Been in the photo booth industry for nearly 10 years and generate $400k annually (set to do over half a mil by 2024) in the wedding and events space. I don't feel like I am the expert by any means in business or entrepreneurship, but I've built a couple successful companies on a small scale, and have an MBA, so maybe I can contribute to your success.

While many people would see these images of themselves as a vast upgrade from the crap iPhone photos they are accustomed to, what you describe is not how a true quality headshot is created.

Not sure what you mean? We run a headshot booth and I can assure you, we create great quality headshots using everything that would be done in a full studio setting (keylight, fill light, depth of field, high-end ff camera + lens, and whatever else is needed to achieve the look or room we have to work with) - and there are others who ONLY do this. The only thing lacking is personality - we don't sit there and pose each guest for an hour to get different styles, etc. These are bulk jobs, so there has to be a level of speed to get through a tradeshow or corporate office scenario.

Ok. We’re talking apples and oranges. You’re doing bulk… conferences and the like. I see what you mean.

I was referring to a dedicated one on one head shot session.
