About John Ricard

Nice to virtually meet you! I am John Ricard a NYC-based headshot photographer. You are undoubtedly proud of all that you have accomplished in your personal and professional life. Allow me to create a portrait of you that you will love using to represent yourself here on LinkedIn and in your social media postings. You deserve a good headshot. Are you proud of your accomplishments? Do you feel your current images present you as someone on the brink of achieving all their goals? Do you enjoy working with people like myself who have mastered their craft? WILL YOU ALLOW ME TO CREATE AN IMAGE YOU WILL TREASURE? Your session will take less than 2 hours. Before the shoot, I will help you decide what you should wear and assist you with any other styling concerns. During the shoot, I will coach you to ensure that we create images with a variety of expressions. You may feel that you don\'t photograph well, but you need not worry. I use special lighting and posing techniques that ensure you look your best. Throughout the shoot, we will stop to review images so you can see what we are capturing and we can calibrate how to proceed with the rest of the shoot. DO YOU REALLY NEED A PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOT? If you believe people should work with you because you are a master of your craft, then you want everything associated with your brand to be top-tier. A selfie is not appropriate branding for someone who aspires to be respected by their peers and potential partners. A proper headshot: • Helps make you and your brand more relatable •Helps generate trust in you • Conveys confidence WHAT IS THE PROCESS? We begin with a free, no-obligation phone call or Zoom session. Here we will discuss your photo needs and even give you some clothing tips that will be useful to you even if you don\'t book a session. Most importantly, you will get an idea of my personality. Once you get to know me, I am confident you wil believe that I can create an image of you that you are proud to display. NEXT STEP Reach out to me directly by messaging me here on LinkedIn or by giving me a call at (91••••••97. Whichever method you use, you are assured to receive a response directly from me and not an AI bot. I\'m eager to get to know you and I\'d like for you to get to know me.
