I’ve been doing headshots for a bunch of musician friends over the past few months. It’s a pretty enjoyable way to spend time, and mutually beneficial as well. My subjects always start out kind of awkwardly smiling into the camera for a few seconds, then turning away, self-conscious, and I like the process of getting them to gradually forget about the camera and act as though we’re just hanging out. Here are some of my favorites so far:
Andrew Norman, composer
Chris Cerrone, composer
Jessica Chang, violist
Ted Hearne, composer, singer, bandleader
Jay Wadley, composer
Anne Lanzilotti, violist, and Juan-Carlos Fernandez Nieto, pianist
