Are you planning a headshot day for your colleagues in the office? Or maybe you’re hosting a conference and need a headshot booth? Either way, choosing the right photographer for your corporate headshot project can be a daunting task.

Let’s be honest, seeing yourself through the lens of high-resolution photography can be daunting. Many of us are accustomed to the forgiving nature of Instagram filters or Zoom enhancements, which skew our perception of reality. This shift can make viewing unretouched headshot proofs a challenge.

Large format banners not only serve as a powerful display of team pride at games, competitions, and fundraisers but also play a crucial role in building morale among players and fans alike. Typically showcased on stadium fences or gym walls, these banners can range from 6 to 8 feet wide, offering a grand visual statement.

As we step into 2024, the question of what to wear for a headshot session remains as prevalent as ever. It's a topic I discuss repeatedly, given its importance, but it's crucial to remember that while your outfit plays a significant role, it shouldn't overshadow you.

You wouldn’t believe the range of expectations I see when it comes to retouching and your professional headshot. Many of my clients and I are on the same page, but some do require some coaxing back to reality.

By now, it’s no secret that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is nudging its way into every nook and cranny of the professional world. It’s reshaping the way we operate, yet I stand firm in my belief that it’s not ready to steal the spotlight just yet, especially not in the nuanced field of people photography. Let me share a snippet of my experience with AI in the studio.

In this post and video, I explain why it's best to keep the background simple when photographing your headshot. The benefit is maximum flexibility in the future! If you haven't heard of PNG files, prepare to be amazed!

Many of my clients are seasoned experts in their respective fields, with years of hard-earned wisdom etched on their faces in the form of gray hairs and wrinkles. And let me tell you, friends, that's a badge of honor, not something to hide away. I get it, we all want to hold onto that youthful appearance from our 30s, but here's the reality: age and experience are highly sought after qualities when it comes to hiring a true professional.

Are you planning a headshot event at your office? Have you picked out the best conference room or lobby space to have the photographer set up? I’ve found big differences between what clients think makes a great studio space and what doesn’t.

Is a new headshot on your list this year? Deciding what to wear is sometimes more stressful than the actual session (and neither are worth stressing about!).
