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.
