The Headshot Intensive is coming to St Louis PEOPLE!
A 2-day photography workshop based on Peter's unique process of producing the highest quality headshot for all his clientele. If you want to dive even deeper into what Peter calls Headshotland, then add a 3rd Intensified day to your workshop and get some one on one time with him.
This course is designed for every level photographer from amateur to pro alike. This isn't a technique course in camera settings, but a mind-blowing course in handling any human that steps in front of your lens. Yes, the workshop is geared toward headshot photography, but all of this valuable information applies whether your subject is 3 feet in front of your camera or 30 feet in front of it.
In this workshop, you’ll learn the in’s and out’s of Peter's workflow, direction, shooting style and business sense. It's a soup to nuts approach on how to crank out one good portrait after another.
In a nutshell, THE HEADSHOT INTENSIVE is designed for the photographer looking to gain beneficial knowledge from the leader in the headshot genre in order to develop a new skill set when photographing people. So whether photography is your full-time gig or you are a passionate hobbyist who can’t seem to put your camera down, this workshop is for you.
The Headshot Intensive is also the breeding ground for Peter's team of talented Headshot Crew Associate Photographers. We've been able to create an elite crew of headshot photographers that span the globe through Peter's stringent vetting process. All photographers are members of the Headshot Crew Protégé Coaching Program. Interested? Sign up for your free account now.

The Shoot: You’ll apply the ideas laid out to you by applying these ideas on the second day of the workshop.
Headshot Crew: Peter will discuss his global plan and your shot to capture your target market by becoming a Headshot Crew Associate Photographer. The goal is to have each photographer that is interested in building their headshot business become part of the Headshot Crew referral program, using it as a marketing tool to build their headshot clientele through referrals from their own Headshot Crew lead generation tool.
What You'll Need:
A DSLR, mirrorless or medium format digital camera and basic knowledge of how to use it. You’ll want a decent headshot lens, so Peter recommends something in the range of 85-105mm for full frame DSLR’s and 100mm and above for medium format cameras. Peter likes using his 70-200mm lens on his full frame DSLR, so feel free to bring a zoom that fits into that range if you like.
Bring a laptop and/or external hard drive with you to the workshop in case you want to shoot tethered, take notes or transfer files, etc.
Peter loves shooting on a tripod, so if you have one that can reach above 6' with a ball head and center column bring it with you. If you don't then don't sweat it, but he will be giving you umpteen reasons why you should be using one. You can check out his gear page for the recommended Feisol/Arca Swiss combo: www.headshotcrew.com/gear

Get your own Headshot by Peter Hurley! Each photographer will get in front of Peter's camera at some point during the workshop and he'll personally shoot a SHABANG'in headshot of you. He can't stand photographers who don't put a nice shot of themselves on their bio page, so he's making sure each of you has a new one to use upon completion of the workshop! You'll get a unique perspective from being in front of Peter's camera as well. This allows you to understand exactly what your clients are going through and it's proven to be a powerful experience. It is one of Peter's favorite portions of the course and a real eye-opener for past attendees, plus right now it costs $1000 for a new client to step in front of Peter's lens for a 1/2 hr, so there is definitely some major value in it for you there!
All Headshot Intensive attendees will be dubbed a Bachelor in the Fine Art of Shabanging(BFAS) in the Headshot Crew Coaching Program upon graduating! The BFAS label and any free months you are to receive as an attendee will be added after you've completed the workshop.
