Headshots by Elaine Zelker Photography {Peter Hurley Headshot Mentor} Headshots are an essential for actors and models. For professionals, most likely your image shows up on-line, on sites such as Facebook, Google+, Twitter or LinkedIn, or your own personal website…and it’s that first impression that will showcase you the most. “Selfies” will not cut it. You need a headshot that is current, high quality and one that showcases YOU. We will attain that goal together. I want you to leave an impression on-line or with your comp card that instantly tells who you are. You only have one chance to make a first impression. The Session I typically shoot 3-5 different looks during the session. The goal is to get some “crazy good” shots that you are happy with. I will shoot you in an array of styles, poses and facial expressions. I normally shoot anywhere from 200-400 images during a session. This will help us get the head shot you are looking for. Afterward, we will sit down together and review all of the images on my computer and begin the approval process. After the approval process is complete, we are left with 30-60 final images, which are then uploaded to a private on-line, pass code protected proof gallery. This will allow you to go ...
1st time in front of the camera RACHEL...and she did FANTASTIC!!We did some EZP standard Head Shots first with my delicious grey backdrop, then hit the city streets of Easton, PA to capture some outside shots as well.

Happy Friday!! Here's a re-cap from a Head Shot Shoot I did last week. She walked into the studio and I immediately admired her young, smooth, creamy skin! She sat at the make up counter (with the amazing Alisha Nycole) and they went to work. 30-mins later she shy-ly got behind the lights and knocked it out of the park!! Then proceeded to tell me she was 41! WHOA!!! WHAT?? No way!!! Here is Kathryn!!! (Threw in some fun shots as well!!) photographer:Elaine Zelkermake-up by:www.alishanycole.com Have a great weekend!!

Over the past 3 years, I've been booking more and more young men for their Senior Portraits. They mostly come in timid and unsure, and mostly "annoyed" at their mom's for "making" them do this. However, about 5 mins into the shoot, things change. I see a confidence like no other. The shy smile turns into a confident gleam. The awkwardness turns into a expertise after about the 20th shot. They actually like this!! So, take a look at Matthew's Shoot....(he came in confident from the beginning however) and see how he shines!!!

I'm sure many of you in business wonder if you actually "need" a professional, new head shot.... Professional Head Shots should show you, showing your brand. Your character, your approachability and talent are the attributes that you work many years at creating. Showing off "you" in a single shot can be your most valuable marketing strategy. I often tell my clients that we need to create a head shot that is your "signature", your "leave behind", a picture that simply is YOU! Meet GINA!
