A good headshot looks effortless, but the best ones come from a little preparation and good direction on the day. You do not need experience in front of the camera. Here is how to look confident and natural, whether it is just you or your whole team.

What to wear

Choose solid, mid-tone colours that fit you well. Avoid busy patterns, large logos and anything too bright, which pulls attention away from your face.

Bring a couple of options, including a layer like a jacket or knit. We will help you choose on the day based on the look you are after.

Prep the night before

Get a good night of sleep and stay hydrated; both show in the skin and eyes. Sort hair and grooming as you would for an important meeting, and keep makeup at the level you are comfortable being seen in day to day.

How to look natural

The secret to a relaxed headshot is breathing and small movements, not holding a fixed smile. We direct you the whole time, with simple prompts and plenty of frames, so it feels easy even if you usually dislike being photographed.

Thinking of something real (a person, a recent win) brings a genuine expression to the eyes, which is what makes a portrait feel alive.

Photographing a whole team

For teams, consistency matters most: the same background, lighting and crop so every portrait matches on your website and LinkedIn. We shoot on location at your office or in a setup we bring, and keep the day moving so it barely interrupts work.

After the shoot

We select the strongest frames and retouch to a natural, premium finish, clean and polished, still unmistakably you.
