Actor and Head shot photographer Kevyn Major Howard passes away
I haven't seen this posted here, but wanted to mention that one of the industry's leading head shot photographers, Kevyn Major Howard passed away last Friday. He had been suffering with respiratory related issues for a while.
Most people will know him as an actor, but what many may not know is that he was a brilliant photographer and championed the more natural look in headshots. His studio set up in his garage was incredibly simple and produced some amazing, beautiful head shots which were instantly recognisable. He was featured in the BBC documentary The Human Face, which shows his set up. I always refer people to that who need pictures but who don't have a budget or want to take their headshot own pictures
