About Kristina Sherk
For the past 20 years, Kristina has been offering photography services to business professionals, CEOs, executives and performers alike in Washington DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia. She's the best female headshot photographer in DC which gives her a strong edge over the competition. "She sees things that other photographers commonly overlook. So, when you work with Kristina, you always look polished and perfect in your headshots."
She has spent the last two decades learning the most flattering way to light and pose her subjects. “There are so many tricks you can do to improve your appearance when getting photographed, and I love teaching my subjects just what to do so their amazed at how great their headshots look.”
Starting off in performing and theater (many years ago) has allowed her to experience headshot sessions from in front of the camera as well as behind it. "Having this experience allows me to empathize with the person in front of the lens, because I know exactly what it's like to be in their shoes." She noted all the things she liked and didn’t like about the headshot process and set out to create the most enjoyable portrait session for her clients.
“There’s something really satisfying about lighting, posing and capturing my clients in an image, and then showing it to them. They almost always are surprised by how good they look. They will often joke with me and say ‘I never like pictures of myself but I love these!’ At that point I know I’ve done my job. Being able to give each client this gift; the gift of a portrait they can be proud of - is what I live for.”
