Headshots aren’t just for executives and actors…
In this digital age, everyone should have a headshot to represent themselves online. This is generally where first impressions are made, so having a high quality, professional headshot can really make a difference in how you are perceived. It is recommended that you update your headshot every couple of years, or sooner if you make a major style change. Current headshots project personal investment, professionalism and authenticity.
Why you should hire a Professional Photographer
A professional photographer is trained to use light, shadows angles and posing to help make you look your best. They can also guide you on wardrobe selections and colors that will not only photograph well, but also flatter skin tones and body shape. During your session, a professional will be able to capture your true personality and showcase you in a way that is both industry and client appropriate. Finally, professional equipment and editing results in a high quality product that will look great online and in print.
Why type of headshots do you need?
Gwendolyn Z Photography specializes in portraits and can guide you in creating the perfect session. Here is a sampling of the type of headshot sessions I provide:
Columbus Headshots wardrobe advice!
Clients often express that choosing clothing is their biggest obstacle when having their pictures taken. When you choose Gwendolyn Z Photography for your headshots, you will receive personalized wardrobe and styling advice to ensure that we achieve the best look for your shoot. The main objective is to bring attention to your face and eyes. By referring to the chart below, you’ll see some color suggestions based on eye color. In general, jewel tones photograph very well and look good on most people: Sapphire, ruby, garnet, emerald, amethyst, and deep purple.
Also, make sure that your clothes fit well and aren’t too tight or too loose. You should feel comfortable because it will show in your expression. It’s also a good idea to make sure your clothes are cleaned and pressed so that your overall appearance looks polished. Jewelry and accessories should be simple, but keep in mind that layering clothing can add dimension and interest to your look.
Your headshots should make you feel amazing, confident and ready to conquer the world…or at least your next project!
What should I wear?
This all depends on what your headshots will be used for and the look you are trying to portray. Do you want something casual or do you require a professional look? Will your wardrobe need to coordinate with colors on a website or business card? These are all things to keep in mind when choosing your outfits. My sessions allow for multiple wardrobe changes so that you can achieve different looks for a variety of uses.
