"Not so headshot," headshots...I was very excited to hear from Josh, a fellow photographer and creative from east Tennessee. Oddly enough, Josh and I have a history that dates back almost twenty-five years. Josh and I went to school together as kids/teens and, as kids do, had an on-again-off-again friendship. A few years ago, Josh and I reconnected via Facebook and have rekindled our bromance. Josh is moving forward with several new endeavors and was in need of professional headshots that were in line with who he is as a creative, as a person. When clients contact me for any type of portraiture, I always do my best to find out what they really want for a product. For Josh, my investigation was no different. I wanted to know exactly what he was looking for. Josh did a great job articulating what he was after. When he said he needed, "not so headshot, headshots," I knew what he meant. I loved his description and realized that Josh wanted to create environmental portraits instead of the stale, white-background headshots that rule the roost (until the fade is over) on LinkedIn. While I am always keen to help others create any kind of portrait, I was stoked to hear that Josh wanted to spend his time out and about instead of in the studio. In the end, we had an amazing session. I got the chance to work with to reconnect with an old friend while making portraits. For me, it doesn't get any better than that. How does your profile look these days? Perhaps it is time to update your thumbnail on LinkedIn, Facebook, or even Tinder.
