Parris Hunter Studio, Brooklyn

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
Headshots of Brooklyn operates on the principle that everyone is beautiful. My 1 hour session strives to capture essential beauty, with just the right touch of professional lighting. Great attention is paid to both facial expression & pose to achieve the customer's best, individually stylized look.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
With the rise of social media, there are ever more applications for great quality images to represent ourselves online. Most people are unable to afford photographers' exorbitant fees & end up with selfies. I can do much more, helping that person to look their very best, at an affordable rate.

What do you love most about your job?
As a photographer, there is nothing more rewarding than providing a quality image to a client, and having them rave in approval of it. Even better, the feeling one gets in showing someone who's forgotten, how beautiful they really are.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?
The best reactions are those who find work, be it from LinkedIn, or for an acting or modeling gig, using my images. These are tough economic times, especially for artists of all kinds. I know that we can make it through by offering our services to each other at attainable rates.
