LinkedIn Headshots: Camerin Gumbs
See yourself as a professional

IT’S THE FIRST THING THEY SEE…
It is all about confidence in who you are and not what other people may think or say you are. Having a high quality professional headshot for your LinkedIn profile, Campaign, New business card, etc… is so important. It doesn’t just bring a confidence to your future employers or clients but every time you look at yourself, you gain confidence by looking at it. Yes it is possible for you to take your own photo and be able to use it for professional reasons, but why stress yourself even more when you can hire a professional that will help bring who you already are to life.
“Having a professional photo for my LinkedIn has helped me get introduced into the corporate world.
I had a great experience taking photos with Matt. It was never just one shot/position, we were constantly switching it up and coming up with different poses on the spot.”
Camerin was such a pleasure to work with, he was a little nervous in the beginning but he was prepared to step out of his comfort zone and crushed this shoot! My favorite shot had to be the third photo from the top (he is opening his jacket, walking towards me, head down and smiling). The people I work with whether they are a model or someone who has never been in front of a camera, I always put them in motion.
I give them a few directions to follow while they move toward or away from my camera and we create a scene as if they were in a movie/commercial. Even if they think they did it wrong it gets them to loosen up and not worry about getting it right but doing something new and enjoying it.
