Musician Headshots - François Minaux, flutist
Monday, February 2, 2009
François was such a wonderful subject to work with. Headshots can sometimes be very predictable (and I believe it is always good to have some nice solid traditional headshots) but I love it when my clients want to share some of their creative thoughts for the session. It is fun to be able to do something unique as well!
Here is what François had to say about our session together:
“When I first saw my friend’s portrait online made by Raychel, I was impressed by the strong character and natural style of it. So I decided to contact Raychel to get my headshot in Austin.
I really enjoyed my hour long outdoor session with Raychel. We had time to use 5 different backgrounds within the same location. After making almost 200 shots, I could select 14 of them. I didn’t know that I was going to get so many good ones. It was hard to choose but I got exactly what I wanted: something authentic, natural and fresh. During the session, she made me feel relax and she was then able to capture a lot of different emotions from me. I actually saw expressions on my face that I wasn’t aware of before. After that she asked me what style of headshot I wanted, she was improvising on the spot and I could see her burning with ideas. Whenever a musician gets excited on stage during a concert for example, it’s usually contagious. I felt exactly that this was happening during my session and I hope that people will see it when looking at my photos. I could compare her style to something between a live performance and an interview. It was really exciting!”
