Fstoppers has partnered with Dylan Patrick, a highly acclaimed headshot photographer whose work is in great demand across New York and Los Angeles. His portraits and actors’ headshots are instantly recognizable thanks to their distinctive, cinematic style. Together, they’ve created a 6‑hour tutorial titled The Cinematic Headshot, where Dylan reveals his complete workflow — from guiding his subjects and setting up lighting to refining the final images in post‑production.
No Studio? No Issue
Dylan’s story is particularly inspiring: within just one year, he transitioned from a struggling actor and bartender to a full‑time portrait photographer — and he achieved this without relying on a studio space. While working with natural light outdoors can be challenging, Dylan’s approach effectively captures the polished quality typically associated with studio setups, right on location.
Discover the Essential Gear
One of the strengths of Dylan’s method is its accessibility. He’s streamlined his kit to a minimal yet powerful setup: a single camera, one lens, two speedlights, one reflector, and two modifiers. This straightforward gear list means photographers with any budget can replicate his results without needing costly equipment.
Master Lighting in Any Condition
The core of Dylan’s photography isn’t about high‑end gear—it’s about knowing how to make the most of what you have. In the tutorial, he demonstrates lighting techniques for a wide range of scenarios: from ideal conditions to brutally harsh light and even nighttime shoots. His strategies are designed to help you achieve consistent, professional results no matter the location or time of day.
Unlock the Secrets of Post‑Production
Half of Dylan’s signature look comes from his coaching and lighting choices; the other half stems from his meticulous editing process. The tutorial includes four RAW files so you can follow along step by step as Dylan transforms them in Photoshop. With more than three hours of detailed editing instruction, you’ll gain the skills needed to bring your own portraits to a world‑class standard.
