Spotlight On: Tether Tools Pro Peter Hurley
 
In 2000, Tether Tools Pro Peter Hurley dropped modeling and acting to jump back in the boat and train for the Sydney ’00 Games. During this time, Peter took up photography seriously and while shooting a regatta turned the camera on a fellow model/actor and friend who had come along for the day. Those pictures ended up in Peter’s portfolio and created the outset of his new career. Since then Peter Hurley’s pictures have led him into advertising and his clients now include Levi’s, Reebok, DKNY, Johnnie Walker and Axe Deodorant to name a few. He is continually growing as a photographer, and gives a special thanks to Caggie Simonelli, Bruce Weber, and Josette Lata for making this possible.

Over the past six years Peter has been perfecting his technique and how he teaches it. Welcome to Perfecting the Headshot!
The Headshot Crew
Headshots and profile pictures are one of the highest requested types of photography currently. People who are serious about their careers are also more serious about their appearance online than ever before. As a photographer, this offers an immense opportunity to add headshot photography to your services and earn additional revenue. Enter Peter Hurley and the Headshot Crew! At the Headshot Crew, founded by world-renowned photographer Peter Hurley, they believe every person deserves to look their absolute best when shot by a photographer. The vast majority of people who step in front of a camera are not used to it and have no idea how their face looks. Peter says he’s 10% photographer, 90% therapist and that’s exactly what it boils down to. You can own all the gear in the world, but if there is no interaction between the photographer and client based on trust you will have a hard time getting amazing photographs. The good folks at the Headshot Crew are some of the most supportive, positive and honest group of likeminded photographers you will find. Being a solo-entrepreneur, you need advice and want a group of people around with your best interest at heart. The members of the Headshot Crew are offering that and more, without holding anything back. Every single one of the photographers who are a part of the Headshot Crew wants the other photographers to be as successful as possible.
