THIS is what happens on a live remote headshot call! 📸❤️

People still ask me, “But Cristal, how can you photograph someone when you’re not even in the same room?”

Here’s the before and after. ⬇️

You simply put your smartphone on a stand so you’re hands-free, and we get on a live call together. I can see you, you can see me, and I personally guide you through everything—your lighting, your position, your expression, your chin, your shoulders—every little adjustment.

I direct you. I capture the images from my end. You never have to come to a studio.

And now I’ve discovered something even more exciting…

I can do this during a group live session! The host can pin one member at a time so that person is the only one on my screen, and I can photograph and direct them individually while everyone else gets to watch the experience.

We’ve already done it—and it works! 🙌

That opens up a whole new possibility for communities, teams and events: remote headshot mini-sessions, with one person stepping into the spotlight at a time.

I’m experimenting now with getting each mini-session down to about 10–15 minutes per person, which could mean several people photographed in a single live event.

No studio. No traveling. Just your smartphone, a little direction from me, and a whole new way to get your headshot. ❤️📸

Who would come to a live remote headshot event like this?
