Here’s how you get headshots that work.👇 ❌

Here’s how you get headshots that work.👇

❌ Different looks DOES NOT mean changing outfits and giving the same face in each one!

⚡️The Mom cannot have the same sultry, seductive essence as the Love Interest.

By doing so, you’re sending a contradictory message in your image.

On one hand, you’re communicating you’re sexy; on the other hand, your outfit totally does not match sexy!

❌ The Blue Collar Guy cannot have the SAME confident charm as the Leading Man.

You get the idea.

⚡️When you change outfits to convey a different look, you also need to change THE ESSENCE of the character, or it won’t work.

✅ Your essence changes when you ACT on camera instead of posing for the camera.

✅ THAT’S what gets you different looks.

Here you can see Dea changing her essence from the Student, to the Friend to the Love Interest.

What do you think of Dea’s marketing looks?👇

You need to know this!👇 RAIN is not a problem

You need to know this!👇

RAIN is not a problem when you know how to use a little fill light!🔆

With natural light I was perfectly exposed at ISO: 3200, f/2.8 and 1/160.

By adding fill light, I was able to overexpose by one full stop.

This is especially useful even if you don’t over-expose but you’re photographing a very dark skinned subject where you may not even be able to get perfect exposure because it’s too dark.😎

Too many photographers make this mistake.👇

🚫 Having a website full of ALL the categories of photography they can do.

✋🏻Raise your hand if this is you! Cuz we’ve all been there, believe me.

Weddings? Sure, I got you!
Cororate portraits? Yup, that’s me!
Lifestyle? Uhu, here’s my pricing!
Interior photography? Yes, I can do that!
Food photography? Got that too!

✨ Do you see the problem?

You think that if you shoot everything, you’ll make more money.

❌ But in fact, the opposite is true.

✅ MOST people are looking for an expert to solve their problem.

And if you’re a jack of all trades, you’re not an expert.

And therefore, you won’t be paid like an expert.

✅ The expert ALWAYS garners more trust and can demand higher fees.

Wow! I shot a real influencer👇

@catieosaurus

✅ She got to 72K followers (as of this posting) just by being herself and doing what makes her happy... when the pandemic happened.

✅ And that lead to acting opportunities.

✅ Which led her to get headshots AFTER she had already gotten some work.

So...

⚡️If you’re still fighting being your authentic self here on IG and having fun while you’re at it, you are missing out on so much!!

👉 Being on IG is good for business and YOU are in showbiz! Remember that.

Oh and Cate is so many things at once.
