You deserve the best looking professional headshots and the best headshot photographer near New Homestead is right here at WDO Photography. When it comes to professional care and service, nobody in New Homestead can deliver for you like my team and I will. In fact, our dedication to ensuring that you feel comfortable, listened to, and respected is unmatched in the New Homestead area.
A Personal Approach To Your Headshots
Your headshot is going to serve as a first and lasting impression. As a result, it’s only right that your headshot matches you.
First, it should not only show people what you look like. After all, your driver’s license and passport do that and most of us hate showing people those photos. Rather, your headshot shouldn’t be a mugshot. In fact, it should tell people some things about you. Therefore, your headshot needs to show a bit of your personality. In order to do so, it needs to be personalized to you. This is why my team and I always work to not only understand what industry you’re in but who you are as a person.
In addition, you’re not just like everyone else who sits for a headshot. Therefore, you’re due a headshot which is based on who you are and not the lighting setup that was there when you walked through the door. If your photographer isn’t providing you with a personalized approach then you’re not their client, you’re just another photo.
New Homestead Headshot Photographers
There are a lot of headshot photographers around New Homestead and throughout the Pittsburgh area. That’s why it’s important to find your headshot photographer. How do you do so?
Choosing a headshot photographer
First, take a look at samples, (you can see my headshot gallery below). Compare my work to the work of other headshot photographers in Allegheny county and throughout the area. Then, think about what you’re going to use this headshot for. Is this a business or dating headshot for example. Remember, professional headshots should look professional.
Next, after you’ve found a photographer whose style you like, contact them and ask to have a conversation. If they’re too busy to talk with you, or they come across as dismissive, then move on. After all, there are loads of great headshot photographers in the Pittsburgh area. Finally, when you’ve found a photographer near New Homestead that you click with, ask them about their process.
Also, be sure to tell them what you like and don’t like. In addition, ask them about what you should wear, discuss your hair and your complexion, make sure they know what colors go best with your job, personality, and looks.
The Headshot Process
After all of that, when you’ve shown up to the appointment, make sure they don’t rush you through the process. Additionally, tell them honestly what you think of the photos. After all, there’s no reason for any headshot photographer not to show you the photos they’re taking of you. Of course, they won’t be the finished product but a good headshot photographer will be able to give you an idea of how they’ll edit them. That said, the important thing is letting them know if there is anything you don’t like. In fact, great headshot photographers want to know that so they can keep working with you until you’re happy.
