“Atmosphere and aesthetics are high on this photographer’s list of priorities. But he also has the ability to bring out the essence of an actor’s personality within the constrictions of what casting directors require in standard theatrical and commercial headshots. McConkey consults with casting directors to get a sense of what they look for from basic smiley pics to the more moody, fun and creative shot.” - Lucia Mauro
