Hollywood Headshots
At one time or another we have all reminisced over the glamour and quality of the old black and white images of the 40s and 50s as extolled by the virtuosity of photographers such as George Hurrell, made famous by his work at MGM, Warner Bros and Columbia Pictures.

Now shooting sunsets is no big deal, but if that sunset is a key component of a shoot that involves a subject that needs to be professionally lit, it is right up there with weddings and wars.
