Tips for a Great Business Headshot & Portrait

Clothing: Dress for Success

Your clothing sets the tone for your headshot but shouldn’t steal the show. The focus should be on you—your face and your presence. Here’s how to strike the perfect balance:

• Do’s:
  • Dress to represent your personal and company brand.
  • For a formal portrait, wear what you would to impress your most important clients or colleagues.
  • For a casual vibe, opt for upscale yet relaxed attire, like a blazer or sweater over a button-down or blouse.
  • Men: Solid dark suit, pressed light shirt, dark tie.
  • Women: Solid suit with a light blouse—flattering from the waist up is key.
  • Choose darker shades like navy, dark gray, forest green, or deep teal. Not sure? Match the color of your eyes—it’s foolproof!
• Don’ts:
  • Avoid bold stripes, plaids, or patterns—they confuse the lens.
  • Steer clear of flesh-tone colors like beige, peach, or yellow.
  • Black can photograph flat, while light-gray suits lack depth.
  • No short sleeves, turtlenecks, or flashy jewelry. Simple is elegant.

Hair and Makeup for Women

• Apply makeup as you would for a formal evening out—camera-ready doesn’t have to mean overdone.
• If makeup isn’t your thing, consider a little touch-up for the session—it can make a world of difference.
• Bring essentials like a brush, comb, and hair product. Pro tip: Don’t wash your hair the night or morning before your shoot—it’ll hold style better.

Grooming for Men

• Shave early to let razor burn calm down or, for late-day sessions, consider a touch-up shave to avoid the dreaded five-o’clock shadow.
• Don’t get a haircut the day before—give it a few days to settle for a natural look.

Glasses

• Wear them if they’re part of your daily look. If possible, bring a spare frame without lenses to avoid reflections.

Smile or No Smile?

Your expression sets the tone for your photo:

• Think about your audience and the message you want to send.
• Smile naturally—imagine bumping into a friend on a sunny day.

Final Tip: Have Fun!

The most important accessory? Your confidence. Relax, enjoy the process, and let your personality shine through. You’re going to look fantastic!

Getting Ready for Your Headshot Session

So, you’ve booked your photographer, chosen your style, and picked the perfect location—now what? Preparation is key! Taking a little time to get ready will make your session stress-free and ensure your images turn out stunning. Let’s dive into the details (with a splash of wit).

Clothing: Dress to Impress Without the Stress

Your outfit reflects your personality and brand, so keep it simple yet impactful.

• Do’s:

  • Solid colors are your best friend—simple and timeless.
  • Patterns? Only if they’re subtle enough not to distract.
  • Choose well-fitted clothes that look sharp but keep you comfortable.
  • Darker tones (navy, teal, gray) are flattering and photograph beautifully.
  • Bring a few options for variety, and make sure everything is pressed—wrinkles aren’t a good look.
  • Add layers, like a blazer or sweater, for depth and texture.

• Don’ts:

  • Say no to turtlenecks—they crowd your face.
  • Avoid loud patterns, flashy jewelry, or shiny silk ties.
  • No short sleeves for headshots—you’ll thank me later.
  • Leave the wrinkles and lint behind (a lint roller is your secret weapon).

• Pro Tips for Men:

  • Match your tie tone to your suit and shirt for a cohesive look.
  • Skip white shirts if there’s no jacket—they wash out easily.
  • Unbutton a top button or two for a casual yet polished vibe.

• Pro Tips for Women:

  • Necklines change the way your face looks—bring options to see what works best.
  • Sleeveless? Only if you’re confident in drawing attention to your shoulders.
  • Accessories? Keep it minimal—your face is the star, not your necklace.

Hair and Makeup: Your Camera-Ready Secret Weapons

• Hair:

  • Start with your hair down, then switch to a ponytail for casual looks.
  • Bring a brush, product, and hairspray to tame any flyaways.
  • Skip washing your hair the morning of—it styles better with some natural oils.

• Makeup:

  • Begin with a natural look, then layer as the shoot progresses.
  • Bring touch-up tools: lip balm, moisturizer, and concealer.
  • Avoid matte makeup—it can make skin look dry under lights.

• Men:

  • Shave early to avoid razor burn, or touch up before a late session.
  • Don’t cut your hair the day before—give it a few days to settle.

Jewelry: Less Is More

• Keep it simple and understated.
• Avoid flashy or dated pieces—they’ll pull attention away from your face.
• Consider the appropriateness of facial piercings based on where the photo will be used.

The Day of the Shoot: Smile, Relax, and Have Fun

• Bring water, relax, and trust the photographer’s direction—even if it feels a little silly.
• Move slightly after each click—subtle shifts create more dynamic photos.
• Don’t force a smile! Think of a joyful moment or someone you love—it makes all the difference.
• Squint slightly to avoid the dreaded “deer-in-headlights” look—it adds confidence to your expression.

After the Shoot: Final Touches and Expectations

• Discuss your editing preferences upfront (e.g., blemish removal, scars, etc.).
• Keep in mind: heavy Photoshop requests may cost extra and take additional time.
• Be patient—photographers spend more time editing than shooting to ensure you look amazing.

Bonus Tip: Practice Makes Perfect

• Spend time in front of a mirror to find your best angles and expressions.
• Test different smiles—stoic or perky? Know what works for you.
• Remember, confidence shines brighter than any outfit or accessory.

Last but Not Least: Have Fun!

This session is all about showcasing you. Relax, enjoy the process, and let your personality shine through. Your perfect headshot is just a click away!
