Take Your Own Headshots!

Watch this video to learn how to take a headshot yourself!


Three Options:

Free Headshot
Follow the tutorial below for a great shot, but know that it won't look as good as a retouched shot will because it will lack a professional background.
Basic Level - $25
Follow the steps below and choose to have either the background changed or facial retouching done, so it looks like it was taken by a high-end camera.
Professional Level - $40
Follow the steps below and choose to have full retouching done to your headshot so there are no facial blemishes, a professional backdrop, and no other distracting elements.


How it Works:

  1. Get your hands on any camera above 2MP (most smartphone cameras will do). Note that the better quality the camera is, the better the finished shot will look.
  2. Watch the tutorial video above to learn how to actually take the headshot, making sure to follow the tips on getting good lighting, exposure, and proper focus, etc.
  3. Get a friend and ask them to take a few photos of you smiling and/or serious.
  4. Come back to this page and fill out the contact form at the bottom to upload your image, selecting which retouching option you want.
  5. You'll be taken to the link to place the payment, along with all of my contact information in case you have any questions.
  6. As soon as you complete the payment, you'll receive the finalized image in your email within 2-3 business days, and you're all set!
  7. If anything is missing or you need anything changed, you get one free retouching pass included, where you can make any other specific requests (provided they are within reason). Additional retouching passes cost a small extra fee, so be sure to clearly mention in the requests section below anything you'll need retouched besides the usual (pimples/acne removal, fixing some flyaway hairs, teeth whitening, and lightening under the eyes).
  8. Order prints through this link. We can have them ready within one business day and then mailed out to anywhere in the world. There is no setup fee if you choose to have an image retouched.
