LinkedIn Awaits Your New Headshot

January 3, 2012 by Sal Sessa | Comments Off

Howdy, folks.

Well, New Year is here and it is time to hit the ground running.  For those in business, these days LinkedIn is the place to be. Thing is, though? There sure a lot of folks who just do not put much thought into their headshot on the LInkedIn website. And, of course as we all know, “first impressions,” etc. So, I’m just sayin.’  We do _tons_ of headshots for LinkedIn, and much, much more.  If you are thinking your headshot needs a refresh, please feel free to call and let us show you how easy we can make it happen.  Here are a few of the hundreds we have done in the recent past.

Get “A Head” (shot) for 2012

December 5, 2011 by Sal Sessa | Comments Off

Well? Where did the year go?  We have not posted much here lately, just due to time restraints, but next year will be posting more “month-by-month” recent headshots (vs. our web page) and other tidbits, here and there.  But for today, I just want to push anyone over the top if they are considering a new professional business headshot for 2012. If you want to be up and running for LinkedIn, Facebook, company archives, printed materials, PR, etc. don’t wait.  December is a great time to “get it done.”  Think sometime before the 15th. That way when January kicks in,  you are already on the ground running. Here are a few from 2011 that we grabbed as quick samples. More, later.  Sooner.

Beyond Men’s Headshots

October 1, 2011 by Sal Sessa | Comments Off

Had the pleasure of shooting Steve W. in my studio this past week.  When he walked in I immediately knew he was a candidate for a “more creative” type headshot.  So, here we would like to point out a tone we use all the time call “Platinum Tone,” and what we do to make it look good.   Platinum tone is a variation on B&W on the “cold” side of the temperature spectrum.  It is classy, and classical.  We offer it as an “add-on” to a regular session, and use it quite a bit.  With Steve here we did a few things.  Of course? We’re not going to tell you the recipe to “all our secrets,” but at the end we add heavy grain which completes the Platinum tone to create the feel of a heavy-grained black and white film look. So, just a head’s up (pun intended) to point out that when you walk into a professional headshot photographer‘s studio you should always get the best you deserve.  At our local headshot and  portrait studio (and on location) we prove day- in -and- day- out that a headshot’s not “just a headshot” but can be much much more.

Casual Business Headshot Portraits

September 27, 2011 by Sal Sessa | Comments Off

We have had the pleasure this year of shooting headshots for the Hill-Wilkinson Company here in Richardson.  This is a great company (voted Best Places To Work) in Dallas by Dallas Business Journal and we can see why.  The “top brass” and the “rank and file” were over / above some of the nicest, most professional and fun folks we have worked with this year. We shot close to 100 headshots in 3 sessions, as well as a large group photo for them as well.  The most fun about shooting for them is we had 6 a.m. start times. Yikes!  Yes.  Since these guys need to “get out into the field” we arranged to set up beforehand and start to “move them in and move them out” at 6 a.m. A first for us! Above sample is from a few of the folks that have come by my studio for their headshots vs. the location shoots we have done at their offices.  We wanted to post these to show how a professional headshot can look great with a “casual Friday” type look. Whatever the “corporate culture” of a company is, you can count on us to show it off at it’s best.  Whether it be doctors, lawyers, real estate agents, money managers, etc. we promise to help you put your “best face forward.”

Business Headshots on Location

September 21, 2011 by Sal Sessa | Comments Off

Had the pleasure this past week to shoot business headshots over at the offices of NTHC (North Texas Housing Coalition.)  We set up to shoot not only staff, but the entire Board of Directors as well.  The above shot is just a sample from 30 executive portraits that we did in a two hour session.  These office sessions are a lot of fun, but can be hectic.  Especially as, in this case 20 people were waiting “on  line” after their meeting broke out early.  When you have 20 folks staring you while you work, looking at their watches thinking about rush hour traffic,  you better not only be good, but you better be fast! LOL.  We think, in this case we were both.  Hopefully our client agrees, as we think these shots turned out very nicely.  Please see our “top ten tips for office headshots” on how to prepare your office for this type of session and feel to call us with any questions  you may have.
