but, that seems to be the case&#8230;\u00a0 Darin Brooks definitely qualifies as an actor who LOTS of people have a crush on.\u00a0 He&#8217;s probably always going to be known as Max Brady on Days of Our Lives &#8211; a part that he won a couple of Daytime Emmy&#8217;s for&#8230;nice job&#8230;.\u00a0 My mom and grandmother absolutely LOVE him, so I felt a tiny bit of nervousness knowing I&#8217;d been shooting his headshots.\u00a0 Not nervous to meet him or shoot him &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; nervous my Mom would show up at the shoot and scare the poor kid with all of her millions of questions!<\/p>\n<h3>Headshot Photographers<\/h3>\n<p>One thing I always tell friends who are getting into photography is that:\u00a0 when you have an absolutely amazing subject (like Darin) you don&#8217;t need much else.\u00a0 All the bells &amp; whistles of extravagant sets &amp; lighting can very often take away from the innate beauty of your subject.\u00a0 Darin was one of those subjects.\u00a0 Easy to take pictures of, because he was so open &amp; PRESENT.\u00a0 These shots were taken for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lahealthnews.com\/lahn2\/\">LA Health Magazine<\/a>, so I wanted to keep the image clean &amp; fresh anyway &#8211; so I used mostly natural light &amp; only accented with strobes.\u00a0 That&#8217;s something I like to do with all of my <strong>actor h<\/strong><strong>eadshots <\/strong>in general &#8230;.pure natural light is great for some things, but I find that a little accent light here &amp; there can really make an image POP.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re as big a fan of Darin as my Mom &amp; Grandmother, you can check out what he&#8217;s been doing lately on his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm1794688\/\">imdb page<\/a>, or check out a site dedicated to all things Darin \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/darinbrooksonline.com\/\">http:\/\/darinbrooksonline.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more examples of<a href=\"http:\/\/www.brandinphotography.com\/home\"> ACTING HEADSHOTS<\/a> visit my portfolio and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BrandinPhotography\">FACEBOOK<\/a> page \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0And if you have any questions, please feel free to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brandinphotography.com\/contact-photographer\">CONTACT<\/a> me &#8211;
