How to nail your Headshot

Unlocking stunning personal branding photos boils down to one crucial factor: preparation. Here's your comprehensive guide to ensuring your headshots capture the essence of your brand effortlessly.

Dress for Your Role

Your attire should mirror your professional persona. If you rarely sport a suit, don't force it. Opt for outfits that reflect your typical workday attire.

Keep It Simple

Less is more when it comes to wardrobe choices. Let your personality shine by opting for classic, solid-colored garments that keep the focus on you.

Bring Variety

Pack a range of outfit options to experiment with during the shoot. Mix and match colors and layers to diversify your looks without overwhelming the frame.

Hair & Makeup

While professional grooming is optional, aim for a polished appearance that aligns with your everyday style. Keep makeup and hairstyling natural and camera-friendly.

Grooming Tips

Arrive with prepped hair and consider timing your haircut a few days before the session. Embrace your signature look, whether it's clean-cut or rugged, but ensure it's well-groomed.

Additional Pointers

  • Prioritize comfort when selecting attire.

  • Elevate your ensemble with tasteful accessories.

  • Avoid clothing with distracting logos or graphics.

  • Opt for well-fitted garments that accentuate your silhouette.

  • Iron your clothes beforehand for a polished finish.

  • Don't forget your glasses if you typically wear them – they're part of your identity!

  • Concerned about reflections? Modern lenses often feature anti-reflective coatings, but we've got tricks to minimize any glare.
