Creating something timeless…. “Music's staying power is a function of how timeless the lyrics, song and production are.” Gary Wright. In a world where content and what is trending comes and goes in the blink of an eye, creating something truly timeless is both a challenge and aspirational. Whatever your field: an artist, a writer, a designer, or an entrepreneur, the desire to leave a lasting impact with your work is the ultimate legacy. Last week at Royal Albert Hall, I photographed some iconic artist of the British urban music scene. This included Harvey from SO SOLID CREW. I watched So Solid perform a track to an audience, most of whom were not yet born when the track was released in 2001. And yet the audience appreciated the track by ecstatically miming word for word, creating an incredible atmosphere in the auditorium. In the realm of photography, there exists a transcendent quality that goes beyond mere aesthetics – it's the essence of timelessness. As a headshot photographer, my work is about encapsulating the very essence of an individual, creating a timeless piece of work that resonates for years to come. Creating a timeless headshot is focusing on lighting, authenticity, connection, and attention to detail. A timeless headshot becomes more than just a photograph – it becomes a legacy, preserving the essence of the subject for generations to come. Some thoughts on your legacy please? #celebrityheadshots #Headshot #Bath #musicindustry
Well he looks quite grumpy in that shot
That sounds like a great day out Darius.
When we're photographed we're told to smile, but this says much more about the character.
My legacy? A world full of hearts on fire leaders creating organisations that are a force for good
I may be old fashioned but I do prefer a smile.
It is the authenticity that I admire so much in your photography, Darius
Sounds like a great experience, i have been to the Albert Hall to see concerts so its must be great to be back stage to see whats going on Darius Jean

6moWow! Stirring stuff Darius Jean! Thank you. Copywriter Pro's legacy? I guess I'd be pretty pleased if a few people, through my efforts could come to appreciate the different ways that words can make people feel - as so beautifully expressed by my inspiration, the late Maya Angelou - 'People may forget what you did. They may forget what you said. But they will never forget how you made them feel.' And that ... is what good writing should do - make people feel.
