Benefits of hiring a professional for your ERAS headshot
Professional headshot photography has its benefits. An advantage to hiring an experienced professional for your headshot, is the objectivity and expertise available. I have developed a very finely tuned, systematic approach to headshot photography. Ultimately, I want you to look poised and open for business, with a quiet confidence, and at the same time reveal just a little something about your clarity and intelligence. As you view the headshot gallery, you will notice a certain connection and engagement with the camera.
As your session progresses, likely you will understand how my procedures and technique result in a fun and pleasant, strees free experience. Read my reviews. Several reviews on my Google business page, are very twell thought out, articulate descriptions of just how pleasant the experience was, and how the results were perceived.
I'm a big fan of Vanessa Van Edwards. She wrote a book titled, CUES: Small signals Incredible impact. I keep it on-set, near my desk. It is full of excellent body language advice. I am so enthusiastic about this book, when it first hit the market, I gave out about 25 copies to my best headshot clients.
As a student of body language, I will share my wisdom with you.
If you were to ask any of my past headshot clients how the experience was for them, they will tell you that my headshot technique is client centric. Your session will be totally about you. If you are self employed and you come to the studio, your hair color, wardrobe and complexion, and possibly your industry, and your profession, will help me determine what background to use. For corporate headshots when I am doing groups, I will match the current website.
I will coach you extensively on your micro expressions. There is no need to stay up all night worried about your smile. I've got this covered! My easy, pleasant method will onboard you pretty quickly.
If you applying to a medical residency program this year, I have done the research for you. According to AAMC - the Association of American Medical Colleges the maximum size requirement for an ERAS photo is 2.5 by 3.5 inches at 150 dpi. Once you pick out your final headshot, you will automatically receive multiple digital copies of your headshot: a master copy that can be printed or used to make smaller crops, and one crop will be the required ERAS size, and whatever else you might want. Some folks like to insert a headshot into their email signature, I can supply that one too. Typically each use requires its own dimensions or it will either get pixelated or fail to upload.
