Last month I received an email from Backstage asking me to submit two of my favorite headshots with an explanation of my shooting philosophy and specifics regarding the images I had chosen. It seemed like an interesting proposal and I immediately started considering which images I would choose. When I went back to re-read the email to see what size images to submit and how long the explanation should be, I noticed the subject line of the email. It said To: Joe Henson...and 454 others! When I clicked on the 454 others, I saw an endless list of headshot photographers who had been sent the same email. 454 others! I knew that the market was getting saturated with photographers since the advent of digital, but WHOA!
I decided to go through with the submission anyway, curious about how my work would stack up against the potential 454 others' work. These are the photos I chose and this is what I had to say...
Last night I received an email directing me to this link
http://bit.ly/nDNFBu. I was one of 14 photographers in New York whose work was chosen to be featured!
My takeaway from this experience? 14 in 454 odds are...not so bad!
