Headshots & Model Portfolios

Highlands Ranch Photographer David Sutphin

Here’s a series of photos from a photo session I did for Chuck. Chuck’s wife, Cayla, is the owner of an event modeling agency: SuspenceModels, based here in Denver.

Our objective was to create a variety of headshots and portraits of Chuck that he could use for business (headshot) as well as family and friends. Chuck also writes a blog type fitness page on Facebook. So we had several different kinds of portraits we wanted to shoot during his session.

First up were some natural light headshots. Above left is one of the 2 final ones he picked. Above right was a different kind of headshot we did in one of the studio’s shooting rooms.

With the headshots out of the way, we did several different setups with light and clothing changes to give Chuck (and Cayla) a variety of different looks to pick from.

And finally we wrapped with a more dramatic lighting setup to get more highlights and shadows on Chuck’s physique. Nice job Chuck!

Reviews

David is not just a great photographer, but an artist as well….I could not be happier with his work. Don’t waste your time and money with someone else!

I went to David after a session with another photographer which didn’t turn out as I had wanted. David immediately followed up with me after I registered my session with him online. He walked me through the process and sent me emails with hints on how to prepare for my session. He treated me like a star which helped put me at ease. He is definitely the man for the job! I highly recommend a session with David. You will come out more confident about your prospects online!

Although everyone should have a professional headshot in today’s workplace, I had been putting off getting this done for many reasons – not sure who to use, lack of time, and busy work schedule. I am certainly glad to have found David Sutphin. Not only does David have an enormous talent and passion for his work, he also made it a fun and simple process. I am very appreciative of David’s guidance and help in creating the perfect headshot to use on my work bio, social media, and LinkedIn.
