GRAD SCHOOL BOUND

I met Norma through my good friend Julia W. (whose headshots I talk about in an earlier post here.) Julia and Norma went to high school together in NYC and when Norma needed a new headshot for grad school, Julia gave her my information.

Working with formally trained actors is a different feel to a session that was unexpected and so much fun. We got to create these fun characters that we were photographing and really got to think about what kind of roles Norma would be auditioning for and how a picture could really sell that. I think its an interesting approach that you can go in with, knowing that clothes and a hairstyle can make you look like a high school graduate and then a simple wardrobe change can elevate your status to corporate executive.

Norma is now in London getting her MFA in Acting and I wish the best for her in her new endeavour.

Norma reminds me of Amanda Peet and also a bit of Jocelyn Guest? If you have any friends who are in a theatre or drama program at need headshots, please don’t hesitate to have them contact me. YAYAYAYAY.
