The Art of the Headshot

A great headshot is all about capturing the person.   They need to look their best.  Clean, clear – perfect is your goal.  Remember they need to look like this when they walk-in to the casting or it’s all over.

Taking a headshot seems easy.  But so many photographers don’t know all the tricks to make a great headshot.

We will start with the basics and show where a few simple changes can make a huge difference in the final result.  Take your headshots to the next level with all these techniques.  You won’t want to miss this.

And of course these all translate to portraits too, so you will get lots of use out of what you learn.
