079 - The Art of Connection: A Conversation with Headshot Photographer Peter Hurley

I'm excited to have Peter Hurley, the king of headshots, on the podcast. In this episode, we talk about what Peter feels was the best investment he ever made in his photography business, staying relevant and reaching your audience on social media, and getting comfortable with who you are as a person to communicate more genuinely with potential clients. Peter also discusses having the opportunity to be an NFL sideline photographer, finding lost things, and the topic he thinks will dominate the photography landscape in the near future.  About My Guest Peter Hurley is a world-famous photographer, an official partner of Canon and B&H Photos, and is the creator of Headshot Crew, the world's largest team of headshot and portrait photographers. Peter authored The Headshot - an in-depth book on the importance of a proper headshot and how to take the best shots possible. Peter has been featured on Fstoppers, Popular Photography and has also participated in TEDx Talks. Peter has recently launched the first-ever photography-inspired NFT collection, Shabangrs. The 2500-piece collection was created in honor of photographers and creatives around the world who haven't gotten much attention from the NFT space.
