See some of my work on my website: highendheadshots.com. The hard skills of being a headshot photographer are the abilities to work with lighting, camera settings, and camera height, etc. to actually take a technically sound image. That would be enough if we were talking about a bowl of fruit, but we’re talking about a human face. In order to be qualified as a headshot photographer and not just a fruit photographer, a photographer needs soft skills too.An expression says a lot. I’m married; I know. I get in trouble all the time for things my face says.The soft skills of a high-end headshot photographer includes coaching my clients for expression. Professionals need an expression coach to be their mirror to see their expressions in front of the camera and coach them to confident and approachable expressions, so their headshots build trust and create connection with potential clients, mentors, and business partners.So it’s not just a matter of someone knowing how to handle a camera. For a headshot photographer, it’s much more important to be able to handle clients in a way that builds them up, teaches them how to present themselves on camera, and get the best out of them.During my coaching process, we review images in a meaningful way: on a laptop screen so we can really examine, assess, and learn from the headshots we have taken to that point.If you think I can help you with anything, please connect here and add a personalized note. And I’d love to be your next headshot photographer – and expression coach!
