Why Get Headshots?
Headshots are more than just a photo—they're your first impression in the digital world. Whether it's for your website, social media profiles, professional networking sites, or even business cards, a great headshot conveys professionalism, approachability, and confidence. It's your opportunity to make a lasting impact before someone even meets you in person.
Take take a moment to think about the message you want to convey and the image you want to project: Are you a confident, authoritative lawyer looking to convey strength and professionalism? Or are you a creative professional eager to show off your personality while maintaining a polished, approachable appearance? The right outfit can help tell your unique story and set the tone for how others perceive you.
By focusing on these tips, you’ll be able to capture the best version of yourself that feels natural, professional, and authentic.
Let’s work together to put your best face forward.
Universal advice to ensure your headshot is top-notch
Keep It Simple and Clean
- Opt for solid colors or subtle textures that don't distract from your face. Avoid busy patterns, logos, or anything too flashy.
Fit is Key
- Choose clothing that is well-fitted, neither too tight nor too loose. Clothing that fits properly will help you feel more confident and look more polished.
Avoid Shiny Fabrics
- Steer clear of fabrics that are too shiny, like satin or polyester, which can cause glare under lights and distract from your face.
Focus on Your Industry or Personality
- Your outfit should reflect your role or the impression you want to give. For instance, creatives may wear something more unique or colorful, while professionals might lean towards classic, polished attire.
Minimal Accessories
- Stick to simple, understated jewelry like small studs or delicate necklaces. Avoid flashy pieces that take attention away from your face.
Hair and Makeup
- Keep your hair neat and styled in a way that suits your personality and role. Use natural makeup that enhances your features without overpowering them.
No matter your industry or style, a strong headshot is key to creating a strong first impression in the digital world. Let's make sure you're ready to shine!
