I have to say Thank you to all of the locals for thinking of us for their need in photography. I truly appreciate it. Last year, we had a record year for Corporate Headshots, and it looks like this will continue. Companies have asked us outside of our area for Corporate pictures. While I like the gray background, we have been asked for white background, and we can accommodate that. But, you may ask, why gray? For advertising agents, they can easily change the background color to what may work best for their advertising ad. Thank you again.

Head Shots
Business this year has been good with Head Shots. Why? With social media and jobs, people do not need a selfie but a high professional picture. Me, I do two types of backgrounds. I use Gray and use white on request.
The nice thing with my setup, I can do these anywhere. When I mean anywhere, I mean anywhere. I have done them in a garage, hallways, small rooms, and even outside.
Headshots are changing today from what I like with the above to cutting off some of the head. Everything changes, and it's our job to stay with what is new. Then as I have said numerous times, practice. You can't be good without practice in anything. Thank you, everyone, for your trust in me this year with your headshot; I look forward to more.

Business Headshot
Today more than ever, business headshots are so important. With many more people working from home and more and more jobs opening, it is essential to have a professional headshot. This was no exception to this person that means everything to me. You got it, my wife Lisa. For the first time since I have been taking pictures, she finally let me take a picture that we would keep. Lisa wanted an updated headshot, so with that said, I set up my lights for what I like doing headshots. This time I used a 3 three light setup. In less than 5 minutes, we had what I wanted and done.
After the pictures were taken I had Lisa picked her favorites by using Lightroom. Next was just sharpen her eyes and hair and that would be it. But I did not stop there. I use a gray background for my headshots because I think it looks nice but also it easy to take in Photoshop and change it to any color or background of choice. That is what I did here.
Believe it or not, a happy wife with a picture that she can now use on her social media. Now on to the next Headshot.
Head Shots
Head shots are so much fun. For me, I use a two light setup that I can do just about anywhere. When II mean anywhere I mean anywhere. I have and shared doing in a parking lot. Doing them in a hallway and many other area’s. This was not the case with the pictures above. This was luxury, got to do in a conference room.
What made this interesting is that we had about 1 hour to do about 42 people. No problem, everyone was on time and all we needed to do is wait for the moment and then take the picture. For this group I took about 4-5 and picked the best 3 in my view.
I do post in Lightroom and very little Photoshop at times. Photoshop to remove any marks on the face that are not suppose to be there.
This was a great group and now onto the next group different company. 142 Headshots and see group shots.
