New Headshots for the American Red Cross Cascades Region

Reviewers and Participants

New Headshots for the Leadership Team at the American Red Cross Cascades Region

We created new headshots for the leadership team of American Red Cross Cascades Region using a single light set up. We photographed on-site at the client’s office during their retreat for the Oregon and Southwest Washington chapters. This provided easy coordination and access to the headshot session for those traveling from out of town for the retreat.

The single light set up included a 7ft umbrella, a Profoto B10 strobe head and a bounce card opposite the strobe to fill the shadows.

On-site set ups require no additional cost.

About the American Red Cross in the Cascades Region

In the Cascades Region, which covers the vast area of Oregon and Southwest Washington, approximately 2,600 volunteers provide response, relief and recovery services; save lives through health and safety training; provide assistance to active military members, their families and local veterans; and ensure we maintain a safe and stable blood supply for patients in need.

American Red Cross History

For the past 100 years, the American Red Cross Cascades Region has been there for the people of Oregon and Southwest Washington. Since the establishment of our first regional chapter in 1917, the Red Cross has helped millions of people affected by disasters, including home fires, floods and other emergencies. Our disaster responders have deployed quickly to help support the needs of people affected by disasters big and small. From health and safety classes to lifesaving blood collection and support of military members, their families and veterans, the Red Cross is woven into the fabric of our community. Learn more about the history of the Red Cross in our community and how you can be a part of the mission to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the next century and beyond. Source

Take Your Career To The Next Level With Professional Headshots

headshot in circle and adobe express logo

By Ellie Jensen with Adobe Express

Professional headshots are an increasingly important part of any successful career. They have the power to draw attention and make you stand out in a crowded creative field, as well as boost your self-esteem and give you confidence. Whether you’re in the entertainment industry or applying for a job, it’s important to get a headshot that showcases your best features. In this blog post courtesy of photographer Erica J Mitchell, we’ll take a look at a few reasons why professional photography is crucial for your career.

A Professional Photographer Knows How To Bring Out Your Best Features

When selecting a photographer for your professional headshots, it’s important to find someone who understands how to bring out the best features in their subject. Photographers understand which angles and lighting will emphasize your facial features, and how to position you in order to get the perfect shot. A good photographer should also be able to provide direction on how to pose so that the focus is always on you.

A Pro Understands Trends in Various Industries

It’s not enough just to take a standard headshot photo for any occasion; for a professional image, your portrait must reflect current trends in your industry. Having knowledge of what kind of look is preferred by employers or casting directors can play a huge role when taking your picture. It could be something as simple as choosing the right background or clothing, or having knowledge of certain lighting techniques that will bring out your features better than others. A talented photographer will be able to give advice and guidance on all of these things so that you end up with a great shot that also fits within current trends.

Stand Out In a Crowded Creative Field

Having a great professional headshot can help make sure you stand out from other applicants or performers vying for the same job or role. The right portrait can show employers and casting directors that you have put a lot of thought and effort into your appearance, which can help them remember you when it’s time to make a decision. Your photographer may even be able to help you choose the right outfit or background depending on what kind of look you want to convey.

Boost Your Self-Esteem

Investing in getting professional photographs taken is more than just about looking good. It can also help boost your confidence and self-esteem by showing off who you really are without having to rely on filters or heavy makeup. Knowing that there is an amazing shot of yourself tucked away in your photo album can be helpful when times get tough, especially during job searches or auditions where rejection is inevitable at times.

Create Different Projects With Adobe Express

Once you have chosen the perfect photo from your session, consider using Adobe Express to create different projects with professional results. This program allows users to easily create professional-looking cards, logos, websites, and portfolios with ease, and the program is extremely budget-friendly. Here are a few examples of the projects you can make with Adobe:

  • Create a custom business card that shows off the personality of your business. This is perfect for networking no matter what field you’re in. Use the free Adobe Express app to build your card in no time.
  • Design a professional banner for LinkedIn and show potential employers what you’re all about. This is an easy way to catch their eye and show off your personality at the same time. Make sure the finished banner is uncluttered for maximum effectiveness.
  • If you’re a business owner, make a company brochure that includes your headshot. This is an easy-to-read format for customers when you have a lot of information to share. Add photos of your products or the business itself to make it more dynamic.
  • Make a stunning photo card to send out to friends or family. This is perfect for milestone events, such as graduations, or you can use it to announce an upcoming creative event such as a book launch or art show. Adobe’s tools make the process super quick and easy.

Investing in professional headshot photography is an invaluable investment when looking at enhancing your career prospects long-term, no matter what industry you are working in. Not only does it increase your chances of standing out among other applicants/performers, but it also provides you with tangible photos to use for promotional projects. With the right photos, you can boost your career immeasurably.
