The Distinguishing Elements of a Superior Headshot
NYC Headshot vs Other Headshot Photographers.
Can You Spot The Difference?
Our clients are often surprised by the level of detail required to obtain a powerful, engaging, and dynamic headshot.
NYC Headshot is set apart by our exceptional attention to detail and quality of our work. Take a look at this side-by-side example to see the difference for yourself.
On the left, we have a headshot taken by a non-studio based photographer. On the right, we have an example of the same individual’s markedly improved image photographed in our studio.
Before NYC Headshot
Lighting
Harsh lighting caused by improper diffusion and key lights that have been positioned incorrectly.
Background
Distracting background diminishes the impact of the subject.
Positioning
The subject’s chin is too high and turned in a manner that creates folds in the skin on the neck.
Expression
The subject’s blank look is lacking confidence and doesn’t project the power that is such a key component of a successful headshot.
Retouching
Non-existent or extremely poor retouching renders the final image unusable as a personal brand-promoting headshot.
After NYC Headshot
Lighting
The quality of the light is now softer and more even, rendering a more pleasing final result.
Background
Instantly creates a more powerful impact because the solid white background removes distracting elements and pulls the focus to the subject.
Positioning
Lowering his chin to a more natural, comfortable stance and turning his body slightly eliminated the creases in his neck and materially improved the conveyed strength.
Expression
His eyes now express confidence, and his smile is genuine and engaging. Getting the expression right is what makes or breaks an image!
Retouching
Proper retouching provides final cleanup of minor issues, while maintaining a natural “un-retouched” look.
