How To for Headshots
In a few simple steps, your friends will be singing your praises around the office water cooler. Does anyone still have a water cooler? Not since Covid. Either way, your new headshot will speak for itself! Here are a few how to’s for headshots:
- decide on a “look” for your headshots: formal studio, casual environmental, outdoors, etc.
- hair: be sure it has been cut/colored but not too recently (maybe a week out would be good)
- facial hair: it’s okay to have facial hair but be sure it’s trimmed and neat
- nails: ladies, sometimes nails will show in a headshot so be sure they are manicured (i.e. just no peeling paint or neon green polish unless that’s your vibe)
- makeup: ladies, I recommend a professional handle this part but feel free to tackle on your own, just do a little more than you would normally wear
- jewelry: I like jewelry but it shouldn’t detract from the face so no super big earrings or necklaces
- wardrobe: no sleeveless ladies please; make sure what you’re planning to wear is clean and pressed
- glasses: if you wear glasses all the time, I tend to like them in the headshot because it’s what you look like; bring a pair without lenses if you have them
