There isn’t much difference from Noah’s onstage persona and his offstage one. Noah is very down to earth, simple and a gentleman in the making.  It was wonderful to get some one-on-one camera time with a very talented young actor like Noah. Most may have seen him on “My Name is Earl” as young Earl and Nickelodeon’s movie, “Swindle”.

the head shot

When it comes to head shots, sometimes all you need to do is take a deep breath and smile. It’s natural to tense up in front of the camera sometimes, but all you really need to do is let loose your personality and the rest is easy 🙂 For this session, Brian did great following through with direction and some squinching (a term that portraitist Peter Hurley coined, although it’s an actual word in the dictionary, for the action of squinting your eyes in such a way as to portray confidence and self-assurance as opposed to the fear and uncertainty that you project when you stare wide-eyed at the camera) so we got through three wardrobe changes in half and hour.
