LeMay Photo makes headshots or business portraits almost daily in our West Little Rock studio or at prominent places of business around the Central Arkansas area.
Whether you're updating your LinkedIn profile, launching a personal brand, or want a polished image for professional use, a headshot session is essential. Here's a comprehensive guide to ensure you get the best results:
Choose the Right Photographer: Look for professionals experienced in headshot photography. Check portfolios to see if their style aligns with your vision.
Discuss Your Vision: Communicate your goals and how you intend to use the headshots. Clarity helps the photographer tailor the session, whether for corporate, creative, or personal branding.
Location and Attire: Decide whether you prefer an indoor studio, outdoor setting, or a specific backdrop. Choose clothing that reflects your professional image and avoids distracting patterns or logos.
Posing and Expression: Relax! The photographer will guide you through poses and expressions that convey confidence and approachability. Experiment with different angles and smiles.
Lighting and Composition: Lighting can make or break a headshot. Trust your photographer's natural or studio lighting expertise to highlight your best features.
Review and Select: After the session, review the proofs with the photographer. Choose the images that best represent your professional persona and meet your objectives.
Editing and Final Touches: Professional editing subtly enhances your headshots. Ensure the final images align with your branding and are ready for digital and print use.
