Actress Kari Vanalstine
Kari emailed me early last week, in need of a headshot for a rapidly approaching audition. Fortunately, I was able to get her into the studio the next day. She showed up with her hair and makeup professionally done (yay!), and she was ridiculously easy to work with. Kari was very comfortable in front of the camera (a good quality for an actress!) and she has a comfortable, engaging smile.
So, we worked for about 45 minutes and then, later the same day — because of Kari’s need to get the pictures quickly — I posted a password-protected, online gallery of about 20 proofs (I cull out the duplicate images, photos were eyes are closed, etc., before posting the proof gallery). Kari picked the five images she wanted me to process (the actor/model/athlete headshot package includes five high-resolution, edited jpegs, as well as a 5- x 7-inch print of each of the five images). I did some minor Photoshop work and the five jpegs were in Kari’s inbox the next day. She is now able to print out an 8 x 10 whenever she needs it for an audition.
Hopefully, my headshots will help Kari land some cool gigs. And hopefully we’ll get to work together again down the road!
