1. Consistent Background
For corporate team photos, placing all team members in front of a consistent background is crucial. This ensures a cohesive and professional look, enhancing the visual appeal when the photos are used on various platforms. Not only should you use the same background on all members of the team, but the background should be proper for the type of business you are involved in. This may be a plain colored backdrop or a part of your office space that fits your expertise
2. Authentic Expression
It is important to be your authentic self when it comes to your headshot portrait. A forced smile is noticeable and won’t properly portray who you are as a person. Instead, focus on expressing your genuine emotions. A natural smile, for instance, exudes warmth and approachability. A genuine smile often reflects your true personality, making you appear more relatable and trustworthy to potential employers, clients, or partners.
3. Proper Wardrobe & Accessories
Wearing well fitted clothing in your headshot portrait is key to looking your best self. Some fabrics and patterns may make you look washed out or heavier. To avoid this, we typically recommend you wear solid dark colors or subtle patterns in the colors black, gray, navy, or blue. Make sure your clothes are wrinkle free as this will allow you to look as put together as possible.
When it comes to accessories, small dainty jewelry and other accessories are advised. This will allow you to stand out and not be overcome with the extra accessories.
4. Flattering Posing
The way your body and head is turned can completely change how you look in a photo. Slouching in a photo does not exude confidence and only looks unprofessional. As a skilled photographer, I will properly pose you to look as confident and authentic as possible.
5. The Right Lighting
The appropriate lighting can significantly impact the success of a corporate headshot. Lighting has the power to create a professional, polished look that exudes confidence and trustworthiness. It can also help to flatter the subject's features, minimize flaws, and create a cohesive look and feel for the headshot.
