Headshots Chicago

Business Headshots Chicago

The era of the shadowy business-tycoon is over. Nowadays everyone’s connected, and a couple taps on a phone is all it takes for a potential customer to determine whether or not you’re someone that they’d like to do business with. People want to see who they’re doing business with. Science shows that 1/10th of a second is all that it takes for a stranger to make a lasting judgment about your competence.

With that in mind, a professional headshot is a powerful weapon to wield in this era of online judgment and a necessity to make a positive first impression. A well-done business headshot can help get you noticed, build trust with potential customers, and project positive traits like confidence, friendliness, and professionalism.  People want to see who they’re dealing with and your latest selfie isn’t going to get the job done.

A professional business headshot is the most immediate and effective way to make a positive impression, from plumber to CEO there’s not a working-person alive who couldn’t benefit from a well-done headshot.  Don’t believe it? Send me a convincing message telling me why I’m wrong and I’ll take your headshot for free.  I’m serious.

It’s 2019 and it’s time you come out of the shadows! Book a session and we’ll work together to produce a headshot that you’re excited to share with the world.

We’re living in a digital world and It’s never been so important to make a great first impression. Even with the impersonality of the internet, people want to see who they’re dealing with, and a professional headshot is the most immediate and effective way to make that first impression a positive one.

Like it or not, people are Googling your name – whatever your line of work – to decide whether or not you seem like someone that they’d like to do business with. The first photo they see is the one that will form a  lasting first impression . You can’t you afford to let it be a bad one.  A professional headshot allows you to control your image.

I know, having your photo taken can be a brutal experience, something akin to open mic comedy at the eye doctor. A stranger flashes some lights in your face while cracking a bunch of lame jokes.  Nearly-blind, you fork over half a month’s rent a walk away with something that you…like?  No. More likely it’s a photo you can live with. Anything to keep you from having to redo that experience.

 IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY! 

So, what makes me different and one of Chicago’s best headshot photographers?  I started this business with the goal of providing high-quality professional headshots and portrait photography at an affordable price. Simple as that!  (If you still find my prices to be too expensive, please message me and we can work something out.)

Ever stumble across a photographer’s website and get the sense that it’s more about them than the customer? Scroll down a bit and you’ll stumble come across some blabber about the “headshot system” they’ve developed or the “12 levels of psychology” they’ve mastered to create the world’s greatest photograph. Go ahead, book a session, just don’t be surprised if they try to sell you a t-shirt at checkout.

I make no claims to have revolutionized the concept of headshot photography. What I can tell you is that I’ve got 11+ years of full-time professional studio photography experience, that I love photographing people and that I will work tirelessly to make sure that I deliver to you a professional headshot that you’re excited to share with the world.

I tailor my sessions specifically to the individual needs of each of my customers.  No one-size-fits-all approaches here. I work in a relaxed atmosphere that will instantly put you at ease. I don’t charge retouching fees, additional outfit upcharges, proof sheet deposits or any of that other BS. My prices are true value for money – please, shop around. If you find somewhere charging less and producing higher-quality headshots, I’d love to hear about it.

I’m open late and on weekends so you can book a session and not miss work. How’s that for service?

Whether you’re a corporate professional in need of an updated business headshot, an up-and-coming performer looking for new actor headshots or if you just need a LinkedIn headshot, my affordable rates, and photography expertise will help you make the right first impression.
