CV Photos in Medellín

Your face is the first thing people judge you on. Not your CV, not your LinkedIn summary, not your list of skills. Your photo. A recruiter, a client, a possible partner - they see your picture before they read a single word, and in about a second they’ve already decided something about you.

So it’s worth having a good one.

Most people don’t. They crop themselves out of a group photo, or use a selfie shot from six inches away that makes their nose look like it’s arriving before the rest of them. Or worse, a stiff document photo, the kind you get for a passport, lit flat and shot to make you look like a suspect. None of that says “competent professional.” It says “I did the minimum.”

A real headshot does the opposite. Soft light, a clean background, an expression that looks like you on a good day. And it works everywhere your face has to represent you: LinkedIn, your CV, your company’s team page, your portfolio, the PDF you email a client. One good picture, used everywhere.

Here’s the part people underestimate. That image outlasts whatever you need it for today. You use it when you apply for the next thing, when a recruiter finds you online, when you get promoted and update your profile, when a client googles you before a call. A selfie gets retaken every few months. A real headshot you keep for years.

I work with a lot of expats, digital nomads, and professionals here in Medellín - people running real careers from a laptop who need to look the part online. I’m an American photographer based in Laureles, and I work in English and Spanish, so we do the session in whichever you’re more comfortable in.

The Studio Headshot runs about 45 minutes. You get one fully retouched image on a clean background, sized and ready for LinkedIn, your CV, and anywhere else your face stands in for you. We take our time, I show you how to sit and where to put your hands, and we shoot until we’ve got one that actually looks like you.

If the photo at the top of your profile is doing you no favors, come see me. Book a session here and we’ll get you something you’re glad to put your name next to.
