Corporate headshots feel a bit like going to a lousy used car dealership. The guy at the dealership has a pinky ring, a fake tan, hair gel, and some very loud suit. Maybe a diamond earring as well. It’s a stereotype because it’s seen so often. But who does it impress? It must impress some folks or else it would die out.

(Who are doing $50k deals on a daily basis.) They can figure out if you’re a cash customer (unfavorable to them, must get a higher price) even if you’re trying to hide the fact.
