Professional Standing Portrait Pros and Cons:
/ / / / /
Sometimes we suggest midway through your headshots to loosen up the crop and have our photographer backup to capture you from further away. The benefits of a 3/4 shot is that the focal point, your face, is literally less in your face, so the shot feels breathable. The downside is that there are more aspects to consider to nail the image such as wardrobe styling and posing.
In this case we see an example of how in looser shots it’s beneficial to have some prop or accent in jewelry / a watch. The reason being is the balance of elements needs to be adjusted if more is in the frame, and the accessories add a bit of complexity to an otherwise minimalistic colour blocked outfit.
