You need a Great Headshot. Executives, Salespeople, Managers, Entrepreneurs, Physicians, Lawyers, Realtors, Job Seekers, Authors, Actors, Dancers – everyone  needs a Killer Headshot. Whatever your field, your Headshot should show the world that you’re Professional and you care about what you do.

A current, Professional Headshot – that you love – is vital to your online presence.

That’s where I come in. I’m going to help the rest of the world see the real you – smart, self-assured, and accessible. I make the process simple, convenient, and efficient. You’ll get a Headshot you love (or a few!), and might even have a little fun in the process!

Great Headshots help open doors.

And bad ones can shut them… Let’s be honest – nobody’s going to get hired just  because they have a gret Headshot, but it will show you to be a serious contender. Having a bad photo (or none at all) might  shut you down before you get a serious look.

Having a bad Headshot is like wearing flip flops and a tank top to a wedding – you’re not inviting that guy!

As you might suspect from the name, I shoot Headshots.

I don’t do Weddings, or Still Life, or Architecture, or Wildlife Photography. Just Headshots. Although I’ve been focusing (yes, I went there) on Headshots for more than a decade, I’ve been fortunate to earn my living in Photography for longer than I like to admit. As a former Cruise Ship Photographer, I’ve taken (literally!) more than 2.5 million photos. I know how to be efficient with your  time.

But, but, but...

“I don’t like having my picture taken”

I hear this all the time. A lot of people think getting their photo taken is only 2 steps better than going to the Dentist (sorry, Dentists!). I promise that working with me for your Headshot is not only painless, but maybe even a little fun! You’ll be comfortable and involved in the process – we’ll work together to find your best look. Don’t take my word for it, though… from a recent client: “BTW…Maddie cried when we left your shoot because she was so happy with the pictures.  THANKS!!!!”. Read my Google reviews here

“I don’t have time”

You’re busy, I get it. I’m pretty quick without sacrificing quality. If you come prepared, there’s no reason that having your Headshot taken should take a long time. Plus, my studio is conveniently located in downtown Orlando, but if that’s not close enough, or you just can’t break away, I can come to your location to minimize the disruption to your day.

“Is it worth it?”

Like most everything else in life, with Photographers, you get what you pay for. That doesn’t always mean the most expesive option is the best, or the cheapest (or free-est ) is the worst. I’ve been trusted with thousands of clients’ Headshots for more than 20 years, so my experience should  negate any doubt & anxiety. When you use Orlando Headshots, you know you’re going to get Headshots you’re confident putting out into the world.

Your Business Headshot is usually the first impression a potential client may have of you. Whether it’s in LinkedIn profile, your Company’s staff page, or even your email signature,  it’s out there. ​You can’t afford to have bad or outdated headshots – you need Professional Business Headshots that promote confidence and credibility. This is an essential investment in your brand.

I promise that creating your new Headshot will be pain-free, and your smiles will be real. Don’t be that person with a department store headshot – or worse, a selfie! You deserve better. Set your personal or corporate branding apart with a Professional Business Headshot!

There are no confusing packages. Get what YOU want! Simple.

If you just need a Headshot with no whistles and bells, no problem. If you think you’ll want more looks for your branding, no problem. We’ll shoot in one outfit, or in whatever outfits you bring, with different backgrounds, or different lighting. Serious or Smiling; Formal or Casual; Tight crops or 3/4 crops – you get it… Then you’ll select  the ones you like. Get just one, or a few different looks! You only pay for what you want.

The finished Headshots include basic retouching, and are delivered in both high & low resolution.  I can usually even match your Company’s existing Headshots for continuity!

Who am I?

I’m Scot Lerner, and I bring more than 30 years of photographing people, both locally and internationally.   I’m originally from Canada, but have called Florida my home for a long time. I started my Photography career working on Cruise Ships where I learned to be efficient (have you ever been photographed on a cruise?). I’ve been in the Photo Industry for a while now, but I’ve specialized in Headshots in Orlando, Central Florida, and beyond(!) for more than 20 years.

