Traditional Man vs Wise Man: The Headshot Journey
A tale of two approaches to getting a professional headshot — one full of hassle, the other full of ease.
The Traditional Man 🧑💼
He called the photographer and booked an appointment.
It got canceled twice, but finally, the day arrived.
The photographer showed up late. After spending 30 minutes setting up his equipment, the shoot was about to start.
But wait — I had forgotten to shave. That meant more delay. Then, I had to quickly iron a couple of dresses for the shoot.
Unfortunately, my hair wasn’t done right either. I convinced myself it was “okay” (but honestly, it wasn’t).
I wore my business attire, and the nightmare began.
The photographer kept saying:
- "Move your face a bit here."
- "Turn your chin up."
- "Fix your hair."
I didn’t want to relive that moment.
For the sake of variety, I was told to change into other outfits and even try new locations. At one spot, trespassers kept staring while I posed.
Being a shy person, it was extremely awkward.
In the end, I paid around $500 (including transport).
The photographer promised delivery in 2 days.
Finally, the photos arrived.
And the truth? Expectation vs reality hit me hard. The poses felt forced, the background didn’t fit, and the touch-ups made things worse.
The Wise Man 🧑💻
A few days later, I met a friend who also needed a photo for a corporate event.
I shared my painful photoshoot story with him, expecting sympathy.
Instead, he calmly said:
“I didn’t hire a photographer. I just did it lying down on my sofa.”
I was stunned.
“How? Your photos look amazing! No way a mobile camera can produce this level of detail.”
Then he smiled and revealed his secret:
Headshot.hosan.in
He had used the Standard Plan.
Within a few hours, he got 80 professional headshots. He picked the best 10 for:
- Corporate events
- LinkedIn profile
- Even his dating profile 😉
Traditional Man Becomes Wise Man 🎉
I couldn’t believe it.
Immediately, I sat down, uploaded around 15 selfies (mostly group photos where I cropped myself).
The website even had a built-in cropping tool.
That’s it. Upload → Done.
In just 1.5 hours, I received an email:
“Your headshots are ready.”
I opened the results, and my jaw dropped.
I looked handsome, confident, and professional.
I was literally jumping with a fist bump in the air.
The Lesson 📸
- The Traditional Man wasted time, money, and energy.
- The Wise Man saved all that and still got stunning results.
