Head Shots

I was asked to do some head shots for a lady, Carrie, who was auditioning for a singing job.  I asked her what her requirements were, advised on the different backdrops available, and invited her into the studio for a shoot.  Here are the photo's:

We tried different poses, a natural pose with her head tilted to the side...

The above image, cropped in to fill the frame...

Looking over the shoulder - I feel the smile in this photo is a little forced...

I asked Carrie to 'lift her chin/pull her head forward a little' - she was very pleased with this result as it removed the extra chin! 

To me, this is the most natural pose, but I adjusted the white balance to 'Flash' in Photoshop and I think this has made the image a bit too warm.

And finally, we had some silly time :)
