A good headshot starts before you step in front of the camera. A little preparation helps you arrive relaxed and leave with photographs that feel like you.
Start with how you will use the image
Think about where your headshot will appear: LinkedIn, your company website, an acting profile, or a personal brand. Bring a few examples of the mood you like, and explain what you want the portrait to communicate.
Bring clothing that fits and feels familiar
Choose clean, well-fitting pieces in colors you enjoy wearing. Solid colors keep attention on your expression. Bring an alternate top or jacket for variety, and check clothing for wrinkles, lint, and distracting logos.
Keep grooming comfortable
Style your hair and makeup in a way that feels like you. Bring a brush and any small touch-up items you normally use. Avoid trying a completely new look immediately before the session.
Let the photographer guide you
You do not need to arrive knowing how to pose. Small changes in posture, shoulder angle, and expression can create different options. Tell the photographer if you prefer a warm, approachable image or something more direct.
