Headshot Styling Guide
General Guidelines
This guide will help you find the perfect look for your professional headshot, ensuring you make a great impression. We’ll break down the best headshot attire into four categories tailored to your industry: Casual, Business Casual, Smart Business, and Formal Business. Choose your style below for more details.
Feeling Fantastic Equals Looking Fantastic: Dress for Confidence
When you feel comfortable and empowered in your outfit, it shows in your headshot. Choose clothing that fits well and allows for easy movement. Avoid outfits that are too baggy or restrictive—if you’re constantly adjusting or fidgeting, it’s time to consider a different option. For an added touch of polish and confidence, consider having your favorite pieces tailored. This ensures you look and feel your best in every photo.
Selecting the Right Colors for Your Photo Session
Choose colors that enhance your skin tone and stand out against the background without blending in. Neutral tones are always a classic choice, but don’t hesitate to experiment with shades that reflect your personality. Avoid overly bright or saturated colors, as studio lighting can cause them to cast unwanted reflections on your face and neck.
Wrinkle-Free Wardrobe for Perfect Headshots
Wrinkles can ruin the look of a professional headshot! Make sure your clothing is neatly pressed and free of lint for a polished, clean appearance. Don’t worry—our studio has a steamer available for quick touch-ups if needed.
Intentional Accessorizing for Headshots
When it comes to accessories, less is more. Choose timeless jewelry that complements your outfit without taking attention away from your face. Avoid bold or trendy pieces, as they can quickly make your headshot look outdated.
