Head Shot

So people have been telling me FOREVER that I need to get my son into modeling. I thought so as well but it just wasnt high on my list. Well randomly the other day I was thinking that maybe I should try to make good use of my camera and try taking some pictures to send it to see how they would come out. Man did I discover photoshops wonders.



So here's my original. SOOC (straight out of camera). Definitely not a bad picture at all but doesnt stand out too much and if I'm gonna send them in I want it to catch someone's eye. Particularly good considering he was crying before this and I couldnt get him to smile at all so happy I caught this while he was happy.

Well I used photoshop to try and enhance his features. Of course I used my favorite "PERFECT PORTRAIT" action from CoffeeShop to soften his skin, bring out his eyes, and give the overall picture just a vibrant color. I added his name to the bottom to give it more of a professional look. To me, this literally looks like it could be a professional type headshot. I mean of course besides that fact that I cut the top of his head off, but I couldnt get him to smile again after this so I had to work with what I had. Now to the printer to print them out and start sending 'em in.

Wish him luck!
