info_outlineAJ Coots (@AJCPhotography on twitter) joins host Craig Price to discuss storytelling headshots. Be it for your LinkedIn profile, your business cards, website or promotional material, if you are in business, at some point you will need professional headshots. What will your headshot say about you? Many people don't even think about that before the get their pictures taken. They assume the photographer will snap a shot and they'll be on their way.
AJ Coots specializes in storytelling headshots. Pictures that show people who you are immediately and what you are all about. Since many times our headshot is the first time someone looks at us, people make snap judgments on what they see. AJ and Craig discuss how to pick a photographer, what the difference is between typical headshot photography and editorial photography. They also discuss finding the "hero shot" and techniques to make you less self-conscious when getting your photo taken. Somehow Craig's deflated bum is discussed and much more.
