You’ll look your best
We understand that a headshot is an investment in your self-image. Therefore, we’re committed to making you look your best. Accordingly, all our work follows a process designed to let us capture the best version of the image you’re looking for. Moreover, it allows us to repeat any look in case you need matching images later. You can learn more about our process here.
Limitless headshot looks
Whether you need a standard professional headshot or a more dramatic or expressive headshot, we can help. You can mix and match lighting styles and background colors to create a wide range of looks. Moreover, we can match additional background colors in post-production. Together with styling and wardrobe options and the creative choices available in post-production, the possibilities are virtually limitless.
For example, you can choose a clean, all-business look with soft, even lighting, such as the “Standard” headshot described below. Alternatively, you could opt for a dramatic, masculine, glamorous, moody, playful look or a beauty shot. Just let us know what you’re looking for, and we’ll have everything in place when you arrive for your session.
The “Standard” headshot
“Standard” head and shoulders shots with even lighting on a white background are desirable because they offer excellent flexibility. First, they are appropriate for most uses. Second, a slightly wider crop can be used in more places. Third, They are simple to crop, silhouette, and composite. And finally, they are easy to use in print
and online media. Furthermore, this lighting style flatters most features and produces even skin tones. This flexibility means these shots may often be used for years, which makes them a good value overall. This style is a good option if you have only one headshot or use your headshot in several ways or for a long time.
Headshot Styling
Professional styling, including makeup, hair, and wardrobe, is optional but not required. So, you can use no stylist, work with your own, or let us know if you need help. Although most headshots don’t use props, sets, or locations, let us know if your shot will include any of these and how we can help.
Your photoshoot
We want you to be comfortable and at ease while having your picture taken. We will treat you with courtesy and respect during your session. Importantly, we work with you throughout your shoot to ensure the best results. For example, we help you discover your most flattering angles. In addition, we coach you on facial expressions and positioning to achieve your chosen look. Finally, we review selected images with you during the shoot.
Your perfect headshot
Once the shoot is complete, we’ll post your headshot photographs to a private online gallery. Here, you can select images for final retouching and provide us with specific instructions. Finally, we publish the retouched pictures for your review and final approval.
