HEADSHOTS CHICAGO
IS YOUR HEADSHOT HOLDING YOU BACK?
CONFIDENCE
Your confidence is going to come from your eyes. You want to avoid that deer in the headlights look to drive home the fact that you’re an expert in your field.
APPROACHABILITY
Approachability is a combination of the body language and the smile. Not all smiles are created equal therefore, if it looks fake, you can forget about looking approachable.
PSYCHOLOGY
What are you trying to convey with your headshot? Does your current head shot get the job done, or is it costing you opportunities? Is your personal branding positioning you properly to get the work you’re looking for?

CORPORATE HEADHOTS
Sound familiar? Fear not. I get this ALL the time from my corporate headshot clients. Anyone can click the shutter on camera, but it takes an expert like myself to coach you from behind the camera.

This is one of those scenarios in life where you absolutely get out what you put in. Creating an convincing professional headshot is a team effort.
