Many of today's profile photos featured within LinkedIn, email signatures, and beyond look more professional than ever. The headshot, it seems, is the modern digital handshake.
Attending today's conferences, you may often have the opportunity to enroll for a time slot with an on-site headshot station. Beyond providing the functional purpose of a headshot refresh, these stations are true-to-form activations, creating branded, memorable, modern photo engagement experiences. They are also netting sponsoring organizations a lead-generating engagement opportunity, and headshot photographers have access to a new generation of sophisticated workflows allowing rapid private photo distribution, equipped with real-time editing—and in some cases, near-real-time professional retouching.
While SpotMyPhotos is best known for its private, automated event photography workflows, professional headshot specialists have adopted the technology to create seamless, high-quality headshot experiences. Headshot photographers using SpotMyPhotos find efficiency both upstream from a session with QR code self-registration, as well as downstream, where automated private delivery affords headshot recipients with the option to quickly request that certain photos be edited for professional use. What used to take weeks, now can be completed in seconds.
SpotMyPhotos entered the headshot field at the start of COVID-19 as the company transitioned from providing photo delivery services for events with hundreds of event attendees to those with only one attendee—in the form of the headshot station. In the summer of 2020, the company teamed up with the globally renowned Headshot Crew, led by Peter Hurley, to deliver 10,000 headshots to Americans who had recently lost employment due to the pandemic. In a single day, 10,000 recently displaced individuals received a refreshed professional identity, which could be uploaded with a click to LinkedIn. Inadvertently, this partnership created the world's largest network of corporate event and headshot photographers, with access to seamless modern workflows elevating photo delivery experiences.
While corporations with centralized workplaces have long known the routine of high-volume professional headshot engagements, new models have emerged to support headshot fulfillment with consistent lighting and styles for distributed teams, fulfilled by headshot networks spanning states and continents.
