Are Headshot Portraits In Your Repertoire?

February 7, 2016 by Seshu | Editor & Publisher

Beginnings Of A Headshot Portraits Business

I am indebted to four people when it comes to jump starting my business, Connecticut Headshots.

In the past, I have written about Zack Arias, Dylan Patrick and Peter Hurley. But the guy who really instilled a love for business portraits in me, was Eric Laurits.

Talking About Headshots

I sat riveted to my seat the first time Eric presented at Inspire Photo Retreats, some two or three years ago. A few weeks back, I had the opportunity and pleasure to speak with him in advance of his presentation at this year's Inspire conference in Newport, Rhode Island.

Portfolio Of Portraits

Eric's topic at Inspire Photo Retreats is “Headshot A Lot.” Take a look at a sample of his work below. You'll quickly see that he is a master of his art. Like he influenced me, he has helped scores of other photographers to embark on careers in headshot portrait photography as well.

Discovering Brett Jarnagin’s Lightroom Retouching Toolkit

August 31, 2015 by Seshu | Editor & Publisher

When Brett Jarnagin and I connected, it was at Photo Plus Expo some years back. The funny thing is, he didn't remember me from way back then. But the guy can be excused because he was manning a busy booth and he must have talked to thousands of other photographers on that day in New York.

Fast forward to just a few weeks back and I came to know that Brett is the brains behind Lightroom Retouching Toolkit. As someone who enjoys working quickly and efficiently on his iMac, I was naturally intrigued about what Brett was promoting.

Lightroom Retouching Toolkit

I wanted to know whether I could work on photographs like I did with Photoshop and his quick answer was, “heck yeah!” That had me 90% there but I wasn't going to be convinced until I started using his Lightroom Retouching Toolkit for my own busy business portrait business in Connecticut.

Let me tell ya, the experience is amazing. Yes, it does take a little effort in learning where some of the buttons are, but once you repeatedly use the interface, you should be all set. As always the more you practice with the presets and settings and dial them to your liking and make the program really do what you want it to do, the better your results are going to be.

I sat down with Brett to talk to him about Lightroom Retouching Toolkit; to better understand why he decided this was a good time to bring this to market and how it has helped him and other photographers in the industry to sail through the dreaded tasking of retouching skin in particular and portraits, in general.

Oh, one more thing. You want to know how generous Brett is? Even before I could say, “hey, can you hook my audience with a discount code,” he sent me a quick text to say that he would be happy to extend a 20% discount code to all of you if you wanted to buy Lightroom Retouching Toolkit today.

Here is the code – TIFFINBOX20 – remember it's 20% off the regular price of Lightroom Retouching Toolkit for fans of Tiffinbox.

And you are a fan, right?
