Your professional headshot is a vital part of your business profile, and deciding what to wear for your portrait session is an important consideration. If you choose to have your business headshot taken outdoors in an urban area you’ll want to choose an outfit that matches the cosmopolitan location. Before I meet my clients for their business headshots, we discuss the overall vision for the final portrait, and how to optimize the results. Here are some style tips for your upcoming urban headshot portfolio photoshoot for an urban “city street” look that looks sharp and professional:
DRESS FOR YOUR BUSINESS
Always sharp and always in fashion, the classic black jacket never goes out of style for business workers. But if you don’t wear a suit or formal attire to work, don’t feel like you have to! Add colour if black doesn’t reflect your style. Or go business casual, if that’s what your personal and work style is. Wear what best defines you!
MODERN ACCESSORIES
Silver and gold long necklaces help modernize a suit jacket. You can also add a splash of colour, with enamel accents or gemstones. For gentlemen, a matching tie adds a touch of class.
HAIR AND MAKE UP STYLING
You want to look cosmopolitan and contemporary, with flawless make up and portrait ready hair. Let a professional style you for an updated look.
THE RIGHT LOCATION
We want to have the bustle of the streets without the ugly distractions. This means choosing a spot without obvious signs, billboards, trademarked logos, street lamps, bicycle ramps or delivery trucks blocking the streets. A city sidewalk with buildings as a backdrop to block the light around us and make open shade is the ideal spot.
CONFIDENCE
You’re a busy professional, on the move, well connected in your area with a brilliant portfolio! Show that in your photos by bringing your belief in yourself, your accomplishments and your killer smile.
If you need a professional business headshot for your website, LinkedIn profile or business page and have the flexibility to go outdoors and use natural light, I provide on location portraits for your business in the Woodlands, Conroe and Spring area for $150 + tx. You receive your images as an immediate digital download, with commercial release.
