Digital Headshot Photography

Digital headshot sessions allow you to view the headshots immediately ensuring you are getting the headshots you want. I have digital headshot sessions with various time lengths allowing you to choose a session that suits your needs and budget. Clients have been very happy with their results from a 45 minute digital headshot session. Keeping the digital headshot session relatively short produces the best results. However, if you need many looks, are not comfortable or have little or no experience in front of the camera you should choose a 1 hour or longer digital headshot session. My digital headshot sessions are very casual and I am very good at making you laugh and feel at ease in front of the camera. I do headshot sessions for corporate, actors, musicians, dancers, comedians, and online dating.

Individual Corporate Headshots

Clients have been very happy with their results from a 45 minute digital corporate headshot session. Keeping the digital corporate headshot session relatively short produces the best results. However, if you are not comfortable or have little or no experience in front of the camera you should plan for a 1 hour digital corporate headshot session. My digital corporate headshot sessions are casual and I am very good at making you feel at ease in front of the camera.

Group Corporate Headshots

If you need digital corporate headshots for many employees use 15 minutes per person as a guide when picking the proper session length. If you have employees that aren't photogenic or don't like to have their picture taken you should estimate 30-1hr for them. If I come to your business please add 30 minutes to the session length for scouting a location and setup time. The digital corporate headshot session may take more or less time then estimated depending on how photogenic the employees are and any hair and wardrobe issues.

All Corporate Headshot Sessions Include:
  • Unlimited digital headshots within the alotted session time.
  • I will upload a zip file of the retouched hi–res digital headshot(s) to my server for you to download to your computer.
  • If requested, I will burn a CD/DVD with your hi–res retouched digital headshot(s).

Click here to see Roger Kriegel on the CBS Early Show's "How to Date in 2008" series. Click on the video tab, then choose "online dating 411" and "improving your online profile". Within 48hrs Marybeth's new headshots on Match.com got 100 hits, in two and a half weeks, 500 hits. Janettes new headshots on Match.com got 26 views and 3 emails in 12hrs. The previous year Janette got 20 views and two emails. On okCupid, Janette got 34 views and 2 emails and normally she gets 3 views a day and one email every two or three weeks.

Another client reported to me that in the past two months "the response has been overwhelming thanks to your great photography. I have received 2000 views since I put my new headshots online." And yet another client met her current husband once she uploaded her new headshots.

True Love Is Just A Photo Away
“I first winked at John (which was against my original "rules;" I originally started by just letting men contact me.) He wrote back almost immediately. We talked on the phone a few times, then had dinner a week later. From that first date, I knew I had met my future husband. We connected immediately and I knew we were totally compatible. Seven months later, he proposed and we are now having fun bringing our two families together and starting to plan the wedding (we each have 2 kids). Meeting him was wonderful, a total dream and much better than I ever could have imagined. As far as my overall online dating experience: Without a shred of doubt I attribute my success to my photos that I had taken with Roger. The number of winks and contacts I got went through the roof after I posted the professional photos. Seriously, I could have had a date almost every night of the week. I went from getting just a few winks/emails a week to getting several a day. It was great for me because it helped me relax about the whole thing ÑI didn't feel worried about not meeting someone anymoreÑand it made the whole process really fun. Plus, Roger was great; he was really patient with me and helped me get some really great pictures. I also had my makeup professionally done by Talya Siegel, which was well worth the extra money. My fiance actually keeps the photos on his desktop because he loves them also. Now, whenever anyone asks me about online dating, I always tell them, Don't even start until you get some professional pictures taken by Roger. I tell everyone who is interested: Oneline dating is a great way to meet someone, but the pictures are critical!” Online dating experts will tell you that having a great photo on your profile is the key to attracting the quality singles you want to meet.

Digital Headshot Pointers
If you have very little experience in front of the camera, I highly recommend you choose a digital headshot session that will give you the time you need to get comfortable in front of the camera.

  • Keep yourself hydrated; dehydration will affect the look of your skin.
  • Please get a good night sleep the night before the digital headshot session. If you feel tired, it will show in the pictures.
  • Avoid using alcohol and tobacco products the night before and day of the shoot.
  • Hair should be cut, colored, and styled to your liking. Please bring your own gel, comb, or hairbrush. The condition of your hair will greatly affect the final look of your digital headshot session. If your hair is not cooperating, you are better off rescheduling (24hrs required).
  • If you need a makeup artist I can arrange for one, but you are welcome to bring your own makeup artist. Makeup time will vary depending on the style of makeup used. Natural makeup will take 1 hour for ladies; 30 minutes for gentlemen. Please arrive with a clean face, no make-up. Your hair should be cut and styled to your liking. Unless you really know how to apply makeup, I strongly suggest that you use a makeup artist. Be aware that you should look like your headshot when you go for an audition, so if you use a makeup artist, be sure you can make yourself look like your headshot or have the makeup artist do your makeup again before your audition. Makeup should look natural.
  • If you do not like your make-up you are responsible for speaking up before the photo session begins, otherwise it will be assumed you are fine with the make-up and no refund will be given by the make-up artist.
  • If you choose not to use a make-up artist, do not expect your skin tone to look as good as someone who uses a makeup artist. You will have more shiny areas due to oily and sweaty skin. Your skin may also have varying degrees of color blotches and acne. Digital retouching can improve the look of your skin but if over done will make the skin look fake. It is always better to use a makeup artist to even out your skin tone.
  • If you decide to do your own makeup, please make sure you bring powder to reduce glare from oily skin.
  • It is best to not bring friends during the digital headshot session, as they can be a distraction. I leave this to your discretion.
  • Bring your favorite music to listen to during the digital headshot session to help relax you if needed.
  • Bring 2–4 changes of clothes. Bring solid dark colors (navy blue, turquoise, purple, green, red, black) which will create contrast with your skin and better frame your face. Black shirts can sometimes be too contrasty for your skin tone and blend with your dark hair. I recommend navy blue, blue, green, purples, dark reds. Pastel colors are usually too light and do not create a contrast to frame your face. Darker skinned individuals can wear lighter colors (pastel) but please avoid white.
  • For body shots wear a nice form fitting shirt/sweater or outfit. Baggy dress shirts or loose blouses tend to wrinkle too much and create unpleasant shapes.
  • Wear something you will be comfortable in. If you don't like the outfit you are wearing it will show in your pictures.
  • Please do not wear clothes that will take the focus from your face (no wild patterns).
  • Bring a variety of necklines; I find narrow V–necks to be the best choice. Please avoid wide V–necks as they reveal too much skin and will take the focus off your face.
  • If you have a long neck then a rounded collar usually works best.
  • If you have blue eyes, bring some blue shirts. If you have green eyes, bring some green shirts.
  • When in doubt, bring it with you. Its better to bring as many outfits as you can comfortably carry in case what you choose does not work.
  • If you do not like your arms make sure you wear a long sleeve shirt.
  • Avoid wearing jewelry.
  • If possible, bring your current headshot and samples of headshots that you like.
  • Your headshots should capture the personality you want to present to potential clients.
  • If you have an agent, I highly suggest you have your agent view my work to make sure your agent approves of my style of headshots.
