OF THE PERFECT HEADSHOT
What does the perfect headshot consists of? Why is it important? Keep reading and you will find out!
We are all aware of the quick pace of our everyday lives. We make huge decision in a matter of seconds and are constantly receiving data. One of these ways is through a professional headshot.
5 Key Components to the Perfect Headshot:
- Start with Quality: You don’t want your business photo or profile picture to be anything less than quality. It is important to invest in yourself by getting a professional photographer to take your photo. They give the picture an amazing quality during their developing process.
- Show personality: We all are aware of the cookie-cutter poses that so many of us do, with the arms crossed, hand on chin, or the simple mugshot. Let’s take this moment to capture our personalities, infectious smiles and passion for our professions. Break out of the mundane and be you!
- Be conscious of colors & background: Certain colors are more photograph-friendly and make you more photogenic. Why does everyone want to go with black? It’s a safe color but very drab. Play with colors to make you pop and step out from the pack.
- Uniformity is a must: Make sure once you get a headshot that works to update your business cards, website or company website, blog and social media sites. It is okay to have one amazing photo on all of them, which aids in continuity.
- Be Original: This is an opportunity to let a picture be worth a 1,000 words! Use this opportunity to spark your clients interest by captivating them with a unique photo due to location, poses or attire. Of course keep things professional and presentable, but think outside the box.
