The Ability to Lead: Alex Holt and the Confidence to Be Seen

The ability to lead isn’t just about what you say — it’s about how you show up.

When I photographed Alex Holt, he brought what every great leader carries: clarity, warmth, and a presence that says, “I know where the secret files are — and I’m the one to keep them safe.”

Seriously. Think Bond-level confidence with founder-level heart.

Alex trusted the process — and that made all the difference.

We crafted a look that was strong, engaging, and fun. Because that’s what happens when you create a scene that invites people to play — not pose.

📚 He also recently released a book called Out Pacers, which I highly recommend. His insights into leadership, marketing, and creating meaningful momentum are next level.

Why This Matters:

This headshot is a perfect example of what happens when trust meets creativity.

Alex now uses this image on LinkedIn, in press kits, and to promote his book — exactly how a modern leader should show up: confident, authentic, and ready to be seen.
