Recognized as a premier headshot and portrait photographer, Peter Hurley has quite the tale to tell. His work is known for the genuine expressions he captures, and he has grown his business into an international organization. He is also an in-demand speaker and photo educator, but Hurley has an interesting \\u201corigin story\\u201d when it comes to photography, and we will discuss how he went from being a competitive sailor to a model to a photographer and how sailing remains an integral part of his creative life.

This week\\u2019s episode of the B&H Photography Podcast is a casual but insightful conversation about life\\u2019s twists and turns taking you to a place you never expected and how being open to challenges and to advice can motivate creativity. Sometimes \\u201cfailing\\u201d is the best way to find your success, and Hurley tells us about competing for the U.S. Olympic sailing team and how accepting opportunities that seemed far from his initial goal led him to photography. We also talk about how he turned his headshot business into the \\u201cHeadshot Crew\\u201d and now coaches and disperses work to a network of photographers around the world.

Throughout the conversation, we touch on tips to improve your own portrait and headshot game and Hurley mentions the lighting kit he has created with Westcott. We also discuss the \\u201c10,000 Headshot\\u201d project, for which he helped to organize his network of photographers to aid folks left unemployed by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the support of Canon and others, members of the Headshot Crew have photographed thousands of people, creating free headshots for anyone out of work. And as we discuss, a quality headshot is increasingly important in the \\u201cwork from home\\u201d era. Join us for this enjoyable conversation.
