Headshots for Medical Professionals: Damion Jenkins, MSN, RN
I recently invited my friend Damion into the studio for a headshot photoshoot. Damion and I have been friends for a few years now. The funny thing is that we met in NYC, but had both lived in Maryland for many years prior to moving to the city. What a small world?! It's always special when a friend supports your business!
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a lot of professionals within many industries, including the healthcare industry. I’m often working with hospitals and other medical institutions on assignments, so I’ve got a good vision for what it takes to create strong headshots for medical professionals. I’ve photographed many doctors, surgeons, nurses, researchers and specialists throughout NYC and beyond. I have major respect for these healthcare workers and I want to make each and every one of them look and feel amazing in their professional headshots.
Damion let me use my best judgment for lighting & backdrop options. Since Damion works in Healthcare, I wanted to give him bright and clean images that had a timeless look he could use for a while. Keeping his photos simple also allows for Damion to utilize his headshots in any sort of design he may need for his own professional brand The Nurse Speak - Strategies for NCLEX and Nursing Success. I knew with the lighting I had set up, I could quickly change things up and create a dark grey background to change the vibe. With this simple lighting change, it gives Damion's images a completely different look. We spent time throughout the shoot going over the images and by the time Damion left the studio, he had this final selects picked out!
I provide my clients with both color and b&w options for their images. I find that this helps expand their use of images for their promotional and marketing needs.
In the studio, I’m able to quickly change my lighting to provide a modern, editorial look for my headshot clients. This looks great in both color and b&w.
While our main focus on Damion’s photoshoot was for professional headshots, we were able to create a variety of images that Damion could use for his own personal brand. This can happen with my headshot clients, I always try my best to shoot a variety of angles, poses and crops so that you have plenty to choose from!
