Using props in your headshot

I think we were trying to create a 'lifestyle' kind of image with this one. The model, Gypsie, certainly got into the role of an entrepreneur and we got lots of good shots of her at her desk and using the phone. I don't know what I was thinking of, using an old GPO telephone (which actually still works perfectly well, even on today's phone network) but it makes for a much more graphic image than a modern mobile. In any case I love the look in her eyes. It was a very productive shoot.
