Tech Headshots, Work Portraits San Francisco Bay Area
My approach for professional headshots is to highlight strengths and capture individuality of people in flattering, unique customized environments during the photo session.
Location scouting and creative direction is my specialty and I assist with outfits, poses, wardrobe selection and color coordination for the photoshoot. I shoot outdoors, public spaces, client sites with natural light for approachable yet professional pictures. I seek a balance of professionalism, approachability and trust in my photos.

How Much Is A Professional Headshot?
Often times, the first interaction people have with others is seeing their LinkedIn photo, website or social media account. First impressions are everything.
Headshots can range anywhere from a few hundred dollars to five hundred dollars or more depending on editing, locations, travel, turnaround time and more.
Are Professional Headshots Worth It?
Headshots help to signal your reputation, trustworthiness and professionalism. Relying on a selfie, cropped wedding photo or photo from a night out with friends may suggest you don’t take your work or career seriously.
Do You Need A Professional Headshot For Linkedin?
Users with profile photos receive up to 21 times profile views than those without photos. Whether looking for jobs, identifying clients, networking or building a sales pipeline, this is a huge advantage you cannot ignore.

Outdoor Headshots San Francisco Bay Area; Studio vs Outdoor Headshots
Most photographers don’t want to deal with wind or elements but I have seen it all. I love shooting outdoors and that is my specialty. Studio headshots can be rather stiff and boring and look like everyone else’s. If you are looking to stand out, let’s talk.

Best Headshot Photographer San Francisco Bay Area
The best headshot photographer will be subjective based on your needs. If you are looking for studio headshots, overly polished photos that look like AI or headshots that are overly photoshopped, I am NOT for you. However, if you are looking for a mix of approachability, authenticity and organic aesthetics, I am your guy.
Many photographers are one dimensional and focus too much on technical aspects i.e. latest equipment, lighting accessories, editing etc. I focus more on hair, wardrobe, body-type, positioning, industry, what you want to convey and how to get you to relax, smile and probably laugh along the way.
Free Headshots San Francisco
Every so often (once a quarter, couple times a year or so, there are industry events where you can get a free headshot (usually hosted by a company or service). I will occasionally post those on my event newsletter here: https://eddies-list.com
That said, be cautious of these free services. The backgrounds are usually generic, rate of turnover for participants is high meaning they usually just burst through individuals and there is little to no options to re-shoot, see previews of headshots, offer feedback on wardrobe, hair etc or even offer customization on positioning, posture or facial expressions and smiles.
