Flexcar Headshots
Contributions
Upon joining Flexcar the art director promptly trained me on headshot photography (lighting, posing, photo settings, editing etc.) with the assumption that I would work with 1-3 other people to take on company-wide headshots. After a few training sessions, I was comfortable. During the art Director's maternity leave,
I ended up single-handedly taking over headshots for the entire company. This also included managing appointments and setting up the photo editing area on a weekly to bi-weekly basis. I would do anywhere from 2 to 6 headshots per 4-hour full session.

Shoot Planning
I figured out efficiencies within Lightroom using new AI tech that made editing about 75% faster and made it through over half of the entire HQ employees and incorporated my own flare with some fun & expressive headshots.
Nearly 100% of headshots taken were used on Slack and about 80% on LinkedIn. The headshots became so popular that the abroad teams in India, Jamaica, Atlanta, Charlotte, & Nashville all asked for headshots so I worked with the Art director to create a guide to standardize the process.
