Putting Personality back into your headshots

Do you get nervous in front of a camera? You’re not alone. We feel scrutinized and unsure of what to do with our body, so we want to rush through headshots all while feeling worried that the photos won’t turn out well and trying to hide that worry behind a fake smile. Yikes! No wonder so many people dislike photos of themselves.

 

At Art of Headshots our photographer’s talent with a camera is obvious. More importantly, their natural empathy and ability to listen help ease your nerves. Once the jitters subside they’re able to make your personality shine.

 

Invest in your future by getting a one of our professional Calgary headshots photographers to expertly capture your personality in your headshots.

Corporate Headshots

On-Location Headshots Photographer

A storied city located right on the Bow and Elbow Rivers, Calgary is not all fun and games. Thanks to a leading energy sector and a strong corporate downtown culture, Calgary runs on a “work hard” mentality. With the famous Calgary Stampede, Calgarians know how to “play hard” too.

 

With so many opportunities to make your mark on such a confident city, a strong and professional headshot (along with a little cowboy confidence) will go a long way to taking Calgary by the horns.

 

Take advantage of our convenient on-location corporate headshot service by inviting our photographer to update everyone’s headshots on the same day at your office.
