Number Three

July 14, 2010

Last week I wasn’t showing up anywhere in search for headshots, boohoo. Yesterday I was number three in just one week! I wasn’t really thinking about optimizing for headshots because I’m basically a model shooter. The film industry has come to town so headshots are on my radar more.

Headshot First

July 6, 2010
