WHAT ARE PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS?

A professional headshot is a portrait photograph that is focused on your face and is typically used for professional purposes, such as on websites, in press releases, and on social media profiles. These types of photographs are often used by individuals in a variety of industries, including academics, writers, non-profits, scientists, and physicians, and more. The purpose of a professional headshot is to present a trustworthy and competent image to the outside world.

BENEFITS OF PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS

Your professional headshot is your introduction to colleagues, clients, and employers, often making your first impression for you.

  • Enhance Your Image: A polished headshot conveys that you take your career seriously, inspiring trust and respect.

WHAT TO WEAR FOR PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS

For professional headshots, your attire should project confidence and competence, tailored to the expectations of your industry and role.


  1. Stick to industry norms: For traditional fields, choose formal business attire; for creative industries, a smart-casual approach works well.

  2. Choose solid, camera-friendly colors: Blues, blacks, and neutrals are timeless, while avoiding overly bright or neon tones.

  3. Opt for tailored clothing: Well-fitted clothes photograph better and enhance your polished appearance.

  4. Minimize distractions: Accessories should be simple, and clothing should lack bold patterns or visible logos.

  5. Grooming is essential: Neatly pressed clothing and tidy hair are key to creating a professional, camera-ready look.
