Brandy

Capturing Brandy’s headshots beside Detroit’s riverfront made me have a deeper appreciation for the beauty of the Detroit River! The rusty orange of her dress popped so well against the pale blue of the sky and the water nearby.

Especially when it comes to headshots, I’m less about often angling my lens only straight at someone facing forward and more about having more fun with angles and organic, mostly unposed movement and gestures. Whether it comes to drawing attention to things close to face like hair and jewelry by framing the face with someone’s hands or instructing someone to turn their head different directions and angles, I love to go about headshots in ways people don’t expect. But as you can see, when I go about headshots this way, the results are absolutely wonderful!
