Choose the Right Photographer

Look for a professional headshot photographer who specialises in corporate headshots. Browse their portfolio to ensure their style matches what you aim for.

Select Appropriate Clothing

  • Choose professional attire that aligns with your identity.
  • Stick to solid colors or subtle patterns to keep the focus on your face.
  • Avoid clothing with logos or busy patterns as they can be distracting.

Grooming and Preparation

  • Schedule a haircut and grooming session a few days before your shoot.
  • For men, consider shaving or grooming facial hair for a clean look.
  • For women, opt for natural, professional makeup that enhances your features. Sometimes subtle makeup works best.

Decide on the Background

  • Choose a neutral background that complements your attire.
  • Consider an outdoor location if you want a fresh and approachable vibe.
  • Maybe you would prefer a environmental style workplace background.

Practice Posing

  • Stand up straight and maintain good posture.
  • Practice smiling naturally or using different expressions to find your best look.
  • Angle your body slightly to the side instead of facing the camera straight on.
  • The above are only pointers a great headshot photographer will get the best out of you with regards to posing and expression.

Coordinate with Your Team

If you’re scheduling a group photoshoot, coordinate with your team regarding attire and timing to ensure a cohesive look.

Arrive on Time

Punctuality is crucial. Arrive a few minutes early to relax and prepare for your photoshoot. This way you will get the most out of your headshot session.

Communicate with the Photographer

Share any specific ideas or requirements you have with the photographer before the shoot begins.
