With a traditional Headshot, the focus is on you, usually shot from the chest up. In a Personal Branding Session, you delve deep into not just who you are visually, but into telling the story of what you do & why you do it via detail shots, lifestyle shots, photos of you in action, you with your products, etc.

The main difference being that a headshot is a professional representation of the subject for the desired use of the photograph, while a portrait is an artistic representation of the person. A business owner may elect to have a studio headshot taken then have a variety of portraits taken at their place of business.

Headshots are a subset of portraiture. Any portrait photographer should be able do a decent headshot, but someone who is specifically experienced in the entertainment industry will do a better job.
