In our final installment of the Headshot miniseries, I’m welcoming back someone who I have shot with several times over the last decade: Leah Huebner. If you’ve looked through IMDb or iSpotTV, you’ve seen a Huener Headshot. Leah, a former actress turned professional portraitist, offers her unique perspective on the art and business of actor headshots. She goes into her process for selecting appropriate headshot clothes, setting the right mood, and choosing backdrops based on the genre or the feel of the show an actor is targeting. She also touches on the importance of authenticity and realistic portrayal of oneself in headshots, and how she wants to get all of her clients to show who they are in their sessions. Expect invaluable tips on time management, preparation, character representation, and maintaining vulnerability during headshot sessions, as well as an interesting conversation on gender representation in headshot photography that will help all of us break the binary.