WHY SHOULD I BE THE CHOICE FOR YOUR HEADSHOTS?

There are many photographers in Central Florida, and it seems like there are more and more every day. Some are good at what they do, and a lot are just enthusiastic hobbyists with smart cameras. Shooting Headshots is a unique niche that is different from other types of Portrait photography, and one that needs a Photographer experienced in photographing Headshots. It’s about really seeing  you – not just having a nice camera.

So how do you know who is right to shoot your photos?

First, look at the samples (BTW, you can always see my  newest Headshots on my Instagram). If you don’t like the work, you should stop right there and move on. What’s the style? For my Business Headshots, we need to decide how you want to be perceived , both within your industry and to potential clients. For my Entertainers Headshots, I want a natural & comfortable feel. I don’t chase that perfect, beauty-pageant, every-hair-in-place appearance. You have to look like you.

Next, I listen.   Your Headshot session is a collaboration between you and I. It’s my job to check all the photographic boxes – lighting, focus, composition – and to try to put you in a position to be comfortable and let the natural you come out.  Only you can say if the finished product truly represents who you are. It needs to show your  Personality, your  Experience, & your  Goals. You need to feel confident that the Headshot you present is a true portrayal of who you are – after all, it’s the first impression you’ll make in most situations. We shoot until we have shots you love – not until I get to a prescribed number of shots.

Last, I’ll caution you to not choose your Photographer just based on price. Aside from your own talent, your Headshot may be the most important investment you’ll make in your career. At the end of the day, I believe you get what you pay for. Take a look at my prices – I’m not cheap, but I’m not over-priced either. I’ve had Entertainer clients come from New York City because they can get a quality Headshot for a reasonable price compared to NYC prices. Reasonable is a good  word.

I work with new clients all the time, but I take particular pride when my clients come back to work with me when they need new Headshots because their appearance has changed, or when I receive referrals from people I’ve already worked with. Just check out my reviews.

I could tell you about the equipment I use, but really, it’s about your Headshots – not my tools. Does the newest, coolest hammer make the carpenter better?

Of course, the main reason you should consider working with me is the quality of my work.

Schedule your appointment when it’s convenient for YOU. Just choose your type of Headshot and my Calendar will show you available options. Simply choose the day & time that works best for you. If you don’t see what you need, don’t be afraid to call!

Once you make your appointment, you’ll receive email and text confirmations with directions to the studio, parking instructions and more useful information. I want to alleviate any stress – preparation makes for a better Headshot experience.

Once you arrive for your Headshot, we’ll talk about what you need – not all Headshots are the same! If you bring wardrobe options (and you should!), we’ll figure out what will work best. Then, once you’re in front of the camera, it’s my job to guide and coach you, to make you comfortable and relaxed, so we get just the right expression – the authentic YOU. Whether that’s a smile or a more thoughtful look, or somewhere in between I’m not  going to just point the camera and tell you to say ‘cheese’. We’re in this together.

As we take your Headshots, we’ll see them immediately. If a hair is out of place, or a collar is popped, we can fix it. Once we’re done shooting, whether its 20 images or 200, we’ll go through the shots and pick your one or more favorites. I’ve taken a lot of Headshots, so I’m not shy about giving my two cents, but this photo is for you, not me – it’s always YOUR call.

Headshots you select include expert retouching. We’ll clean up your skin, reduce facial lines, brighten your teeth, and maybe even tighten your jawline! You’re going to look like you, just on a good day – you know what I mean! Do you need your Headshot in a hurry? No problem. In most cases, you can pick it out and we can retouch it so it’s ready for you before you leave the studio! If you want more time, I can make an online gallery for you and you can pick your shots at home. Either way, final Headshots are delivered via email or FTP, and you’ll receive both high and lower resolution versions Whether you need a Headshot for your next billboard or just online profiles, I have you covered.
