Which Backdrops Work Best for Business Headshots?
We advise using neutral backgrounds in shades of white, gray, or black for more traditional businesses like law and finance. We can capture clear images that exude dependability and consistency using those hues. See our page on headshot backgrounds for a preview of each studio background option.
If you work in the arts, nonprofits, or technology and want your images to stand out, feel free to choose a colored studio backdrop or try an in-office or outdoor session. These images frequently have a little more character.
Senior executives, business owners, and thought leaders should most likely have many headshots that they may utilize on various platforms. Of course, in an ideal world, you would have a few outdoor pictures to your headshots from the studio.
How Do I Get Ready for Business Headshots?
There are three essential steps to taking proactive headshot preparation.
First, in the weeks leading up to your session, try to get as much sleep, exercise, and sunshine as possible. Your preparation will ensure that the images look as natural as possible, even though our editing team airbrushes your chosen photos before sending them to you.
Second, be sure to try on your preferred outfit for a short period a few days before your session. Ensure your clothing still fits you well and doesn't require dry cleaning.
Third, browse over some old pictures of yourself and decide which ones you like best. Then, show the photographer those images before you get to the studio so they can assist you in choosing a flattering angle.
What if I Don't Look Good in Photos or Detest Having My Picture Taken?
We have your back! Sadly, the majority of portrait photographers are guilty of making their clients feel uncomfortable. They pressure you into weird postures and need to figure out what their clients want from the session. Or else they hurriedly get you through the session.
Additionally, many photographers refuse to focus on a single genre, which leaves them, to be quite honest, lacking in expertise for any session.
