Are You Sure You Want A Cheap Headshot?
Cheap headshots may seem like a good idea but can cost you
One of the most common search queries I see in my analytics is “cheap headshots” or “inexpensive headshots.” While price is an important consideration for many, skimping on your headshot can be a costly mistake. Whether you’re a small business owner, work at a large company, or are hoping to land a new job, having a quality headshot is crucial. As with most things in life, you get what you pay for, and headshots are no exception.
The True Value of a Quality Headshot
Investing in a quality professional headshot is an investment in your personal brand and professional image. Here’s why it’s worth spending a little more:
• Longevity: A great headshot will serve you well for 3-4 years. When you break down the cost over this period, you’re paying just a few extra pennies per day compared to a cheap headshot. The impact on your brand or the impression you make on a potential employer is worth much more.
• First Impressions: Your headshot is often the first impression others have of you. A high-quality, professionally taken photo can convey confidence, professionalism, and approachability, setting you apart from the competition.
WHY MY HEADSHOTS ARE A BETTER VALUE!
I understand that budget constraints are a reality, but before choosing a cheaper photographer, consider the following reasons why my headshots offer superior value:
• Customized Style: I work with you to choose a style and look that best suits you or your company’s brand. Unlike many photographers who use a pre-set lighting setup for all clients, I tailor each session to your unique needs. My portfolio showcases a wide variety of styles, ensuring your images will stand out.
• Creativity: You deserve a headshot that is modern and creative, not a typical photo where you’re inauthentically grinning into the camera in an awkward pose. My portfolio demonstrates a range of creative, contemporary headshots that reflect individuality and style.
• On-Location Convenience: For larger groups, I offer the convenience of coming to your location to do the shoot. This flexibility saves you time and hassle, making the process smoother and more efficient.
• Quality Retouching: My images speak for themselves in terms of quality when compared to a cheap headshot photographer (or any other IMHO). I invest time and effort in both the shoot and the post-processing. Unlike many photographers who outsource retouching to cheap retouching farms, I handle the retouching myself, ensuring each image looks amazing. Retouching is an art form, and I take pride in perfecting every detail.
Real Client Experiences
Many of my clients have shared their experiences, noting how their new headshots have positively impacted their careers and businesses.
