Cinematic Headshots with Nicole Jearis

More Challenges

Written on the 28^th of April, 2023

I had the pleasure of capturing cinematic headshots of model Nicole Jearis, a talented individual with a captivating presence. Each photoshoot presents its own set of unique challenges that provide valuable opportunities for growth as a photographer. In this particular shoot, I encountered a significant issue with the reflections created by the jewelry Nicole was wearing.

While my primary focus was on her expressive eyes, the shiny jewelry had a tendency to divert attention away from her face. The bright reflections also introduced unexpected colours that clashed with the overall aesthetic I wanted to achieve. After the shoot, I dedicated time to post-processing to correct these reflections, ensuring that the final images showcased Nicole's character and beauty without distraction.
