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.
We are going to change from Evoto to Canon this month. Due to a discrepancy in prizes and an Evoto challenge we’ll be doing in November we are now getting real for the next few days with Canon. If you’ve already entered you are all set, but prizes will now be Canon Printers.
The only caveat is that these suckers are large and in charge and since it’s Canon USA they only ship domestically. Tariffs etc make it impossible to get them out of the US. So if you win from abroad you can give it to a friend or figure out the cost of shipping to you from a US address. Or Canadians just wait until next summer when I drive up to Canada if you happen to win up there. Sorry I just can’t ship these suckers globally!
