Why choose Professional headshots in Nashville?

Nashville runs a corporate headshot market in healthcare and finance alongside a music-industry portrait market, and they are as far apart as two briefs in one city get. A hospital system wants clean, consistent and conservative. An artist or a writer wants something with texture and mood that a directory would reject outright. Both are an hour; almost nothing else about them is the same.

Worth knowing about Nashville

The music-industry portrait here is usually shot outdoors against brick at the end of the day, and the practical constraint is not light but the calendar: East Nashville and the Gulch are busiest at exactly that hour on a Friday and Saturday. Those sessions are booked mid-week, which costs nothing and buys the street back.

FAQ — Professional headshots in Nashville

Do you shoot music-industry portraits as well as corporate headshots?

Yes, and they are photographed differently within the same hour. A corporate headshot runs clean and conservative for a directory; an artist portrait runs with more texture, mood and room in the frame. Say which you need at booking, because the location and the lighting are decided before the session rather than in editing.

What should I wear?

For a corporate headshot, one step more formal than your workplace in a solid mid-tone — navy, charcoal or burgundy hold their color, black closes up and white glows. For an artist portrait, whatever you would actually wear on stage or at work; the point of that photograph is that it looks like you rather than like a headshot.
