LeMay Photography, a trusted name in the industry, works with many firms and individuals who demand nothing but the best in high-quality headshots. Your headshot is more than just a photograph; it's your professional first impression captured in pixels.
1. Keep it Classic: Opt for timeless, solid colors like navy, gray, black, or white. These colors are flattering and won't distract from your face.
2. Dress Professionally: Even if your workplace is casual, dress slightly more formal than usual. A tailored blazer, a blouse, or a well-fitted dress conveys professionalism.
3. Avoid Loud Patterns: Busy patterns or large logos can detract from your face. Stick to subtle textures or small patterns if you must.
4. Flatter Your Face Shape: V-neck tops elongate the neck, while collared shirts can frame the face nicely.
5. Pay Attention to Fit: Clothes should fit well and be comfortable. Avoid anything too tight or loose, as they can affect your confidence and the overall quality of your headshot.
6. Grooming Matters: Grooming is not just a formality; it's a confidence booster. Ensure your hair is tidy and styled, and your makeup (if worn) is appropriate for a professional setting. Men should consider a fresh shave or a groomed beard. This attention to grooming will not only enhance the professionalism of your headshot but also make you feel confident and prepared.
7. Bring Options: Bring a few outfit choices if you need more time.
