Artificial Intelligence is all the rage these days. It is truly remarkable what an AI app or program can do to create headshots from an iPhone photo, or produce passages of text based on a series of prompts. But, as in the case of a headshot photo, it’s really no substitute for a professional headshot photographer. AI can’t provide you with solid advice on wardrobe choices, expression or how to create a headshot that puts you in the best position for a new job or promotion. AI isn’t in the room there with you to work with you to ease any fears you might have in front of the camera and to find the best ways to navigate the experience.
As a professional headshot and branding photographer, my singular mission is to ensure clients leave with exactly the types of images they will need to show them as confident, approachable and professional. I want each of my clients to have that edge for a new job or promotion, or in the case of entrepreneurs, to keep existing clients and attract more clients in the future.
Some professions call for headshots with a certain edgy vibe. Other professions require a softer or more sophisticated approach. Still other professions might need a mix of expressions and styles, especially those that use social media to create posts for different audiences or different messaging. Only a photographer who specializes in headshots and personal branding can best guide you on which headshots will carry the biggest bang for the buck and put you in the right position to leverage it for your goals.
It goes without saying that we are often our own worst critics or look at ourselves in a different light than others, especially strangers. What we might find off-putting is actually our “super power” but we’re blinded by preconceived notions about how we look. As a headshot specialist who has worked with countless executives, entrepreneurs and creatives, I can provide that unbiased eye to your headshots. I will see you as the world sees you through your headshot. And did you know it takes less than a second for someone to form an opinion of you from your headshot? The goal is to grab someone’s attention — and then hold it — so they seek out more information about you or decide to do business with you.
I am invested in your success. And that for sure is something that AI is not.
