    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 Vancouver headshots photographers to expertly capture your personality in your headshots.

    Behind the scenes

    What is an average headshot, a good headshot or a great headshot?

    An average headshot is what we call a vacant smiley; a good headshot is one you like, and a great headshot is a portrait with essence and one you love.

    We strive towards capturing a great portrait of your or your team every single time through our distinct process aimed towards capturing the essence of our customers.

    Holly Hofmann

    Holly has always felt at ease behind a lens. Finding the right combination of composition, lighting and intrigue is a math equation she never tires of trying to solve. She passionately believes everyone should have a great portrait they can hold onto for a lifetime (and takes great joy in making that happen). To capture a little slice of time, she loves to have a conversation with her photography subjects and catch them exactly when they reveal that precise thing it is that makes them who they are.

    Holly grew up in Delaware and has lived in New York, Spain, Poland and Finland. For the last ten years, Vancouver has been home. She has always been inspired by Silvia Plath’s quote: “Why can’t I try on different lives, like dresses, to see which fits best and is more becoming?” That drive has led to a diverse career in film production, teaching, journalism, documentary filmmaking and photography.

    I wasn’t succeeding with my old headshot until ‘Art of Headshots’. My first audition I landed a role in Pirates of the Caribbean, my second audition it was X-Files and my career started… Now I have a role in Altered Carbon and a career as a film actor.

    As a picky person, there have been very few occasions where I've had a picture of myself that I've liked; however, I'm extremely satisfied with the headshots that I received from Art of Headshots. Carlos is a fantastic photographer who makes you feel at ease and gets great natural looking (i.e. not stiff) shots, and then Becky works her magic to further improve upon the great shots with quality editing and touch-ups. It was like having the support of a glam-squad! I would highly recommend Art of Headshots.

    The best headshot photography service in Greater Vancouver. Carlos is a master. Over the years I have seen many Realtor photos taken by Carlos and he always does a great job of catching that right moment. Recently a Realtor I know well had an updated shot taken by someone else his office had arranged with. It was mediocre at best. Art of Headshots offers a fair price for an exceptional end result. If you are in business get your most critical marketing piece done right.
