Today's shoot- Art Sobczak!

Great shoot today!  Art is a true pro.  Author of the best selling business book "Smart Calling"....http://www.smart-calling.com/launch.html
I'm so pleased that he decided to stop by again. He doesn't live here, but makes it a point to come in for a photo shoot when he's "passing through"
Art is a member of NSA (National Speakers Association).  A few years back, I did an audio interview with NSA member Bill Stainton http://ovationconsulting.com/
The subject was "headshots and marketing photos for professionals".... geared towards speakers, but essential information for all business people.  Anyway, Art heard the interview and was inspired to call me for our first session.  This is what we did today.

Telling the Story of What you Do

Here's an example of some shots that aren't headshots but are appropriate to what these people do.
The first two are comedian Sam Adams.  The last is actually my group "Better than Biscuits".... thought a flour fight was in order with a name like that!

Corporate Headshots

A "headshot" doesn't have to be just a shot of your "head".  It can be a full-length shot or ultra close up and everywhere in between. What defines a "headshot" is the MESSAGE.  A headshot must say something.  The photographic subject has to connect with the viewer.
The "message" says....

I'm good at what I do.
I'm fun to work with.

This doesn't happen in a vacuum.  While some people may be naturally good at projecting this message to a camera , I'd venture to guess that there are many business people out there in the real world who are not good at having their marketing photos taken.
That's where I come in.
I've spent the last 30+ years working on a technique that is guaranteed to not only help you relax in front of my camera but help you to connect with my lens.
People who look at your picture will feel an instant connection with you. They will like you and trust you the instant they see your face on your website or marketing materials.
Here are some samples from the last couple of weeks.
