Stoked with how these author headshots created for Jennifer turned out, tailored for publishing and editorial features.

FPV is insane, and @loganlien makes it look easy. From learning on a simulator to working 16 hour days on a FIFA job, there is a lot of good stuff covered in this one. 🚀 Was the drone indestructible or no? (Watch till end).

Editors have a unique power: they shape the story in their own creative way, while carrying the responsibility of honoring the storyteller’s voice. It’s a balancing act of creativity and respect—crafting a narrative that feels true to both the vision and the story itself. Loved our conversation with @makennawall surrounding editing. Such a fun and happy person to be around!

Sometimes you have to become before you are ready. Belief opened doors and brought opportunities for director @dfromhart. Running also proved to be a lovely challenge on this one’s audio😀

How do you know you have made it in the world of production? Once a ping pong table is acquired ✅ @dannychastain.dp, Dp and co-founder of @offbeatseattle, chats with us about what is truly important on any set and how to get more work in this industry.

AD’s can sometimes get a bad rap but they are a backbone to most productions 🩻 Loved playing cards, chatting, and laughing with @chloes.ciara ♠️♣️ Learned a lot from her and can’t wait to work with her in the future. #assistantdirector

These headshots are more than photos—they’re the faces of leadership, trust, and credibility for a company’s website. But here’s the thing: not every business has a big budget for professional shoots. So, how can you still elevate your visuals without breaking the bank? ⚡ Low-budget strategies for big credibility: • Work with what you have: Use natural light and a clean wall to create simple, distraction-free headshots. • Be intentional with your gear: Your phone’s portrait mode, when done thoughtfully, can rival pro shots in a pinch. • Consistency is the hack: Make sure everyone’s photos feel like they belong to the same story—similar lighting, background, and tones. Great visuals shouldn’t feel out of reach. Whether you’re starting scrappy or going all-in, the key is making it human. Need help figuring out your approach? Let’s create something impactful together.
