A head shot or headshot is a photographic portrait in which the focus is on the subject’s face. The term is usually applied to professional profile images on social media, images used on online dating profiles, and promotional images of actors, models, and authors.

I have many memories of working with Kodak’s graphic Arts film—Kodalith—back when I was a student at the Maryland Institute College of Art.

Photographing  models outdoors in a public place almost always attracts the attention of local gendarme. As it turned out that was not a problem. The original Olympus E-M10 is a small, understated-looking camera and I thought using it would make us look like a couple of tourists, which essentially we were.
