Learn how to direct any human being that steps foot in front of your lens

For years Peter Hurley has been perfecting his signature workshop The Headshot Intensive. Rooted in the teachings of his book The Headshot, he delves into his unique approach to headshot photography during this 2-day workshop.

In this master class, Peter reveals everything about his workflow, direction, shooting style, and business approach. The course is geared toward headshot photography, but all the information applies whether your subject is 3 feet in front of your camera or 30 feet away.

Peter also believes that everyone has their own learning curve when it comes to portrait photography and considers himself a student of the game, so whether you are a seasoned pro or a curious beginner this class is readymade for you.

What Are People Saying?
Here's what some Intensive graduates have to say about the workshop.

The Headshot Intensive was Fantastic!!! I learned so much and learned how much I did not know. It was well worth the time and money spent. Peter Hurley is awesome! He truly cares about each and every person that participates in the Intensive and the Headshot Crew. He wants everyone to be successful!

I've been to a few Intensives and I learn more each time I go. Not only do I grow as a photographer — I get to work with Peter and see how he thinks. I will continue to learn from Peter and the crew as there is no other place like it.

[The Headshot Intensive] is definitely a great experience — I will do it again and again and again.

Having been part of the Peter Hurley Headshot Crew for over three years, I can't express enough how amazing the experience has been. The support from the community is outstanding, and becoming an associate feels like a significant achievement. Grateful for the incredible journey and the valuable connections made through the Headshot Crew!

Attending Peter Hurley's Headshot Intensive in Dallas was a game-changer for my photography. The techniques I learned have already improved the quality and consistency of my headshots, allowing me to deliver a better experience for my clients. If you're serious about headshot photography, this workshop is a must!

The Headshot Intensive helped me make connections between many of the concepts taught on the website. Being in the studio, in person, standing alongside Peter himself as he guided us through the light patterns and how to coach our subjects was the experience I needed to put all the pieces together and take the next giant step forward.
