Lights, Camera, Foster: A Headshot Recreation

Inspired by Jodie Foster's recent Golden Globe win, the Photo Fabulous You team took on a little fun challenge: recreating her Golden Globe headshot. We analyzed the lighting, poses, looks and most of all had a ton of fun in the studio.

What has the Photo Fabulous You team been up to?

These past few months have been "photo fabulous" and some of the most fun we had this year. The weather has been pretty amazing, don't you agree. Our first trip to Vegas went very well with more than 5K photos to process, we got "AI'ed, and hung out with some of our favorite clients. Our highlight though was the Grand Opening of the new DELL EBC in Hopkinton. We simply had to take the opportunity and strike a pose ourselves. Let's see what fun these next two months bring.

Photo Fabulous Tips - How To Be More Relaxed and Confident At Your Photo Session

"I hate to have my photos taken". "I don't like to look at my own photos". If you caught yourself thinking the same, you are not alone out there. The fact is if you are a professional you probably have to have your professional photos taken sooner or later. This is where my YouTube video might come in handy. I would like to help you relax and feel more confident when you are going to your next photo session. So check it out.

PERSONAL PROJECT 2021 - MISS NOVEMBER

The personal project for 2021 is coming to an end. Only one more to go and with that I'm curious to hear how you liked it? Did you learn 1 or 2 new things about me? Was there something that stuck with you the most? If you don't want to share it openly please PM me. I would love, love, love to get your feedback. What are your thoughts on continuing this journey in 2022? I'm curious about your thoughts there as well.

Now let me tell you a few things about MISS NOVEMBER. What is she wearing here? Where is this anyways? Did this picture make you nervous?

Yes, this was my costume for Halloween, steampunk inspired. It was also the theme of my girl-friend's 40th birthday celebration this month, so I got double use out of it. Who doesn't like to dress up from time to time. In Germany we didn't have Halloween but got dressed up for carnival in February every year. I had many costumes over the years, from a prince (yes my neighbor was the princess and we were going as a pair) to a fearless viking. So fun! Do you have a favorite costume you dressed up in in the past?

PERSONAL PROJECT 2021 - MISS OCTOBER

On one of these posts I had to include my better half, Mr. October. He hates to be in front of the camera but when I stand with him in front of it, it makes it a little easier. One of my favorite spots here in our neighborhood and we took advantage of the magic colors of Fall. Who is this Mr. October? I met him djing at a night club and fell in love with him instantly. We were married eight months later but more importantly we are still married after 23 years. Started our lives together when we were in our twenties, cleaned homes on the Cape together, wait tables together, landscaped together and helped each other to go through many challenges. What do I like the most about Mr. October? He loves me with all my flaws, has the same passion for House music and makes me laugh every single day. I'm lucky to have this Irish lucky charm in my life.

PERSONAL PROJECT 2021 - MISS JULY

You are probably wondering what happened to Miss June and will there be a Miss July. Did Nicole abandon her 2021 personal project? Well she is back. Let me introduce you to Miss July. As my interns Sophia and Mia were having fun in the studio with assigned lighting challenges, camera angles and poses I stepped in front of the camera myself. Voila Miss July was born. What do you think?

Exciting news to report as the construction of Studio64 finally came to an end. A project that has been in the making since January and we are so so excited to start shooting in the new space. Maybe Miss August will give us a little tour.

What else can I share about this girl. You already learned quite a bit about her over these past few months. One of her favorite cities in Germany is Berlin but she only got to travel to it for the first time in 2001 for the famous Love Parade. She was one of 1.4 million dancers in the crowd. Her first piece of the Berlin wall she didn't actually see in Berlin but of all places on Nova Scotia.

PERSONAL PROJECT 2021 - MISS MAY

Hello Miss May. Where has the month gone? Besides the rainy Memorial Day weekend it has been amazing this month in my opinion. Decided to venture outside for this month's photo.

What can I tell you about Miss May? She has been to Iceland three times, seen the Aurora Borealis, swam in the Blue Lagoon and enjoyed the long summer nights. Her first travel TV show was on Iceland. She has not been to Africa, Australia or Asia yet. She speaks French and German. Her favorite cocktail is an Elderflower Aviation and one of the apps she enjoys the most right now is "Blinkist".
