Headshot Photography

Technology has narrowed the “final product delivery and expense” of headshot photography to hours instead of weeks at very reasonable rates.

Headshots are the “photo of choice” for many business professionals and are also the bread and butter for models and aspiring actors and actresses who want to put their public image in the best possible light. They capture the look, glance or nuance that the professional seeks to express to the world.

Advances in digital photography offers several options for headshot photography:

Professional Photographer: Experience is valuable as is the professional image. Many professionals offer a one hour sitting (approximately 30+ images of which 2 are selected). The selected images are than checked for exposure, color correction, cropping and basic retouch. Delivery of headshot prints along with a CD can be as prompt as the end of the session or up to several days. Cost varies depending on the experience of the professional.

Amateur Photographer: With the advances in digital cameras, even an amateur can deliver quality headshot photography along with prints and CD. Professional software and printers allow even the novice to check for exposure, color correction, cropping, basic retouch and print TOP quality images. And they can be delivered instantly, or the CD can be taken to the local Photo Shop to be processed in less than an hour at very reasonable rates.

Headshots are the professional’s image to the world. With today’s technological advances, they don’t have to break the budget, but they must be professional quality.
