Headshot of the Week
February 2nd 2021Natural Light Headshot PEOPLE!
As the name implies, Headshot of the Week (HOTW) runs every week—but eligibility rotates to keep things interesting and fair for our members. There are three variations:
- Standard HOTW – Open to all Coaching Group members who haven’t yet won twice.
- Winners Circle – For members who’ve previously won a HOTW or HOTM contest.
- Associate Showdown – Exclusively for official Associate Photographers.
These rotate in the following order: Standard, Winners, Standard, Associates—so there are two Standard contests each month.
This week's contest: Standard HOTW
This contest is open to all Coaching Group members. It’s your chance to get feedback on your latest headshot work from Peter Hurley and the Crew during a Zoom Crew Cast. Every entry receives a live critique during the broadcast, finalists are selected, and the community votes to choose the winner.
You’re eligible to win the standard HOTW contest up to two times. If you’ve ever won a HOTW or Headshot of the Month (HOTM) contest, you’re also eligible to enter the Winners Circle, our contest for previous champions. There’s no limit to how many times you can win in the Winners Circle—so keep bringing the heat!
Congratulations to the winner!

the date says between feb 2nd and feb 2nd
They need to be shot w/in that 24 hour period of 2/1-2/2?
that's probably typo and its Feb 2 to 8th
I am guessing the last day is February 2nd, not the first.
Ugh. Supposed to be cold and rainy here for the next week!
May I recommend you open this to natural light images taken over the past few months as many photographers are in areas that the weather isn’t going to work well for outdoor photos this week.
You can shoot indoors with natural light. Hopefully it’s not too overcast
I actually ended up having a session scheduled tomorrow and he requested natural light - weather should clear by the afternoon so I should have something. But it's a shame that, since natural light is my niche, I would typically have many sessions in a week to choose from. But with this wet cold week, all my sessions moved to studio or rescheduled. Hopefully my client tomorrow works out for this!
I love both natural and studio light myself. I live in Montana so often times I have to shoot on the fly working around the crazy changing weather including snow 8 months of the year lol I just communicate with my clients ahead of time so they know to be flexible depending on the weather conditions and if its super cold sometimes that limits the amount of time I may be able to shoot. I hope you knock it out of the park!
Entered my favorite from the only natural light session I had this week - please do this again when the weather is nice!
Is there a zoom link to watch the live Crew Cast today?
Is this contest being judged on today’s Crew Cast?
