Ahhh!!! I love it! This is why I love Pixtus. The members here post so many helfpul links and tips. I have not heard of Peter Hurley before but I am going to check his site out. I thought he did a great job on his video post.

Did anyone else think he looked a bit like Dane Cook?

Peter Hurley is good. Really good. I got the Headshots Dvd. It's very good.

Great posting! Thanks!

Yea, I just bought his headshot DVD, too... I've made a living doing it for 5 years, but I figure you never stop learning. :)

Interesting! Thanks for sharing this. The Kelby link did not work for me, so I searched for the Peter Hurley DVD.

let us know what you think Brad. And if you think it would be helpful for more than just headshots...
