I recently launched a new website called "The Headshot Dojo." Through free and paid content, I teach fellow photographers all the shooting and posing techniques I use in my own business. I also teach marketing, SEO, business processes and more.
So if you have so much fun with your headshot session that you want to work in the field, I've got you covered!
Here's the Facebook page for the biz: https://www.facebook.com/headshotdojo

Every person and face is different, and we treat them as such. We're not cranking out widgets! Dennis adjusts his lighting and angles to best suit every individual who walks in front of his camera.
You have 24/7 online access to your finished images.
Dennis was a newspaper photographer for 20 years and knows all about deadlines. Need new headshots for a speaking engagement tomorrow? We can make it happen!
Photography is like a moment, an instant. You need a half-second to get the photo. So it's good to capture people when they are themselves.

Dennis is a veteran photographer who has completed hundreds of portraits commissions for publications including the Washington Post, New York Times and American Red Cross. His portrait subjects have included doctors, lawyers, scientists, celebrities and even the President.
Dennis' work has won awards in the national Pictures of the Year competition, three Maryland State Arts Council Grants, an Arthur Burns Fellowship to work at the German magazine Stern, and two Fulbright Fellowships for work in Pakistan and Cambodia.
Photography is the simplest thing in the world, but it is incredibly complicated to make it really work.
