Headshot of the Month is a free, public contest open to anyone who wants to showcase their best headshot to our community. Entries are critiqued live by Peter Hurley and Headshot Crew mentors during a public Crew Cast, offering valuable real-time feedback.
Peter looks for images that demonstrate the strong fundamentals taught in the coaching program—natural expression, clean lighting, and a genuine connection with the subject. After the review, he selects a grand prize winner, and a second prize is awarded to one random participant.
With prizes from monthly sponsors, HOTM is a fantastic way to challenge yourself, get expert insight, and experience the Headshot Crew coaching program in action.
If you’re not yet a member of the Coaching Group, we offer a free introductory course where you can get a feel for what Peter is looking for and the standards we uphold at Headshot Crew.
Congratulations to the winner!

Thank you Greg!
Wait. I won??? Oh crap, wrong Jose. Lol.
Hey man, great work. I just joined the headshot crew and your work (along with so many others) is something to aspire to!
You should see my work before I joined. It was no where near good.
My advice, try to get as much feedback as possible. The 24/7 is fundamental, entering different headshots for hotw and htom, it is nice winning a contest, but it’s better to build your portfolio. when you feel ready, intensive and intensified, it’s an investment but holy smokes, that was one of the keys for my work to get good. Getting feedback from Peter and the associates/mentors that may be around is another important thing.
Gracias, Señor!! Really looking forward to getting started on this journey.
Jose...this image is Amazing! Congratulations!
