Ben Briones Studios 1 Comment

Headshots are the entryway to landing acting job so getting great photos is important to you if acting is the end goal as a career. I had the opportunity to photograph Hillary at my home studio in McAllen, Texas. Hilary was getting read to move to California to pursue her acting career and she needed a few headshots to give out to agents. We did a 3 outfit head shot session with black background so she could be the center of attention. Here are my favorite shots from this professional head shot photo session. 2019-03-24_00092019-03-24_00102019-03-24_00112019-03-24_00122019-03-24_00132019-03-24_0014

Emily & PJ Engagement – Hidalgo Pumphouse – Ben Briones Studios

Ben Briones Studios Leave a comment

The Old Hidalgo Pumphouse in Hidalgo, Texas is one of my favorite spots to shoot at because it’s so diverse in landscape and it’s very affordable as well. Those very reason’s is why we chose to take Emily & Pj’s Engagement photos there. This couple got in contact with me through a good friend, Ms. Georgette Rojas, who’s been friend with them for a very very long time through their parents. Georgette and her Dad have actually done a few photo shoots with me.

We took the couple around the whole venue taking beautiful shots of them around the building and the greenery. I really loved the outfit they had on because it was “fancy” yet casual enough to blend in with the rustic-ness of the Old Hidalgo Pumphouse. Here are some of my favorite shots from this engagement photo shoot.

Nick Moore – Attorney Head Shots – Ben Briones Studios

Ben Briones Studios Leave a comment

This week we had Mr. Nick Moore, a local attorney, stop by the Studio for professional head shots. Mr. Moore brought in two sports coats, which was perfect for the backgrounds we had setup for him. A mutual friend and fellow attorney, Ignacio Mendoza, referred Nick to us. A few months back we took Ignacio’s attorney head shots as well.

Depending on what the attorney does we try our best o get the best look for him or her. We tried a variety of positions and facial expressions for Mr. Moore and these seem to be my favorite shots. Take a peek and enjoy!
