Thanks. I'm not exactly sure what he's using it for so that's why it's a general purpose head shot. Every so often I get clients that are not actors or models and just want a head shot. For all I know it could be for a Facebook profile photo. These days that's very popular. I've gotten clients that want photos for dating sites too.

It's actually been proven that people with a good photo of themselves on Facebook and other social media makes a difference. A pic of your cat, while cute and cuddly, doesn't have the same effect. :)
