The Headshot

What is a headshot?  Wikipedia defines a headshot as: “A headshot is a photographic technique where the focus of the photograph is a person’s face”.  This is the main objective of the headshot – to show a person’s face.  Everything else including clothing, jewelry, and accessories are secondary.  However, these things can add or detract from the face if not planned appropriately.  I like to guide my clients towards clothing and backgrounds that are similar in tone and color so that the emphasis becomes the face.  A professional photographer will use lighting, posing, and expression to create a genuine reflection of you.  So come to your headshot session prepared to relax and have fun!  The most real smiles come when we can relax and just get to know you.

Cynthia, Executive Coach

Cynthia needed a headshot for her business.  She is an executive coach who helps people reflect and find their own future goals.  Sometimes those goals are in a current position and other times it may mean a whole shift in your career.  Cynthia is great at listening and helping people find that next step in their career path.

“Professional coaching is a creative, thought-provoking process where you as a client partner with your coach in a co-active relationship designed to help you get more of what you want out of life.  In professional coaching, you — the client — set the agenda and the goals. The coach supports and challenges you every step of the way to reach your goals. The coach also holds you accountable for shifting your perspective and taking action toward your own goals. At the heart of successful coaching is your commitment to initiating change, setting goals and creating specific, actionable solutions.  Coaching is not for everyone – but for those with the courage to step outside of their comfort zone to get more out of life and live without regrets, the results can be gratifying, even thrilling.” See more on her website at http://cynthiapike-fuentes.com/.

Shutter speed is one of those things that feels confusing… until it clicks. 😉📸

For headshots, you don’t need anything complicated — just a solid, consistent range and an understanding of how your lighting plays into it.

Most people step in front of the camera thinking, “I have no idea what to do.”

That’s where I come in.

Every small adjustment you see here — posture, hands, angles — is intentional. It’s what turns a quick headshot into something confident and professional.

If you want to learn the poses I rely on most, I put together a guide breaking them down.

If you’re just getting into headshot photography, it’s easy to feel like you need everything to get started.

You don’t.

A solid light setup, a reliable camera, and a lens you can trust will take you a lot further than you think.

📸 For me, that looks like a Nikon Z7II mirrorless camera + a 70–200mm lens, paired with a simple lighting setup that keeps things consistent and professional.

It’s not about having the most gear — it’s about having the right setup and knowing how to use it.
