What Makes Identity Headshots Unique

Most, if not all, of our clients approach the session (or perhaps even at the thought of booking) with trepidation. By the end of the session, the common statements would be something like the following statements: 

"I like this process!"

"I like this system!" "

"That was painless!"

How do we convert trepidation to relief and appreciation? How do we go from good headshots to great headshots?

It is all about what people have said: it is a process/system within a relaxed environment. We have a collaborative process with our clients while we are photographing so that the chosen photo is the best representation of them. Our goal is for your photo to connect with the target audience in a positive manner such that it hopefully leads to a business transaction between the two of you.

You can divide our session into 3 parts: 

1. The Icebreaker

  • Our headshot process have already started the minute you enter our studio.
  • We help you choose which clothes to wear if you are unsure
  • We get to know you and your professional background to gain an insight on how to 'attack' the session.

2. The Session

  • We will not force or enforce a person that is not representative of you. 
  • We have a systematic process that incorporates the photography 'eye' and the marketing 'eye' so that we can achieve what you are after which is customer engagement. 

3. The Deliberation

  • You will see your photos right away, with no editing to 'beautify' your photo.
  • Combining the marketing and photography perspectives during the deliberation portion of the shoot provides a unique, enlightening and fun experience for our client whilst resulting in a believable headshot photo.  
  • With over 1500* faces photographed and more than 75,000 images analysed under our belt, we bluntly assess our own work on the spot with our clients. We say things as they are. 
  • It all boils down to how we choose the right photo that is fit for your purpose.

Purpose is the operative word in our system. The professional headshot is meant to engage a unique audience that will connect to your unique personality. Hence the session will dig deep into the authentic impression a viewer will have when seeing your headshot photo. 

Expect to be treated as a unique professional with a unique audience.

Good to Great Headshots

Here is a summary of our services in a photo, or two. These are not your usual before and after images. They show how good and acceptable images can be made better. The small image inserted was taken by us around the one-minute mark of our session. During this time, we haven't fully guided or coached the person on the image yet. These may be acceptable to most people, but not by how we define a great headshot image. The bigger image shows a more engaged photo, full of confidence and fit for our client's purpose as a real estate agent.
