Headshots are often the first impression someone gets of you, whether it's for a professional profile or a business website. Here’s everything you need to know about preparing for a headshot session!
What to Wear
Keep it Simple: Stick to solid, neutral colours that complement your skin tone. Avoid overly busy patterns or logos, as these can distract from your face.
Choose Flattering Cuts: Clothes that fit well and flatter your shape work best. A simple blouse or a blazer is always a classic choice.
Avoid Distractions: Keep accessories minimal—stud earrings or a simple necklace can add a personal touch, but avoid anything too flashy.
Textures & Layers: Light textures like cotton, wool, or silk add depth to the shot. A light jacket or cardigan can give your outfit some structure, but make sure it’s not too bulky.
How It Works
Relax and Be Yourself: Headshots are all about capturing your personality and professionalism. I’ll guide you through a series of relaxed poses, but it’s important to feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Posing Tips: Think of a headshot as a “conversation” between you and the camera. A slight tilt of your head, soft shoulders, and a natural smile will do wonders!
Background Matters: I'll choose a simple, non-distracting background that enhances the focus on you.
Whether you’re updating your LinkedIn profile or creating a personal brand, a well-shot headshot can speak volumes about your professionalism and confidence. Let’s make sure yours stands out!
