It should part of the identity that you've created for yourself, your business and your brand.

You are representing your brand values, you are the face of the business

If you choose to wear a suit make sure your jacket and shirt fit you well 

(too big or too small will show in the photos)

Professional Business Portraits

Clothes should be neatly pressed or even treat yourself to something new!

Long sleeved shirts/blouses are best, even for the head and shoulders shots.

Professional Business Portraits

Solid colours can work really well and most people look good in mid-tones (green, blue and brown) 

Note - white can "wash you out" and black can look like a solid mass (rather than slimming you down).

Wear colours than emphasise your eyes! ​ CEO Headshots Surrey

Blue/green/turquoise shirts/blouses or accents can help emphasise blue/green/hazel eyes

If you usually wear glasses, wear them in the shots.

If you switch between contacts and glasses have both styles taken.

Keeping things simple with a plain background, ensures that the focus is on you. Editorial Headshots

The primary focus for a professional business headshot should be the face;

more specifically the eyes, as they are the windows to your soul.

Tight crops or unusual angle can make your shot stand out from the crowd.

Media headshots

Do you photoshop the images?

Yes, I use photoshop. Digital files on professional cameras have an amazing amount of detail!!

 I use editing techniques to even out skin tone, remove spots, brighten eyes and occasionally reduce the appearance of wrinkles and laughter lines, (although these are part of your character, they make you - YOU) so I don't remove them completely.

I now offer two levels of editing standard and editorial - you can decide which style is right for you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When should I update my photos?

• ​If you have a drastic change of hairstyle or weight-loss or you have started wearing glasses
• If you have a team of employees with images on your website, then obviously you need to update them as and when people leave or join the team.
• If the clothing you are wearing in your shot looks dated.
