Does your team’s professional image reflect the quality of your work?

First impressions matter. Whether it’s a client, investor, or potential hire checking out your team online, their perception of your company starts before you even speak to them. And if your team’s profile pictures look mismatched, outdated, or like they were taken at a family barbecue, that perception takes a hit.

John Marcinuk, CEO of Elucient, knows this struggle all too well. His team works with high-profile executives, and a professional image isn’t optional… It's essential. But getting consistent, high-quality headshots for a remote team? That’s where things got tricky.

Let’s break down his journey to a better solution.

Meet John Marcinuk, CEO of Elucient

John leads Elucient, a trusted consultancy that helps C-suite executives and high-level decision-makers navigate complex business challenges with confidence. Elucient is known for its strategic expertise and professionalism, but as the team expanded across multiple cities, maintaining a consistent visual identity became increasingly difficult. With team members working from various locations and relying on different photographers, achieving a cohesive, professional look was becoming a challenge.

The headshot struggle:  High costs, low consistency, and a lot of headaches

John’s headshot problems in a nutshell 🚨

  • No consistency. Different photographers, different backgrounds, different styles—it didn’t reflect a unified, polished team.
  • The price tag? Way too high. A professional studio quoted him up to 10x what BetterPic cost. (especially in cities like New York)
  • Scheduling chaos. Coordinating headshots across a remote team felt impossible.

John considered hiring a local photographer, tried a few AI-based tools, but found that nothing struck the right balance of affordability, consistency, and quality.

John’s headshot confession 😆

When asked who needed a new headshot the most, John laughed and admitted:

“Me! I was still using an old, over-edited 2019 photo that barely looked like me anymore. It was definitely time for an upgrade!”
