It still amazes me how many potential opportunities are out there to showcase my work that I have not been taking advantage of. Peter Hurley’s Headshot Crew website is one of those opportunities. What’s funny (and not) is that I found the site months ago but never took action on setting up a profile. Well, I have a profile now.

The large image above is a screen shot of my initial profile setup. It will likely change over time. However, I wanted to have a solid start and not simply register, put zero images and no image of myself. That’s a waste when it only takes a few minutes to an hour or so to do something right.

By posting this information, some could say that I’m telling other headshot photographers about the site and they could be my local competition. It’s true! My local competitor could go out and set up a profile right now because of this post. Yes, that’s possible, but there are three key factors to consider.

First, I have found that people are slow to take action. Some people spend months talking about doing more for their business but never actually take the necessary action. So most people reading this post that offer headshots in their business will likely not set up a profile.

Second, for those that do take action, that’s fine as well. My photography does not and will not appeal to everyone looking for a headshot. So it’s better for someone looking for a headshot to find photography that they like. If they find someone else on HeadshotCrew.com because of this post, that’s OK.

Third, some people just don’t see the value in being listed in multiple places. They have a website and maybe a Facebook business page. That’s all they need (or think they need). That’s not my personal mindset which is one of many reasons that I’m on

Photography is just like any other profession. It’s impossible to be an expert in all things photography and be really good at everything because there is just not enough time to master it all. But many photographers attempt to shoot anything and everything they can which I think is a mistake.

Here’s a core reason why I think trying to master it all is a mistake: If you photograph weddings and don’t live under a rock, then you know who Jerry Ghionis is. He’s a master at wedding photography and gets paid very well to photograph weddings. If you’re an old photography guy like I am, you may recognize the name Gregory Heisler who is known for photographing lots of famous people in a matter of minutes because most are too busy to spend hours with him being photographed. And finally, Peter Hurley is known for headshots.

What do you want to be known for? Do you really want to be the photographer who tries to do it all? I’m not the one to say what’s right or wrong. It’s your choice to be a jack of all things photography not mine.

In my case, I like being exclusive to three core areas: Corporate Events, Headshots & Commercial Photography. OK, commercial photography can be a broad range, but at least I don’t have a list of the 25+ types of photography that I do and when it comes to event photography, I am truly exclusive to corporate events. I don’t cross over to weddings. That’s one way that I close a lot of corporate event work, but don’t share that with the photographers that do both weddings and corporate events.

Here’s some of my corporate event photography work:
