Headshots are a marketing tool for professional from all industries.

What separates a headshot is the intimacy of the subject with the camera/photographer.  While a portrait may be full length, 3/4 length or chest high, a headshot is about the face.  Lighting is the key. The above was shot with Paul C Buff Einstein and Beauty Dish.  The light wraps around the face creating subtle shadows.  For the subject of a headshot – the facial expression is critical.  Talk with your photographer before the session to capture the expression you are looking to convey to your viewers.
