We can all remember those days of Glamour Shots at the local mall. You look totally different that you do in real life. The chances are that you are more likely to need a headshot in real life, not a glamour shot. And there is a big difference between the two. A good headshot will look like you and will show off the best side of the real you. So here are a few helpful tips to help you look like yourself in a headshot.
Environment Matters
If you work inside and usually choose to spend your free time inside, do not head to the great outdoors for your headshot. Find an environment that looks like a place you would actually spend time.
Wardrobe Matters
Choose clothes that you like and you are comfortable in. This may seem like a no-brainer, but often we get caught up in trying to achieve a certain look and lose our own personal style. Now, if you spend most days in a tee-shirt and jeans, it might be smart to choose a different outfit for your headshot. But you do not have to wear a suit and a tie. Find a middle ground that feels comfortable, but conveys the look you need from your headshots. Recruit help from friends, family or even professionals if you need it.
Keep Your Headshots Fresh
Face it, you do not look like you did 10 years ago. You have probably cut your hair and lost or gained some weight! Headshots can go a long way in helping your website reflect you or in helping new customers get a sense of who you are.
