“Hello, thanks for choosing me for your new headshots!” Pete Davidson slouched in, getting into character. I’m not sure which character because I’ve never seen him in anything, but I wasn’t about to tell him that. This is my first time shooting headshots for an actual celebrity. “Okay, let me just… do a test shot real quick. Oops! Too much exposure.” “No worries, man.” His voice sounded different, but again, I’ve never see him in anything. “So, got any big auditions coming up soon?” I fiddle with the camera. He’s taller than I thought. “Oh, I’m just Pete Davidson’s stand-in.”
