I taught Portraits and Headshots this year at the studio. I decided to use Janet – one of my favorite MUAs – because she is so photogenic when it comes to head shots. I wasn’t disappointed.

I’m going to show you some images of Zinn doing glamour nudes in a bath tub, but I wanted to keep the headshot theme for now. This image was of Zinn show in the bath tub.

How Fast Can You Do a Headshot?
Last month Zinn Star was in Houston and was the model for my studio’s workshop. She was great and I got together with her the next day to shoot some stuff. Don’t have those ready yet, but she did have a special request.
She had this shirt she wanted to have her picture in, but she kept forgetting to ask one of us photographers to shoot her in it. At the end of our shoot, after I’d put away all the lights, she’d signed the release, and she was packing up to leaving town, she found the shirt again. She was dispondant that she hadn’t gotten a shot of it.
So I pulled my camera back out of the bag, stuck the card back in it and shot these images in about 5 minutes using natural light in the studio door way.
Niece Blue Shower Headshot
Before we shot on red in the bikini, we shot with a blue gel in a dress. We were going for a different kind of look.
Podcast Hosts Shawna Rencher And Ron Davis
The Photographer and Model Podcast Hosts Shawna Rencher and I got together for a shoot this last weekend and produced some cool stuff.
We had a number of goals. The first of which was to get some images for the podcast itself. This is the one that I retouched and posted first and it is now our profile pick on the Photographer And Model Facebook Page (go become a fan).

#7 – Toxic Punk Headshot
I wanted to shoot with model Toxic because her skin looked so perfect in all her images. I’m a sucker for good skin – one of the reasons I wanted to shoot Janet as well.
Toxic doesn’t like using other MUAs, so she did her own. Probably a little light for most of the images. But then I wanted to do something wild with face paint and she did this. I think she used gaffer’s tape on her skin to get those perfect lines.
This is a classic high-key beauty image, but she isn’t a classic high-key beauty. Beautiful but alt.
#9 – MUA Janet’s Smile
Catching expression is key to a cool image. Janet didn’t like any of the images from my shoot with her because she felt they made her look fat. But we still had a good time and I thought the images were beautiful.
This image is very wow. With a dash of pinup.
Janet In Blue
This shirt was actually the inspiration for the shoot. She showed up to do makeup in it once I thought colors really worked for her.
Janet In Leather
Janet Tillsman is on of my makeup artists. Matter of fact I grabbed on of my favorite headshots of Janet spur of the moment awhile back.
She has great skin and is very colorful. So I asked her to pose for me.
Hear we were going for that tough look. But Janet just can’t do tough.
