Linkedin and Corporate Business Professional Headshots

Should you wear glasses for your business headshot?

/ / / / /

The simple answer is why not! With any of our packages, we encourage everyone to make some quick variations, time allowing. All of these changes are so minor we don’t count them as full outfit changes, however they are not minor in the sense of how they can alter the impression of your photo greatly.

Some of the small changes you can make without counting as a full outfit change include:

-removing your jacket
-removing your tie
-glasses on and off
-inclusive of props

How to dress for your casual business portrait:

Most of our packages come with more than 1 photo, which means you have the opportunity to get a bit strategic and allow yourself a variety of final images. There are a couple poses to do to make your business portrait appear less formal, but when it comes to classic headshots, there’s not much you can do with out the hands in the picture, thus your clothing choice becomes your main tactic.

Choosing garments with a slightly unique shape is the approach Corinne took to liven up her photo. In our experience, simple silhouettes and simple colours/design work better than patterns or busy layers. The goal is to draw viewers to your face first and foremost, and the rest of the image should be non distracting and act as secondary information.

Corporate and Linkedin Headshots on a Grey Background:

/ / / / / for a classic twist !

If you don’t want your headshot to be ever mistaken for a passport or stock photo, a solid 2nd option is using a nice and easy neutral grey. It tends to look best on fair or dark skin tones as opposed to medium shades as it is itself a medium shade. A great way to dissect this image is to pay attention to the darkness of the suit, the lightness of his shirt, and the medium toned wash of everything else.

Linkedin Business Headshots Background Examples:

/ / / / / your choice affects the mood

Don’t be afraid to explore outside the box and pick a background option that’s not black or white, or even grey for that matter. The great thing about photography nowadays is the magic of photoshop is not only useful for removing your acne and double chins, but also for giving the background a bit of a facelift.

Here you can see the difference between our standard blue background and a masked, desaturated tweak of that same background. Although we are not able to change the colour completely, subtle changes to saturation and hue can be made while still making the image appear natural.

Headshots for Professional Children Portrait Photography

Sister Portrait Editorial Photoshoot Style:

/ / / / / decorative details to enhance your family portrait!

Although many people are arranging their photoshoot for the first time and may not have a clear idea of what they’re going for, we highly encourage everyone to take the time and not skip the initial step of previsualization. These two adorable sisters had their moms planned out the dresses and background based on pointers boards they had collected of inspiration.

After sending us the reference images, it was easy to tell the direction they wanted to take the photoshoot in. When it comes to your big moment, we encourage you to keep communicating with us along the way. In this case, we learned that the mom wanted more of a fashion/magazine editorial feeling to the shoot. Once we found that out, we changed the direction of the posing and altered the lighting to suit her vision. How do you guys like the result? Rather angelic no?

The best colour to wear for your Linkedin headshots:

/ / / / / gender neutral, and positively friendly—blue!

As the morning people we are, we had the pleasure of waking up for a 9am business headshot the other day. Now I have talked about colour psychology in regards to tinted backgrounds in a previous post, but this time we’re extending the conversation even further.

So just how much blue is too much blue to wear? I’m not going to lie and say you can never have too much blue. About where we draw the line is the tie. You must bring in an element of a warm tone (even if it’s a cool-toned-warm-tone like Richard’s magenta tie in the above example). Warm and cool tones is a dichotomy that should be reflected in the clothing in order to achieve a visually balanced clothing temperature.
