Tips to avoid boring headshots:
-
Choose the Right Photographer: The skill and style of the photographer play a significant role in the outcome of your headshots. Research and select a photographer with a portfolio that aligns with the look and feel you want to achieve.
-
Discuss Your Vision: During your Styling Consultation I ask questions to nail down your your vision, goals, and the image you want to project with your brand new headshots. This is the time when you can share your ideas, inspirations, and any specific looks or styles you have in mind.
-
Wardrobe and Styling: We also discuss clothing and accessories that will convey your personality and professionalism and the overall mood you want to capture.
-
Posing and Expression: We'll experiment with different poses and expressions to ensure we capture your best look. We want these headshots to truly represent you. So, don't be afraid to engage with the camera, express confidence, and be yourself during the shoot!
-
Expert Lighting: Artificial lighting often has a bad rep, because of the traditional "Flashy" look. What if I told you, I have a better way to use lighting, to achieve a soft, but high quality light than natural light?
-
Background Selection: We have the option to use different backgrounds from the more traditional colors like grey or white to some interesting color choices that reflect your personality, accentuate your skin tone, or hair /eye color or match your brand colors. No matter what colors we go with, a simple, uncluttered backdrop can effectively direct the viewer's attention toward you.
-
Post-Processing: High quality retouching will elevate your headshots, while preserving your authentic appearance.
-
Props and Storytelling: Incorporating props related to your profession or interests can add depth and tell a story.
-
Use of Color: Color can play a significant role in the mood of your headshots. Consider how color choices in clothing, backgrounds, or lighting can convey specific emotions or characteristics.
-
Personality and Expression: Showcase your personality and convey your uniqueness through your expression and body language. Genuine smiles and expressions can make your headshots more engaging.
-
Photo Selection: After the photoshoot, we review the images together to select the best shots.
