With The Headshot, students will be equipped to dramatically improve their headshot photographs--from lighting to composition to directing the best expression from their subjects. Peter Hurley is well known among headshot and portrait photographers as a passionate photographer and teacher. His business has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years, and he is a go-to resource as both a photographer and an educator. He teaches his own workshops, and is a regular instructor at conferences such as Photo Plus, WPPI, and Photoshop World.

  • Too much talking but too little of practical knowledge.

    You want to see some really nice headshots.? Well, they are here. He is a smooth talker and knows what he is doing. I did find some clever lines to use when I am shooting portraits. Great photography but this is not a guide to taking better portraits. It showcases the best if his work.

  • Love it

    He shared his experience genuinely in this book which was very nice to read. It gives a lot of inspiration but if your expectation is more about technical, what settings you should use or similar then you migh need another book too besides this one ;) There are a lot of great samples in it ;)
