Business Headshot FAQs
Why Orlando Headshots?
I have more than 25 years experience photographing people. Before narrowing my focus (pun intended) to Headshots, I worked for many years as a Cruise Ship Photographer, and have also been involved in Management of various Photography businesses, working in the Tourism & Sports industries. This has given me a unique insight into the needs of Business Professionals – I know that time is money, and I won’t waste either of yours.
How do I make an appointment?

There are a couple of ways – you can email me or call – check my contact page for the details. You can even book your appointment online – my calendar updates in real-time, so you can easily find the best time for you! It’s always best to set up your shoot as much advance notice as possible.

Where are you located?
I’m right downtown, on Pine Street, near Orange Ave, There’s a great parking garage across the street, and I validate! I can also come to your office if it’s more convenient.
What are your hours?
You are busy, and I understand that having a Headshot done may be an interruption to your productivity, so in addition to the tradional M-F, 9-5 options, I offer off-hours appointments as well – before and after ‘normal’ business hours
Do you shoot indoors or outdoors?
The vast majority of my Business Headshots are done in-studio (mine or at your location), but natural light is also an option in many cases.
How much time does the shoot take?

Your time is valuable, so we’ll work quickly, without sacrificing quality, and make sure we get what you want. Once we start shooting, it’s usually 15 minutes or less, and if there are lots of staff to work with, it can be as quick as 2 minutes (or less) per person. At an international company conference, I recently shot 200 sales reps in about 2 hours.

How many photos do we take?
There’s no set amount – usually with Business Headshots anywhere from 6-50 may be the right amount. We’ll take plenty of photos for you to choose from. Your time is valuable, so we’ll work quickly, without sacrificing quality, and make sure we get what you want.
What should I wear?
Remember when selecting your wardrobe, that your apparel should project professionalism. Think about what you do, who you want to be in the photos, and what impression you want to create. Formal or more relaxed, it’s not going to hurt having wardrobe options, so bring any clothes that you might want to wear. It’s better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it!
Do I need Makeup?
Generally, no.

Having said that, if you want to have your hair & makeup done, be my guest. It’s also a good idea to bring your own brush or comb.

How long does it take to get my Photos?

Once we’ve agreed that you have plenty of good images to choose from, it’s up to you to make the final choice. If you’re decisive, you can pick your image right after shooting – and the retouched file is emailed immediately! If you need some time to make your choices, I can create an online gallery for you.  Once you’ve decided on an image, I generally ask for a few days to deliver the final images.

How do I pay you?
With Business Headshots, I accept payment on the day of the shoot, or I can invoice the company. If invoiced, I can accept checks by mail, or credit card payments online. With the latter, there may be a niminal processing fee.
How many photos are retouched?

Typically, you get one per person photographed, but you can always add more. Formal, casual, studio, or natural light – there are lots of options and you may need different looks.

Entertainers Headshot FAQs
How do I make an appointment?

There are a couple of ways – you can email me or call – check my contact page for the details. You can even book your appointment online – my calendar updates in real-time, so you can easily find the best time for you! It’s always best to set up your shoot as much advance notice as possible.

Where are you located?
I’m right downtown, on Pine Street, near Orange Ave, There’s a great parking garage across the street, and I validate!
What are your hours?
I work by appointment, so don’t expect to just drop in wink. Since a lot of Entertainer’s Headshots are done with natural light, we’re limited to daylight hours, and early or later work the best, when the sun is a bit lower. Having said that, I have a studio, so we can always shoot indoors as well. I am available many weekends, but only in the morning. I like spending time with my family…
How much time does the shoot take?

Generally, you should expect to spend around 1.5 – 2 hours with your shoot. Consultation, Shooting, Image Review, and more.

Do you shoot indoors or outdoors?
We can shoot either way. The vast majority of my Entertainer’s Headshots are done with natural light, outside within a block or two of the studio.
What should I wear?
Think about what looks good (colors & necklines) on you, and what is comfortable. The headshots we take should be a true representation of who you are, or who you want to be.

  • Don’t be too dressy or too casual, Casting Pros should be able to imagine you in a number of roles – If you wear a suit, it may be hard to imagine you as a surfer.
  • Bring age-appropriate clothes.
  • Solid colors usually work best since they won’t distract. Remember, the photo is about you, and not your clothes. Personally, I think everybody looks great in a black t-shirt, but kids may be best served in brighter colors.

At the end of the day, If you think you might want it, bring it – I believe that it’s better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

Do I need Makeup?

I don’t provide those services, so if you think you need it, plan ahead. However – hopefully, you’ve chosen me for your Headshots because you like my style, which I consider to be pretty natural, meaning nominal makeup, and non-shellacked hair. I’ll be able to retouch your blemishes and other things that makeup traditionally cures, so no need to go overboard. You should look like you. Having said that, if you want to have your hair & makeup done, be my guest – but please just keep it simple and natural looking. It’s also a good idea to bring your own brush or comb.

How long does it take to get my Photos?

In most cases, all your ‘proof’ resolution shots are available to you just a few hours after we shoot! Any High-Res retouched files are delivered within about  week of your selection.

How many photos do we take?

We’re only limited by time, so there’s no set amount. It could be 150 shots or it could be 450 or more!

How do I pay you?
Payment is due on the day of the shoot, and all major kinds are accepted – cash, checks, and credit cards. Sorry, I’m not up to speed on bitcoin yet!
How many photos are retouched?

The ‘proof’ images you receive are color corrected, but not retouched. After you’ve looked at them, just the ones you choose for Professional use are  High-Res, retouched Headshots are $65 each. Remember though, you keep all the images we shoot in ‘proof’ resolution. There’s no obligation to buy the high-res retouched versions- you can get as many or few as you like!
