Help me... First "Actress" Portfolio! What should I do?

[Fellipe de Paula]

Hi... I've been quoted to make a photo portfolio for an actress "to be". Although I know I shall give more importance to her facial and body expression I really never saw something like that before... Please, anyone here could send examples so I can "inspire" myself!!

Thank you so much!

Hi Fellipe,

do a search on google, when you find what kind of images you want to do save them to a folder or bookmark them or print them, then you can go from there. Usually do some smile, unhappy, sad, crying maybe? if shes an actress of sorts she'll be able to turn these on like a tap ;-). use a basic plain background, nothing messy. can she jump, dance, ballet, ? cover what ever shes good at. hope that helps.

Enhance her image using available/supplemental lighting. Minimize her weaknesses. Let her express her feelings freely. Let her act cute, silly, laugh, enjoy, and play. Do that with all actresses. Do that with all non-actresses.
