My personal take on the Crew during this time
As I sit here with limited human interaction, other than my family (really just wife now - kids grown and out), I realize how thankful I am to have a group of people to interact with, albeit only online, that share common interests and goals. With photography being both a profession and hobby, it’s nice to know that I can reach out to someone to ask a...

Who's in the Crew? - Spotlight on Eric Campbell
I'm all about the community in the Crew. Sure, we can learn how to take top-notch headshots and that's why we are here, but the staying power is in our community. I know of no other environment for photographers so full of support, encouragement, and friendship than this place that Peter built. It's more than an online site of learning and you've experienced...
2020 Headshot Crew Fitness Challenge!
Well, 2020 is here and I know many of you make resolutions to better yourselves in every way, shape, and form. For me, the New Year is usually a good time to revisit my current goals and make fitness goals as well. Whether you want to lose weight, gain weight or just get yourself healthier than no better time than now to do it. We've done this challenge HSC...
It's all about the client
Unless you are portfolio building and doing TFP work, keep your client at the forefront. This is Rosalyn. Yesterday was her third time back to my studio. This third time was a charm because I finally get it! Ros is over the top in her style. Instead of reaching for makeup wipes and wanting a clean slate, I let Ros be Ros. (just to clarify I've never had her...
Thanks to the Crew!
Just wanted to give a huge shout out to the Crew! Had my first job booked through the Headshot Crew website from a client in New York! This Ipswich Gal is pretty chuffed and I'm grateful to be a part of this group. Thanks guys!
Big Thanks to this Crew!!!
With Thanksgiving behind us, I have been ruminating this morning about how thankful I am for this crew and how much just having you guys show up here means to me. We are all here to crank each other up collectively and I certainly couldn't do it without each and every one of you. To have a community of like-minded individuals that empower and feed off of...
PPE fomo
If you haven’t already, you’re going to start seeing posts and IG stories featuring shenanigans from PPE. You’re going to be missing out on parties and dinners and other assorted adventures. You might even feel left out. This is nothing compared to how you’re going to feel if you’re left out of Headshot Mania 2. The good news is that there’s still time. It’s...

The Headshot Crew Podcast is ONLINE!!
Hey everyone! So this has been in the making since the beginning of 2018 and it's finally here: The Official Headshot Crew Podcast! Podcasts are a big part of my daily routine.

We've got a new HSC Associate in Berlin PEOPLE!
Read Em and Weep!
The only thing that I wish was that I had a date on this sucker. I love that I had handwritten it on a goal card because it gave me the flashback to the kid who wrote it all these years later. Seems like a lifetime ago, but makes me want to pat myself on the back. I'm not sure that I was ever really consciously aware that Headshot Crew would become the...
Expression in your headshots
EXPRESSIONS IN YOUR HEADSHOTS Have you ever thought about what your face looks like when you walk outside your house in the morning? I’m not talking about checking yourself out in the mirror before you go out. I’m talking about your facial expressions – how your face communicates what you’re thinking and feeling. Can you believe that your face has been on...

He's launched a new book "A Beginner’s Guide to the Universe: Uncommon Ideas for Living an Unusually Happy Life" and he's going LIVE to discuss the concepts...

Best Open Mic Crew cast ever.... ? Executive review Thurs 26 Jan 4pm EST
