Creative Headshots To Bring The Fun To Business!

Creative headshots are the key to bringing out your personality and capturing the attention of your potential clients from their first look. We only have a few seconds to make an impression on somebody. In today’s digital world, that first impression is generally made online, way before meeting face to face.

How can you show your personality in headshots?

It’s all about the planning before your shoot. There are a number of things you can do to plan for your creative headshots. Here are three tips to help you get creative and inspired!

Location

Gone are the days of having to stand and smile in front of a white background. You can choose a location to suit you, your personality and your brand/ business. There are many fantastic options- outdoors in nature, a city backdrop, colour/ industrial backdrops to your shoot. You also have studio options that offer a mix of backdrops with no worry of bad weather!

Outfits

What you wear will have a big impact on the ‘feel’ of your photos. The clothes you choose need to match your personality and brand and will tell a story of who you are. It is important your clothes compliment the location and backdrop to your images. The location and outfit will immediately start to tell a story about you, so it is important it is saying the right thing!

Posing

How you show up in the images will give a big impression of your personality. Photos can show so many things and we make an impression quickly based on what we see. Fun, friendly, confident, down to earth are just a few judgements we may make on seeing a headshot of an individual.

Posing does not have to be stiff and staged. If you are relaxed and having fun in your shoot, your personality and natural posing will come out and be captured in the images. Choose a photographer that you feel comfortable with and you will be much more at ease in your photoshoot which will shine through in your creative headshots.
