I’d like to talk about Intention in Headshot photography.
There are many aspects I keep in mind through a headshot photography session.
because every person is unique, the most interesting aspect for me is working with my subject, to get the desired expressions.
My job as a headshot photographer is to lay out the ground on which my subject’s character can flourish and manifest itself so I can capture it. It’s very important for the subject to have intention behind their expression, that’s what I’m looking for in my sessions.
Light and composition are fundamentals and are second nature to me, I check them constantly and press the shutter only if both are perfect, as well as making sure that the background is just that and doesn’t have any attention grabbing elements.
While Light and composition have to do with aesthetics, they are mostly technical, and since I’m very experienced, I always make it work first, so I can concentrate in my subject, this is really what it’s all about.
I find Liron Levo’s shots above, a great example of Intention in Headshot photography, each one captures a moment that represent a character with intention.

The “If we live” project was conceived by a dear friend, Los-Angeles musician/Producer Kevin T. Williams. It started for me when Kevin called me one day telling me about a great new project he’s working on, and asked me to lend my voice to the choir of more than 60 accomplished singers, singing the theme song. I humbly accepted as this was the first real recording. In this video, you can get a glimpse of yours truly, but I doubt you’ll be able to recognize my voice ;)
Later on, when all was ready, I worked with Kevin on the cover design, using my cloud photograph for the CD’s cover design. The ‘If we live’ project CD is now available from CD Baby, Go there and get your copy. All proceeds go to ‘Stand Up To Cancer’ “if we live has a Facebook page, where you can read more about the project https://www.facebook.com/pages/If-we-Live/538059362931621
Kevin used the “globe” I made, to make some buttons that we gave away in the CD release party. I was thinking about what image to use for this post while clearing my desk. I picked up that button that was on the desk to put it away and while turning around (The sky image is hanging right behind me) this idea came to mind, too simple, the biggest challenge was operating a right-hand camera with my left hand.
All “If we live” songs are available at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/kevintwilliamstheifwelov
All proceeds go to “stand up to cancer.
