Shoot Evaluation

The shots I have produced have come out very professional and will function well as acting headshots. They have the duller colours and focus on light and texture that most professional headshots I have researched have.
However, one persistent issue I had to deal with was the harsh natural lighting on the day. Because my client's eyes are set back into his head, it often caused a shadow to appear over his eyes and significantly darkening them. Where I to repeat this shoot, I would plan to bring along a reflector to light up the eyes from underneath and removing the shadow.
