  • Description


    This course is designed to teach you everything you need to know about shooting and editing your own headshot at home, with a camera or a phone. If you want to step up your social media profile photo (LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, etc.) this class is for you.

    Why This Class?

    Your profile image is the first point of contact with the online world. Having a strong headshot is important because:

    1. It creates a visual first impression of you to potential employers, clients, or collaborators.
    2. It can convey professionalism and competence, and can make you appear more approachable.
    3. It helps to establish your personal brand and sets you apart from others in your field.
    4. A high-quality profile image can increase your credibility and attract more opportunities.

    In this class, I show many examples (both indoor and outdoor) of how you can easily shoot and edit impactful headshots in the comfort of your home.

    Is this Class for me?

    No prior experience in photography or editing is required. This course is designed to teach everything you need to know about the production and editing process with both mobile and desktop. It is suitable for beginners and intermediates who wish to learn and improve the quality of their profile photos.

    Do you need expensive gear for this type of shot?

    Absolutely not, everything you need is just a camera or a smartphone. During the course, I’ll show practical examples of how you can shoot your own headshot both indoor and outdoor.

    Are you qualified to teach this topic?

    While I used to be a commercial videographer for brands, in the past few years I specialised in Portrait Photography. During the first lockdown, I started teaching photo/videography tips on TikTok,  Instagram and YouTube where I now count almost 1M followers among the two platforms. What used to be my passion (photography) is now my full-time job. And I love it.

    I'm an Italian professional photo/videographer based in London. My passion for making video started when I was more or less 10 years old. Since then, I 've been focused on improving my skills every day. Born and raised in a small village in the north of Italy, I moved to Hong Kong in 2017. 

    My never-ending eagerness for creating contents and an increasing need for eye-catching, short and impactful videos allowed me to start getting some small gigs on the side. In 2019, I moved to London to study business while working part-time as a professional videographer landing projects with worldwide famous brands such as: 

    During 2020, after accomplishing a Guinness World Record on the Mount Everest, I focused on teaching Photography and Videography on my social media accounts which now count more than 315k+ followers on instagram followers, 800k+ on TikTok, and 15k+ on YouTube

    Today I'm also a global Ambassador for Joby and Nanlite (two leading brands in the photography industry).

    Being a Swimming instructor, Personal trainer and Professional Photo/Videographer I find the teaching experience the most rewarding.
