In this episode I explore the hidden emotional and psychological battle that unfolds on both sides of a headshot session. Clients step in front of the camera carrying fear, self doubt and the pressure of seeing themselves truthfully, often for the first time in years. But photographers face their own mental battle as well. We carry the responsibility of guiding someone through vulnerability, reading their emotions in real time, earning their trust and delivering images that honor who they are today.
This conversation dives into the inner stress, expectations and invisible work happening behind the lens, revealing why a headshot session becomes an intense experience for everyone involved. It goes far beyond technique and touches the human core of this craft, offering insight for both photographers and anyone who has ever stood in front of a camera.
