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!
WOW!!! We had a near tie people!! Kirstin won by a vote and I went with that decision. Scott's shots rocked so much that Kiristin decided to let him have the FJ200 and trigger since she had actually purchased them herself last month. That's a major crew SHABANG!!! Thanks Kirstin you are amazing.

Well deserved all around!
So beautiful Kirstin!! Congrats on Headshot of the month!
Congratulations very much deserved
Gorgeous image Kirstin!
Stunning!
One vote!!! That’s SO crazy close. Thanks everyone for support + just general help along the way (+ votes!) What I love about Headshot Crew is the teamwork here and how much everyone helps each other to be better photographers (and get the shot.) It’s truly amazing and I’ve always been impressed by how accessible it is. (Thanks Peter!) Beyond excited for PHD badge, smoking gun badge, for an official #shabang + to see Scott’s photos with the FJ200s which I’m TOTALY obsessed with. Off to get working on a self portrait! Maybe that should be the randomizer shot this month? Thanks again!
Congrats Kirstin! So many great entries. Is there a recording of crew cast for this contest voting?
A stunning and beautiful image, love it.
