Robin Tompkins, JD, ACC (she/her)

We photographed Robin about 1-2 hours before sunset on a December evening. For Portland, Oregon this time of year the sun sets about 4pm and is dark by 5pm.

We used the west setting sun as the main light source for Robin while using flag and bounce cards to add and subtract light on the sides. It’s important to shape the light while outdoors.

View our Outdoor Headshots Gallery↗

Outdoor environments can be fantastic depending on the desired effect, especially when the weather is great. For our clinet Robin, it was a fantasticly clear winter day!

Changing color of clothes for final delivery.

Our client wanted to match a group of speakers for an upcoming speakin opportunity so we retouched the color of her top from green to blue. Additionally, with her second outfit we looked at what her top would look like all blue without the mixing of reds and yellows.

Sometimes it’s helpful to wear your favorite top and have the color changed to match your branding in post production. You can share your requests during the session or when you send your selections from the proof gallery.

Our outdoor back drop environment.

Final Image Delivery Examples Featuring Senior Vice President and General Manager of QSC Pro Audio, David Angress

by | Nov 30, 2023 | Blog, Client Work, Headshot

Senior Vice President and General Manager of QSC Pro Audio, David Angress

We photographed our client in our natural light studio, Studio Northwest, located in Portland, Oregon using our south facing window light and light modifiers.

Let’s look at our setup, talk about proof galleries, image rotation options, and what comes in a headshot delivery.

Location and Lighting Setup

We used window light from the large windows and flag and bounce cards to create shadow on both sides of the face.

Our approach is to create flat light and shape it. Imagine a box with one of the sides open to let light in directionally. The light would follow onto the subject and then to the background.

When using natural light the diffused light acts as a very large wide band of light like a 7 ft umbrella modifier for strobe photography. A trick we use when on site and natural light is not available.

Below is an example of our studio set up and an on-site setup. The studio setup is using the large windows and v-flat modifier. An additional modifier is used during the session. The on-site setup is using a 3 ft octabank with a Profoto strobe with a v-flat bounce card.

Proof Gallery

After the headshot session our clients are given a proof gallery with unedited images for selection(s) to be made depending on what session package is paid for.

Once selections are made, photographs will continue the editing process and be retouched and formatted for final use. Any additional images beyond what the session package includes are $55 with the usage license.

At Erica J Mitchell Photographer we offer basic and advanced retouching at no additional charge. 

Visit Retouching Headshots Guide to learn more.

Example of Image Rotation

Our client’s selection had two really great positions for the final image. We delivered both options, the original position and a slighting rotated position. 

    Original Position

    Example of square cropping in our editing program Lightroom to show the original position without rotation. The client’s original photo posture has a slight lean to their left. In the rotated position example below you’ll see how the rotation makes the image to appear more upright.

    Rotated Position

    Example of the second square cropping in our editing program Lightroom to show the rotated position which gives the client a more upright orientation in their photo.

    Another perspective of the rotation of a headshot selection. The top image is the original position and the bottom is the rotated position. The client received both options depending on their desired choice.

    Final Delivery

    After clients have made their image selections from the proof gallery and the final selection has been through post production (retouching, cropping and formatting) an email with a download link will be sent.

    Clients will receive Large Web and Print file formats in multiple cropping options delivered through Dropbox.

    Three file sizes included in delivery

    • Print 12 inch long, 300dpi 5 MB
    • Large Web 2,000 pixels long, 72 dpi 1.5 MB
    • Website Sized 1,080 pixels long, 72 dpi 100 KB

    Take Your Career To The Next Level With Professional Headshots

    by | Nov 28, 2023 | Blog

    headshot in circle and adobe express logo

    By Ellie Jensen with Adobe Express

    Professional headshots are an increasingly important part of any successful career. They have the power to draw attention and make you stand out in a crowded creative field, as well as boost your self-esteem and give you confidence. Whether you’re in the entertainment industry or applying for a job, it’s important to get a headshot that showcases your best features. In this blog post courtesy of photographer Erica J Mitchell, we’ll take a look at a few reasons why professional photography is crucial for your career.

    A Professional Photographer Knows How To Bring Out Your Best Features

    When selecting a photographer for your professional headshots, it’s important to find someone who understands how to bring out the best features in their subject. Photographers understand which angles and lighting will emphasize your facial features, and how to position you in order to get the perfect shot. A good photographer should also be able to provide direction on how to pose so that the focus is always on you.

    A Pro Understands Trends in Various Industries

    It’s not enough just to take a standard headshot photo for any occasion; for a professional image, your portrait must reflect current trends in your industry. Having knowledge of what kind of look is preferred by employers or casting directors can play a huge role when taking your picture. It could be something as simple as choosing the right background or clothing, or having knowledge of certain lighting techniques that will bring out your features better than others. A talented photographer will be able to give advice and guidance on all of these things so that you end up with a great shot that also fits within current trends.

    Stand Out In a Crowded Creative Field

    Having a great professional headshot can help make sure you stand out from other applicants or performers vying for the same job or role. The right portrait can show employers and casting directors that you have put a lot of thought and effort into your appearance, which can help them remember you when it’s time to make a decision. Your photographer may even be able to help you choose the right outfit or background depending on what kind of look you want to convey.

    Boost Your Self-Esteem

    Investing in getting professional photographs taken is more than just about looking good. It can also help boost your confidence and self-esteem by showing off who you really are without having to rely on filters or heavy makeup. Knowing that there is an amazing shot of yourself tucked away in your photo album can be helpful when times get tough, especially during job searches or auditions where rejection is inevitable at times.

    Create Different Projects With Adobe Express

    Once you have chosen the perfect photo from your session, consider using Adobe Express to create different projects with professional results. This program allows users to easily create professional-looking cards, logos, websites, and portfolios with ease, and the program is extremely budget-friendly. Here are a few examples of the projects you can make with Adobe:

    • Create a custom business card that shows off the personality of your business. This is perfect for networking no matter what field you’re in. Use the free Adobe Express app to build your card in no time.
    • Design a professional banner for LinkedIn and show potential employers what you’re all about. This is an easy way to catch their eye and show off your personality at the same time. Make sure the finished banner is uncluttered for maximum effectiveness.
    • If you’re a business owner, make a company brochure that includes your headshot. This is an easy-to-read format for customers when you have a lot of information to share. Add photos of your products or the business itself to make it more dynamic.
    • Make a stunning photo card to send out to friends or family. This is perfect for milestone events, such as graduations, or you can use it to announce an upcoming creative event such as a book launch or art show. Adobe’s tools make the process super quick and easy.

    Investing in professional headshot photography is an invaluable investment when looking at enhancing your career prospects long-term, no matter what industry you are working in. Not only does it increase your chances of standing out among other applicants/performers, but it also provides you with tangible photos to use for promotional projects. With the right photos, you can boost your career immeasurably.
