What is a headshot?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Nowadays, your profile images speak on your behalf, from your social media and LinkedIn profile to your personal life. These days, we all need a little<\/span> personal branding<\/span><\/a>. Lots of people choose to ditch their old standby selfies in favor of investing in a session with a professional headshot photographer. \ud83d\udcf8<\/span><\/p>\n

Typically, a headshot is a high-quality close-up focusing on a person\u2019s face. The industry standard for business headshots is a studio photograph with a plain backdrop, always giving off that executive, marketing-material feel. \ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udcbc\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83d\udcbc<\/span><\/p>\n

It sounds a bit old-fashioned, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

Luckily, at Flytographer, we\u2019re not about being standard in any way, shape, or form. So, forget all stiff and boring rules about headshot photography and let your personality and creativity shine with a<\/span> modern headshot<\/span><\/a> session. There are so many fun types of headshots such as those for<\/span> real estate<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> entrepreneurship<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> graduation portraits<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> online dating<\/span><\/a> and so much more.<\/span><\/p>\n

They say it\u2019s the first photograph of a person that lasts. Still, it\u2019s not all about the way you look. You also have a backstory, a personality, and an attitude that shapes you. So here are six headshot tips for you to make use of all your traits and tell the world who you are! \ud83c\udf89<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

1. Understand your personal brand first<\/b><\/h2>\n

Did you know that it takes<\/span> a fraction of a second<\/span> for people to decide if they trust you or not? If you\u2019re starting your career or venturing to new opportunities, use this split-second assessment to your benefit and make the best impression possible. A good headshot is like your business card and is of utmost importance for your career.<\/span><\/p>\n

In business, as in life, if someone is interested in working with you, they\u2019ll most likely look you up online. That means that your headshot is their impression of you. It\u2019s your first chance to build trust and relationships. A good picture should depict who you are and give your audience a good grasp of what you can bring to them professionally. <\/span><\/p>\n

By the looks of it, remote work is here to stay. More and more professionals will either work from home or take a hybrid approach from now on. That means that online tools such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams will continue to be part of our work routines. <\/span><\/p>\n

But remember, no one likes to chat with a blank avatar. It feels like talking to a ghost! \ud83d\udc7b If there\u2019s space for a profile picture there, why not add one? It only takes a few seconds, and it\u2019s yet another chance for you to stand out from your peers or competition. <\/span><\/p>\n

And \u2026 it\u2019s not all digital, folks! A clear headshot helps potential clients to recognize you in the real world when you come across each other at networking events or conferences. \ud83e\udd1d<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Make it personal<\/b><\/h2>\n

When it comes to new headshots, the X factor is your personality! Think about it, what better ways to stand out in the crowd than highlighting whatever makes you unique?<\/span><\/p>\n

It helps to think of it from an outsider\u2019s perspective. What do your best friends say about you? Are you more of a romantic type or an adventurer? What about your co-workers? Would they define you as an avid risk-taker or more of a creative soul? \ud83c\udfad<\/span><\/p>\n

Take all this into consideration when brainstorming ideas for your headshot session. Stick to one or two traits, and you\u2019re good to go.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

3. Plan your outfit(s)<\/b><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve all heard things like \u201cdress to impress\u201d or \u201cdress like a boss.\u201d That just doesn\u2019t sound right, does it? <\/span><\/p>\n

Before everything, we think that what you wear should introduce yourself, not someone else. Your headshot session is an excellent opportunity for you to make an honest personal statement through your clothes. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can select pieces and accessories to highlight strategic aspects of your personality. For instance, if you\u2019re a painter, why not show up in your messy painting clothes? \ud83c\udfa8 Or perhaps you are in the fashion industry and want people to know how stylish you are by wearing the latest trend. <\/span><\/p>\n

If this is a corporate headshot, a polished and classic look works well for most industries. It\u2019s a style that fits both work and social life perfectly.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also a good idea to pick more than one look. This gives you a wider variety of photos for your social media channels and more options when selecting that one professional headshot to boost your career.<\/span><\/p>\n

But remember: What you wear also influences how you feel. Make sure to choose something you feel confident in that brings out your best natural self. \ud83d\ude0e<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

4. Use props to tell your story<\/b><\/h2>\n

Have you ever thought of using props? In a modern headshot session, they can tell a story about you, or send a particular message to your audience.<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, an open laptop can show you\u2019re flexible to move around, the classic coffee mug implies that you\u2019re available for friendly conversations, and the right pair of glasses can undoubtedly make you look more trustworthy. <\/span><\/p>\n

