The Modern Headshot
About this Challenge
We’re calling on you to explore professional headshots as a genre. Capture people in their careers. Architects in hard hats. Tattoo artists mid-sketch. Nurses between shifts. Interns on day one. Executives on year twenty. Show us the real range of modern professionals across industries, ages, and paths.
Set your subject against a clean wall with soft window light and let presence do the heavy lifting. Or step into their world and capture them where the work actually happens. A stripped-back headshot can be just as powerful as a layered environmental portrait.
This isn’t about stiff poses and awkward smiles. It’s about capturing real people at every stage of their careers. First internship nerves. Mid-career momentum. Senior-level calm. Corporate. Creative. Corporate but secretly creative. If it’s professional and powerful, we want to see it.
