Less time in front of the camera yields a better photo

It’s the time we put into planning your headshot that makes our Executive Portrait images stand out from the rest.

At C1M, we don’t rush you through your Executive Portrait session. Some other studios might trim their sessions to the bare minimum. You’re seated in front of the camera, snapped, and find yourself back out on the sidewalk before you’ve had time to take a deep breath. We find that the time in front of the camera is actually the least important part of an Executive Portrait session.

That might sound odd. After all, what it the point of engaging a photographer other than to have a photo taken? But here’s the thing:

An Executive Portrait is not just a photo.

If all you need is a photo – if the only purpose you can see for your Executive Portrait is to let potential clients know kind of what you look like, then we are probably not the studio for you.

If you’d like an Executive Portrait that opens doors for you, one that creates a bond with potential clients even before a face-to-face meeting – one that gives you the inner track to landing the clients you want to land – then we just may be the perfect fit.

We’ll use our years of experience and our Facial Cognition™ system to craft a polished, professional, effective Executive Portrait for you.

“I’m never keen on having my picture taken. I wouldn’t say it makes me nervous, but it’s not something I look forward to, either. Walter’s welcome and the low-key atmosphere of the studio helped to put me at ease. Before I even went over and got in front of the camera, we sat and talked. Walter asked me some questions to find out exactly how I wanted to be presented. I really think that preparation on the front end made the results a lot better. It helped me to figure out what I wanted and then we worked to make that a reality. I didn’t imagine my headshot would be as good as it is. I’m very pleased. I would absolutely recommend Walter to anyone in the market for a headshot, because he takes the time to know the client, figure out what he or she wants and to make that a reality.” – Will, Londonderry, NH.