But be careful: Some props can send wrong messages, especially if it\u2019s a professional photo shoot. A glass of wine, for instance, shows sophistication on social media. But it isn\u2019t ideal for a professional portrait unless you\u2019re in the wine business. Sunglasses are fine for a mysterious look on your Instagram feed. \ud83d\udd76 But they\u2019re a no-go for professional photographs and dating app profile photos alike. For those, it\u2019s all about that eye contact. \ud83d\udc41\ud83d\udc41<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

4. Pick an intentional background <\/b><\/h2>\n

Commercial headshots are usually taken outside in natural light or in a location that relates to your personality or business. They tend to have wider angles, revealing a lot of the context in the background. Whether you\u2019re in a quiet interior or in the middle of a bustling city, the environment you choose for your headshot photo is most definitely meaningful.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re the outdoorsy type, you may want to take your headshot in a park, or somewhere you can also feature nature and greenery in the shoot. This works well for professionals who work with nature, such as botanists, landscape architects, or organic farmers. \ud83c\udf3f<\/span><\/p>\n

As an established executive taking a new photo for business purposes, you may opt to shoot your professional headshot in a sleek-looking office or overlooking a stunning city view. <\/span><\/p>\n

Or perhaps you\u2019re more of a bohemian, artsy type. You can choose a cozy interior from a caf\u00e9 or lounge. If you\u2019re into the performing arts, a theatre stage can also be an idea. Or why not simply stand by your favourite artwork?<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe you\u2019re a digital nomad who does their remote work from across the globe, typing on your laptop from beautiful and exotic locales. \ud83c\udfdd If you\u2019re adventuring around the globe, why not use the inspiring locations you visit as backgrounds to make for a stunningly great headshot? <\/span><\/p>\n

Luckily, Flytographer connects you with photographers in 350 destinations around the world, so we\u2019ll meet up with you wherever you are. Here are some ideas for inspiring destination shoots in<\/span> Cabo<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> Bali<\/span><\/a>, and<\/span> Dubrovnik<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no rule of thumb, people! As long as the place inspires you or reflects your biz, it\u2019s perfectly suitable.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

6. Practice posing in the mirror<\/b><\/h2>\n

No one\u2019s better than a headshot photographer to guide you on the practicalities of where to look, what to do with your hands, and, quite literally, how to put your best foot forward during your headshot session. But you can brainstorm ahead of time. Your headshot is a powerful nonverbal form of communication, which means that you\u2019ll talk through your facial expressions, eye contact, and body language. <\/span><\/p>\n

The magic of a headshot is that you can loosen up and try different things. It\u2019s often more like a portrait, and it can even be from your waist up or full-body. You don\u2019t have to stand up straight or sit on a chair, although you can. Here\u2019s an idea: Make it more dynamic by walking towards the camera confidently. You can also gaze at the camera over your shoulder as you walk past it. Classic poses also work, like sitting on the steps looking fabulous or leaning against a parapet.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have the freedom, you can be silly and do something unconventional, like making a face, laughing with your eyes closed, screaming out loud, and even dancing. Sometimes a funny look replaces a perfect smile. \ud83d\ude1c<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been telling everyone about Elisenda and Flytographer hours after the session ended! By far the best experience I\u2019ve had for a fun photo shoot. She was warm, personable, Uber creative and made me feel like I was on my own private tour guide of Washington D.C. It truly helps when you have top talent and a city buff present with you in a new place. Not to mention everyone who has seen my photos has been RAVING! They keep telling me I look like I was featured in a magazine. Can\u2019t thank Elisenda enough. It was the best time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWow! Once again, our Flytographer experience somehow overdelivered! We were so excited when travel finally opened back up and booked a trip to London. While there, our daughter took her graduation photos with Jimmy. This was our second time taking pictures with Jimmy and he continues to be the best! Even though it was a cold morning, we had a great photo shoot. The entire experience was a blast and the photos turned out absolutely wonderful. Thanks Jimmy, and Flytographer, for continuing to make these experiences possible! Could not recommend Jimmy or Flytographer more!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with Hayley was amazing! She saw my vision and helped me tell my story through her photographic eye. She helped me to feel comfortable through the session as I am normally very shy and needs lots of guidance. my poses. She is kind and patient and easy to communicate with and I absolutely love my photos!\u201d<\/p>\n
