📸 How to Look Your Best in Headshots
Keep it simple and timeless
Avoid busy patterns or logos. Solid, neutral colors like navy, grey, beige, white, or black photograph best. Add one accent color such as burgundy or forest green if it suits you.
Choose flattering, well-fitted pieces
Wear clothes that fit comfortably and frame your face. A V-neck, crew, or button-up works well. Add a blazer or jacket for a polished layered look.
Think texture, not shine
Matte fabrics and simple accessories photograph beautifully. Avoid shiny materials or large jewelry that can distract from your face.
Match the message
For business looks, stay clean and professional. For lifestyle or creative portraits, add personality with soft textures or a hint of color.
Grooming and preparation
Steam or iron your clothes, check for lint, and keep nails neat. Bring two to three outfit options and I can also help you choose what works best with the lighting and background.
Hair and makeup
Keep makeup natural and skin matte to avoid shine. Lightly define eyes and lips, and keep hair smooth and away from your face. Bring a small brush, powder, and lip color for touch-ups.
Final tip
Rest well, stay hydrated, and come relaxed. Confidence and a genuine smile always look amazing on camera.
