Our next session is on Thursday, August 20th (I’m out of town on the 13th) with openings starting at 4pm and available by reservation only.  Sessions are held generally each Thursday.  All participants receive a full studio photography session with up to 4 changes of clothing, hair and make-up support, a 36 image proof-sheet, and 2 8×10 prints of choice, all for only $100 bucks!  Add a full resolution image-DVD with copyright release for $50 more.  If you’ve done a little research, you know what a great deal this is.  Get your foot in the door at that agency you’ve been looking at, or just upgrade/update your portfolio with some fresh headshots!

If you’re an up and coming actor or model trying to break into television or movie work, Dathan of Sugarhouse Films (our partner company) is available for screen-test videos.  See what you look like and sound like on screen!  You’ll get a demo clip, filmed with movie-style lighting and recorded with professional quality sound, on your very own DVD to show your agent or potential clients.  Worth hundreds?  Maybe…but in conjunction with “Headshot Night”, it’s just $100.

Just think!  Come in on a Thursday and get fresh headshots, 2 8x10s, a proof sheet, a copyright released photo-dvd, and a demo-reel dvd for a cool $250…around half what you’d pay for the headshots alone elsewhere.

Complete portfolios, outdoor sessions, many other services are available, and are offered at a discounted rate for those who participate in “Headshot Night”.  Please check out the “Studio” sub-section in the “Portfolio” on my website for more samples.  Whether you choose the basic headshot package for $100 or go full out with the photo-video package for $250, you’re sure to improve your portfolio.  Space at each session is limited and generally fill well in advance, so contact me soon to reserve your time!

Wow, what a great time taking Mckelle’s senior portraits at Saltair by the Great Salt Lake!

I have to admit that as a portrait photographer in Utah, I shoot my fair share of Utah weddings.  Tonight was different!  Mckelle is graduating from Cottonwood High School class of 2009, is a winning hockey player (don’t mess with her), and as noted in her session this evening, has a warm smile that won’t quit.

Here are a few of my favorites from tonight. Thanks, Mckelle and Melanie (mom) for making my job easy!  If you’re graduating high school this year and would like some incredible Utah senior portraits to remember your great days growing up, look no further.

For portrait photography Utah has many photographers.  Trust your portraits to someone who’s been in the business over ten years, will give you that special attention you deserve, and make you “Look. Incredible.”

It’s JUNE already, don’t wait any longer!  Sunset sessions like Mckelle’s are limited, so book yours now.

A model’s portfolio generally begins with a good headshot. When seeking modeling opportunities, a model must have a strong portfolio consisting of several types of photographs including a combination of some of the following examples;

1. Headshot

2. Full length shot – fashion or formal

3. Full length shot – casual

4. Editorial shot (specifically shot for a magazine cover or article)

5. Natural light shot

6. Tear Sheet (page “torn” from magazine or other published work)

7. Interactive shot (with another model)

8. Character shot

9. “Beauty” shot

10. Environmental or outdoor shots

11. A “light-to-none” make-up shot

12. Swimwear/Underwear/Lingerie (Tasteful)

13. “Mood” shot (showing a particular emotion / mood)

14. “Object” shot (presenting / handling / seen with an item or object)

15. Other shots to “personalize” the portfolio.

This list is not exclusive. It’s important to remember that the portfolio is a fluid thing and that photos can be interchanged and rearranged depending on what the particular job or campaign calls for. In general, a model portfolio is 9×12 vertical in contrast to a photographer portfolio which is generally 11×14. Photos / samples should be arranged one per page, on the right side of the page with the left side being left blank so that images can be viewed one at a time and be aloud to “stand on their own”.

I’ve helped hundreds of models in Utah begin their careers with great headshots and other portfolio work. As a portrait photographer in Utah I’ve literally worn out several cameras with headshots alone numbering in the tens of thousands. What does this mean for you as a model? I’m one of Utah’s most experienced photographers and can help you with your portfolio whether you’re just starting your career joining the hundreds of successful Utah models, or whether you’re already a working model and need to update your portfolio with a fresh headshot.

Don’t miss out on a modeling job or career because you lack a portfolio or because your current portfolio is lacking… Get in touch with me and let’s discuss how to best assemble or update your portfolio today!
