When you are in the market for a fresh new business headshot to promote your website, product or service, there are three things to consider. First, the setting. Second, your appearance. Third, the usage. Let's take a look at these elements.
When considering a setting, you have three choices: a photographer's studio, your workplace, and on location.
Consider carefully which one would best suit both your personality and occupation. For example: If you work as an entertainer at children's parties, on location at a playground can be lots of fun, while providing vibrant color and amusing props. If you are a gardener, environmentalist or landscape artist, an outdoor setting surrounded by greenery will actively serve your purpose. If you work in a conservative occupation such as law or banking, the neutrality of a photographer's studio might be a better fit. If you work in a building profession or trade, on location at a work project can be both engaging and informative. Choosing your office as your setting will show relevant context with desk, phone, computer, etc.
Here are some tips: If you choose a park or playground, go at a relatively quiet time of day. There will be fewer distractions at two o'clock on a Monday than at 10AM on a Saturday. In the office, some natural clutter of a busy day is germane to a secondary picture destined to appear less prominently on a website or brochure. However, your primary image should be in more pristine surroundings. Keep the disorder to a minimum and show your office as an attractive place that a client would like to visit. If you go to the photographer's studio, ask about the color of the background. The color of choice is white or gray, as these are non-competitive with your clothing and promote a clean, crisp image. Typically, black, white or grey backdrops are readily available, but if want to use a distinctive company color or a hue in keeping with your website design, then it might have to be special ordered. Schedule accordingly.
