More Than Just A Picture.
If you are looking for "just a picture," then I'm afraid you may not have found the right place. I pride myself on providing my clients with not just professional headshots, but a truly professional experience.
From the moment you step into my studio, I want to know how you want to be represented so that I can ensure that every aspect of your time together is meaningfully curated. My attention to detail is a step above, from the flattering and complimentary lighting that enhances your features to the guidance I offer in terms of confident posture and authentic expression. My goal is to capture and showcase the very best version of you because I believe that a powerful headshot goes beyond a simple photograph. It is a representation of your professionalism, your personality, and your unique story.
So, if you are ready to stand out from the crowd and make a lasting impression, look no further than Seth James Photography.
Headshot Portfolio.
Every Collection Includes:
-
Encouragement.
You may not remember what your photo looks like, but you’ll always remember how you felt while you were taking it. Every session includes experienced direction and words of affirmation. I believe everyone deserves to look great and feel good about themselves in front of the camera.
-
Live.
No need to just hope for the best outcome when you can actually review your images in real time! Gone are the days when you squint at the back of a camera. Every studio headshot session offers a live TV screen review of images as they are taken so that you can have confidence that we’re creating images you’ll be proud to display.
-
Flexibility.
In-studio, on location, or at your office, I’m here to upgrade your professional presence wherever works best for your goals. With an array of professional tools and a mobile studio at my disposal, we can work together to create a great professional portrait just about anywhere.
-
Retouching.
Afraid you’ve aged too much? Extra stress showing up on your skin? A few hairs setting off on their own? Luckily working with me means you only have to think about 3 things: Posture, Pose, & Smile; I’ll handle the rest. From teeth to skin textures to hair and shirt fuzz, I’ve got you covered.
-
Digital.
From the project quote to the photo agreement to downloading your images, everything I provide is digital and ready to slide into the more convenient moments of your busy life. I’m all about making this whole process simple and convenient, and I’m always ready to assist if you ever have a question.
-
Optimized.
All final headshot images come to you in 3 dynamic crops and 2 optimized file sizes. You may choose the collection with one final image, but you’ll be receiving image variations sized for every purpose and use. All images are downloadable directly from your online gallery.
