Corporate Headshots & Portraits
For any business person or professional with a high profile career, the humble headshot or business portraits is a particularly significant part of one's public profile, and one that should instantly command attention.
On a page or web screen shared with others, especially, it is important to be among thos who look successful, it could mean the difference between receiving a phone call or being passed over. The same consideration goes for the image on an application for employment, all the words on you resume doesn't give any indication of your appearance and the image you will project for a potential employer, whether you opt for a half body portrait or a tightly cropped headshot, the image should demonstrate some degree of articulation, it must look friendly in an open shoulder pose, not look defensive or awkward, body language is incredibly important in business.
By looking straight towards the camera, you're making eye contact with the potential viewer and that could be your next employer or client, OK if you're the warden of a jail or a police crime squad investigator, by all means look tough and unapproachable, but for the rest of us we need to look friendly, attentive and someone the viewer would like to speak with, so tell them that with your business portrait, simple and humble it may be, but powerful and expressive is how it should come across.
Headshot portraiture is an amalgamation of science and art, only the most skilled photographers are adept at delivering top notch headshots, because it isn't about how well you're able to pose, it is all about how well the portrait artist is able to unpose, you, to loosen up the tense tightening of the shoulder muscle that just about everybody falls into, it's so easy to look uncomfortable in a business portrait we all have been there.
