Introduction

My name is Michael Cavotta and I was put on this earth to change the way people see things—starting with themselves. I’ve spent the last ten years of my life studying why some people show up and others don’t...on camera and in life. While I don’t pretend to have all the answers, I do have a process that creates winning images—one that’s been proven to work thousands of times over. That process based on the science of first impressions. You’ll see it in the way I prep you for your shoot; it informs how I'll direct you on camera; it’s the basis of my neuroselection process that will take us beyond the lens of ego to reveal the image that says the right things about you. From there, you’ll get a realtime preview of how I transform your raw capture into an investment-grade image good for returns on impression for years to come. When you're working with me, you’re the most important person in the room. Studio photographers can be prima donnas, but not me. I reply to my own email. I schedule my own appointments. I answer my own phone. Go ahead—try me :-) My base fee is $350, plus per image retouch & release (details in my rate card). I do offer student and military discounts. —m

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

unfold fold
All of my clients get a brainware upgrade in the form of a brief personal branding primer, along with some pre-shoot prep tips compiled after 10 years of successful headshot sessions.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

unfold fold
I was mentored early on by renowned NY headshot guru, Peter Hurley and have over 10 years of branding and design experience.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
In 2009, I traded the mercenary work of branding opportunity for the missionary work of branding people and never looked back :-)

What types of customers have you worked with?

unfold fold
Exceptionalists of all kinds—consultants, actors, executives, salespeople, small business owners...you name it.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

unfold fold
When you're looking for a headshot photographer, don't base your decision on a website or portfolio images alone. Talk to him/her on the phone; ask to drop by their studio to meet them. If you don't get a good feeling about the person or the place, they're not for you.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Who is the audience for your headshot (it's not you)? What message should it convey?
