As I mentioned in my last post, a few of my photographer friends recently got together for a Headshot Shootout at one of their studios. It was pretty much an excuse to get together to chat and drink champagne, plus get some fresh headshots while we were at it! I haven’t updated my official headshot since like 2012, so I figured it was, um, time. It was totally fun to see everyone and hang out, and naturally a nightmare to be photographed. See, I’m just like you. I don’t enjoy that side of the camera any more than anyone else – especially since I’ve gained a lot of weight in recent years. I just feel a little more self-conscious than I used to. I feel a little less like myself, so I’m less comfortable (not that I started out enjoying it or anything, lol). So, I awkwardly sat in front of my friends and let them shoot me in the face, and it was super awkward but really encouraging and interesting to see the results! We all had access to the same lighting and just the one background to work with, but the photos still turned out different. It was fun to see how different each photographer’s shooting style and editing style was different. I thought I’d share some of the results here so you could get a taste!
