The annual competition and exhibit, now in its seventh year, is one of our favorites at Julia Dean’s. A wide variety of capture processes are represented, using anything from pinhole and toy cameras to new digital capture techniques. Alternative prints processes may include cyanotypes, platinum & palladium, Polaroid transfers & emulsion lifts, gum prints, collodion wet plate process, and the use of liquid light. Almost anything goes, though the judges reserve the right to decide what alternative means.

This year’s judges were Ann Elliott Cutting and Kathleen McLaughlin.

Last week Brad participated in a lively discussion about headshot photography at LA’s TVI Actors Studio. Several of the points that were brought up were how to prepare for your shoot, working with your photographer, how to get the most authentic photos of yourself, how to follow up to get the best results after the shoot (processing, retouching, reproductions, online casting). Brad is always happy to share what he knows, and has participated on several panels and interviews over the years, including at AIA and AMDA, and in Back Stage and LA Casting.
