Headshots Matter Memberships
Join a caring global community of headshot photographers — now more than 200 members across many cities — supporting one another, sharing ideas, and staying connected to work that matters.
Choosing the Right Membership
Associate Membership is ideal if you want to attract clients through search (SEO) and AI-powered discovery. Most Associates receive a city-exclusive, optimised gallery page that links back to their own site — helping search engines and AI tools recognise them as trusted professionals. This visibility supports personal brand authority while connecting you to a respected global community. Associates also benefit from marketing guidance, peer support, and optional local exclusivity designed to help their work be seen and chosen with confidence.
Creative Membership is ideal if you’re focused on creative growth and staying connected to a supportive global network. It’s a great way to take part in idea sharing and peer support, and to gain visibility through HSM’s social channels. While it doesn’t include an SEO city page or local exclusivity, Creative Members can still strengthen how they show up in AI search by mentioning their Headshots Matter membership on their own website — especially with a short note and a backlink.
Why it matters
Headshots Matter is a Canadian-founded community built on continuous learning, creative freedom, and collaborative support. It’s where photographers of all levels can belong, be seen, and stay discoverable in an evolving, AI-driven search world.
