This excerpt from Fstoppers‘ Well Rounded Photographer includes an hour and a half crash course from Peter Hurley on headshot photography.  Peter Hurley became the world’s most famous headshot photographer over a decade ago after his signature style took over the acting scene in New York City. When we first released The Art Behind the Headshot, neither Peter nor Fstoppers had any idea just how much it would transform the photography world. Today, Peter Hurley is one of the most sought-after photographers and educators in the industry, and he has singlehandedly changed the world of headshot and portrait photography.   In Peter’s lesson, he shares some of his most useful lighting and posing tips. For lighting, Peter covers his signature LED light bank system but also teaches simpler single-light and speedlight variations. Of course, Peter’s most valuable tips have to do with his coaching. No matter how uncomfortable your subject may be, Peter will give you the tools needed to take control of the shoot, and capture the best possible images, guaranteed.

The goal of filming the Fundamentals of Fashion Photography was to boil down as much information as possible into a bunch of short, digestible lessons that are easy to follow while still providing the viewer actionable lessons they can immediately start practicing on their own. We cover every aspect of Shavonne's process, including what gear she uses, how she finds the best people to work with, her favorite lighting setups and camera settings, and how she edits images in Capture One and Photoshop. Our hope is that these lessons will allow you to fast-track your learning and start shooting professional images as soon as possible.

As much as we'd all like to believe our photography has a signature style that immediately stands out to those who would hire us, the truth is that it's often difficult to catch people's attention when there are thousands of images being posted to social media every minute. In order to succeed as a photographer, you must first capture someone's attention effectively. Shavonne Wong recognized this when she innovated her process of living stills.
