Peter Hurley – The Art Behind The Headshot

Salepage : Peter Hurley – The Art Behind The Headshot

Fstoppers collaborated with a relatively unknown photographer who was fully dominating the New York City headshot market in 2010. The ensuing Fstoppers Original video was a huge hit with our audience (you can see it below). The issue with the movie was that it just scraped the surface of Peter’s approach for obtaining his well-known headshots. Peter was already one of the world’s most successful headshot photographers at the time, but he had never disclosed any of his techniques for capturing individuals looking their best in front of his camera. We were able to persuade Peter to finally release all of the lighting secrets and coaching tactics he had been keeping so close to his breast.

The Art Behind the Headshot by Peter Hurley was a piece of history in the making since it was the first time Fstoppers published a lengthy, professional digital instructional, and it was also the first time Peter taught any of his skills to the general audience. Years later, Peter’s career has reached unthinkable heights, as he is now not only one of the finest photographers in New York, but also one of the most sought-after photography educators. The Art Behind the Headshot has become one of Fstoppers’ most popular lessons, and it continues to assist photographers learn how to capture better portraits of people. Peter has released two more videos since 2010, including his intense lighting workshop Illuminating the Face and his redesigned coaching tutorial Perfecting the Headshot. If The Art Behind the Headshot documents Peter’s skills early in his teaching career, Perfecting the Headshot documents Peter’s progress as a headshot photographer and photography educator.

Peter Hurley spent his early years as a professional male model around the world. During that period, Peter was photographed by some of the world’s finest fashion photographers. As a model, Peter was forced to study the delicate motions of his own face, but he was also able to master the technical side of photography from some of the world’s greatest. Peter relocated to New York City after noticing a gap in the market that he believed he could fill. “I felt I might be successful if I could shoot actors’ headshots the way commercial photographers shot celebrities.” Over the last eight years, Peter has established himself as the world’s leading headshot photographer.
