More advanced podcast

[tegan]

I also think you have a great voice for podcasts and I have experience directing audio voice-over work.

I would suggest an advanced podcast on portraiture dealing with maximizing positive features and minimizing the not-so-good ones. Preshooting approaches such as make-up and minor changes to hair style, through lighting and postprocessing to deal with problems such as:

a very round face, prominent nose, weak drooping eye, double chin, chin jutting out, mole, age marks, scar, long neck, long thin face, high forehead, balding, wrinkles, blemishes, zits, cold sores, etc.

other characteristics that make shooting more challenging such as

getting detail from black hair, keeping detail in very light blond hair, getting the red and veins out of eyes, brightening very dark coloured eyes, getting the colour right in very pale to very dark skin, etc.

picking appropriate clothes and colours to match the face and look of the model.
