Aoife Kelly is a beautiful young girl studying in Dublin but with a second ambition to be an actress. Aoife contacted me with a request to have some head-shots made to send to agents, with this in mind we decided to create a variety of shots, outside in natural light and more stylised versions inside with studio lighting.
We felt this would give her options and would allow potential agents to see her in various looks.
The farm where I live gives great opportunities for interesting backdrops, I like the pattern and texture of this corrugated iron door and the green compliments Aoife's colouring beautifully.
A shaft of light coming into the old milking parlour touches on Aoife's face. The black and white version removes the distraction of colour and draws you to Aoife's eyes and how the light lands on her, highlighting her lovely bone structure.
The same but different.
The green colour of the farm gate is a lovely foil for Aoife's colouring, in contrast the B&W version has great impact drawing you to Aoife's eyes.
A look of Kate Bush or even Cathy in Wuthering Heights about this?
Having spent some time walking around the farmyard Aoife and I headed in to take some studio lit shots to give her more diversity in her portfolio of head-shots.
Aoife was a pleasure to work with and didn't mind one bit stepping her way through a farmyard in search of light and interesting backdrops, the best of luck to her in the future and I look forward to seeing her name in lights some day in the not too distant future.
