Headshots
Photographers on Portraiture
“In a portrait, I’m looking for the silence in somebody.”
— Henri Cartier-Bresson
“To see people as they are, as they imagine themselves, as they wish to be. To be witness, the friend, the judge, the accomplice. To record their moment.”
— Annie Leibovitz
“My photography is more subtraction than addition. I always try to take off things. We all have a sort of mask of expression. You say goodbye, you smile, you are scared. I try to take all these masks away and little by little subtract until you have something pure left. A kind of abandon, a kind of absence. It looks like an absence, but in fact, when there is this emptiness I think the interior beauty comes out.”
— Paolo Roversi
“A book was once published of twenty photographs by twenty photographers, of the same model. They were as different as twenty paintings of the same model. Which was proof, once and for all, of the flexibility of the camera and its validity as an instrument of expression. ”
What People Are Saying
“I asked Kennon for a headshot for my novel and author website. Are there people who enjoy having their headshots taken? I’m sure there are. I, however, am not one of those people. I worry about my smile and whether I’ll look silly or not. I say all of this because I could not be happier with the way my photo turned out thanks to Kennon’s talent and professionalism. We tried out a variety of poses and lighting and through it all Kennon was patient and encouraging. She put me at ease and made the shoot a lot of fun. Not only did I get an excellent headshot, I also found a new photographer to follow and enjoy. I love seeing Kennon’s portraiture and other photography.”
— John B.
“When I needed headshots for my professional profile, Kennon was quick to respond. She listened to what I needed and what I wanted to project in my headshot. Kennon talked me through the process and made it really easy to be myself. Kennon is a joy to work with and delivers amazing results.”
