Model Hua Zhang with make up by Alexandra Sorgi.

I shoot a lot of portraits for various clients, both editorial and commercial. So when I approached a make-up artist about her
casting call to shoot commercial heads shots, I was game.

Sunday I headed to the studio to meet with Alexandra Sorgi and two models – Hua Zhang and Jeneka to do the project.

It was a pretty simple shoot, as some would call it boring, straight forward head shots.

I arrived a little early to get the studio set up for the shoot. We would be using the studio’s cyc wall, so I set up three of my
White-Lightning strobes – one with a octabox to the right, another with a softbox to the back left. The third was on our
boom aimed into the wall to give a clean white background.

As always, I used my Nikon D3 cameras but for this shoot I used my Nikon 28-70 f:2.8 lens for the majority of the shoot.

Everyone involved was happy with the way the shoot went, and I think we made some nice images.

A few of my favorites:

Alexandra darkened Jeneka's lips for the right photo, which we both liked.

Hau Zhang.

Jeneka.

Tight head shots of Hua.
