What to Wear for a Corporate Headshot
The hardest part of planning for your headshot session is deciding what to wear. Here are a few tips to help with that process. At Tara Flannery Photography, we will always help you every step of the way. You can even bring several options to your session and we will choose the best options together.
- Start with what you wear every day to work. This will differ among professions but will give you a great starting point. Headshots can be casual or formal depending on your profession and the message you want to convey.
- Pick out some shirts, ties, and tops that you know compliment your skin tone and look great on you!
- Opt for solid colors (jewel tones are great if they go with your skin tone) and stay away from patterns or prints.
- If you choose to wear a coat, make sure it fits well and isn’t too big or too small.
- Ladies, I do like a little bit of jewelry. Just make sure it doesn’t distract from the face.
Headshots for Alexis
Alexis needed updated headshots for business. I loved the combination of outfits that she brought for her session. In the first image, her dark grey jacket and purple button-down top are a great combination. The jacket blends well with the background in terms of tone. The purple shirt adds a little bit of femininity while still looking very professional. The combination is a great option for a business professional. In the second image, we switched to the blue-grey background and natural light setup. Her black dress with the blue jacket is perfect for this setup as well. The purpose of a headshot is to feature the face. When the clothing and backgound match in tone (light, medium, dark), the focus falls on the face. So, when planning your clothing for a corporate headshot session, think about your profession, your brand, and your style. Then bring options!
