Sought the assistance of Ben Marcum for professional headshots. Upon meeting Ben today, he was very welcoming and professional. He assisted with clothing selection and was very good at talking me through the entire process of the photo session, incorporating instruction with good humor to get the job done. Pam was also excellent with makeup application and just a pleasure to chat with. Overall, I am very happy with my headshots and would highly recommend this fabulous duo for anyone looking for professional photos. Thank you Ben and Pam.

I had a great experience getting professional headshots made with Ben. We worked through several outfits and expressions to get the best look. He had me laughing during our session and that’s what captured the best shot. I also booked makeup for the session and I highly recommend booking it as well!

I was very fortunate to find Ben to update my professional business headshots. He not only made me feel at ease but somehow captured some shots that I was very happy with! When you’re ready for a refresh, give Ben a call you won’t regret the decision!

Going into my headshots, I was very apprehensive because I am not a big fan of taking photos… But, Ben made my experience so easy and fun, I would recommend him to anyone!

LOUISVILLE HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHER

Hello!  I am Louisville headshot photographer Ben Marcum.

I have had the pleasure of working with many entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors, realtors, marketing professionals, IT specialists, and so many others who want more than just a picture, but instead, want a great photo that shows them as confident and approachable. I have also worked with companies such as YUM Brands, Venture First, Barrow Brown, Weyland Ventures, Vaughn & Smith, and many more.

I studied headshot photography with world-renowned photographer Peter Hurley. I became the first photographer in this region to become an associate photographer in his training program and am now the first and only mentor in that program in Kentucky.

My goal with everyone I create for is to capture images that exude genuine expressions and connection. I guide everyone through the session to ensure they leave my studio with portraits that they feel great about using. I look forward to creating the best photo of you that you have ever seen!

What’s so important about having a professional headshot?

If you look around, you’ll actually see professional portraits everywhere – on billboards, on business cards, and even on buses and buildings!

Now think about all of the places you spend time online -LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and all of the websites you visit. Even your email is probably full of messages with professional photos of the sender or receivers. In short, both the digital and physical world is full of people’s professional portraits.

The reason for that is simple – people want to put a face to a brand. The first thing people see when they search for you on Google, social media, or your website is your profile picture.

As the old saying goes, you only get one chance to make a first impression. The professionals, performers, and creatives I photograph aren’t willing to leave that first impression to chance.

Investing in yourself is an important step in building your personal brand and standing out from the competition. At our studio in Louisville, KY, we are dedicated to helping you achieve high-quality photos that represents you and your business. Contact us today to schedule your appointment.
