Get Headshots Tailored to the Looks You Want

If you’ve been shopping around for headshots, you may be visiting other photographer websites. If you have a keen eye, you’ll notice that some may have different faces for the shots but the same flat lighting, maybe even the same backgrounds, over and over again. Some photographers might call this their “style” but is it, or is it just a limitation in their technical or equipment capabilities?

Some photographers may only know how to do a specific light setup or two or they may be limited by only having one or two lights, or one or two background options. Pay attention to these details. If they are indeed limited and that’s still the shot and look you want, then by all means it’s probably okay to move forward with them. But if you want truly tailored shots to match specificities you might have with your looks, you’ll need much more. This is The Light Committee difference.

With The Light Committee, you can collaborate on a single light setup or a five light setup, or something slightly less or even more. In addition, there are literally more than a hundred background color and texture combination options, not to mention the use of outdoors and natural light. In other words, your creative desire for the looks you want is much more possible with The Light Committee compared with almost any other studio.
