The Maverick Special: A Unique Experience And Style In The Edmonton Headshots Scene!

Written By Marcus Rideout

Every now and then it’s fun to break the rules of headshot photography, and what started as a fun little creative endeavour at the end of headshot sessions with clients quickly led to capturing some of their favourite images from the entire session!

So here’s a little gallery that introduces what I like to call, “The Maverick Special”.

If you find yourself in my studio, make sure to ask about trying it out - we’ll capture some cool photos of you in this style to pair with your traditional headshot photo too. Look cool while feeling comfortable.

Enjoy!

PS: You can learn more about the technical aspects as well as what inspired my philosophy and approach with this style of photo here. (TL;DR Awesome vertical framed headshot with extremely shallow depth of field creating a strong sense of connection to your eyes)
