NYC actor headshot
The Hurley Squinch headshot puts you in tailored blazer over a clean neutral shirt — navy/charcoal/cream palette, set against pure white seamless paper backdrop, completely clean, no shadows on the paper. We light it with peter-Hurley signature setup — two vertical strip softboxes flanking the camera at 45 degrees with a below-camera kicker softbox, creating a brilliant triple catchlight in each iris and a perfectly even ratio across the face, 5500K daylight and grade it peter-Hurley clean editorial — bright whites, retained skin warmth, full midtone range, no grade shift, magazine-cover crispness. It reads as nyc actor headshot, and it's generated from a single selfie in about 60 seconds.
