Studio J is now HEADSHOTS ONLY

I’ve always wanted to specialize in one thing;  to invest all of my effort, talent and resources into something I love doing and take that to another level.

I’m excited to announce that, starting now, Studio J Photography will be headshots exclusively – expressive, natural, confident portraits for professionals, entrepreneurs, academics and actors.   The following ad gives some idea of what Studio J headshots are all about;

Individual portraits are what first turned me on to photography . . . and that was from the sense I got of the person in a great portrait.  For me, it’s the person that’s interesting; not the photo.  When I opened my studio in July 2008, my slogan – and my chief talent as a photographer – was “Portraits that Radiate Personality”.    I like a simpler tagline now – “The Headshot Specialist” – but I don’t think my mission has changed much.  I’ll just be much more focused on it now.

For those viewing the ad on a smaller screen, the words read;

“

Natural portraits of you.

Comfortable in your own skin
– Confident –
happy to be yourself and not
“project an image” to impress.
Playing up your native strengths.
Showing your real character
and personality.

Unique because you ARE unique

Unposed.
because a photographer
telling you how to sit,
where to put your hands,
where to point your chin –
is using someone else’s
body language – not yours!
Pasting the same directed smile
on your face as everybody else’s
is asking you to pretend to be
someone you’re not.

Pretending to be someone you’re not . . .
looks stiff and awkward –
and the exact opposite of confident!

Confidence means
feeling great about being yourself
– fearlessly expressing your thoughts,
your values, your feelings,
your strengths, your opinions,
your tastes and your wishes.
You can look great AND

Be Yourself
