headshots don’t have to be boring! They can add and create a sense of fun, play and whimsy, too. So…be it a headshot for use in comp cards, annual reports, marketing and public relations brochures, resumes, customer catalogs and/or for web content… what better way to make a strong initial and positive impact and impression on your targeted audience? You’ll be so glad you did!

BOHM MARRAZZO ROCKS!



Photographing celebrated Rock musicians has become a new genre of promotional shooting for the Bohm Marrazzo studio. This past fall we had the pleasure to shoot a plethora of publicity images for British Guitar Virtuoso - Dave Kilminster's new PR tour brochure. Mostly known for touring with Keith Emerson (since 2002) and with Roger Waters on his "The Dark Side Of The Moon" 2006-2007 tour, Dave Kilminster is an award-winning guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and music teacher.

It was vitally important for Dave that we capture his many artistic moods: his sensitive, playful, meditative, warm and friendly nature. All the images were either shot with available light on location, or in our spacious and comfortable Montclair, NJ photo studio using original painted textured backdrops by Linda Bohm. One of our favorite images was shot zooming the lens while taking a long exposure to create and simulate the same type of dynamic energy that emanates from Dave when he plays his guitar to audiences worldwide.

This provided a mutually unique and different experience for both Dave Kilminster and our Bohm-Marrazzo photo team: we were specifically chosen by Dave not only because of our quality work, but for the fact that we weren't shooting from the usual hardcore Rock photography angle. Our style was free-form, fun and relaxed producing and resulting in a truly top-notch photo brochure that we were all pleased and excited about!
