A good business headshot helps you communicate quickly who you are.

If you’re contemplating updating your Corporate profile, here are some tips on what to wear for a business headshot.....

Take a few minutes to think about the tone you want to project in your business headshots or Corporate Portrait. Depending on the culture of your Company, you may want to come across as 'hip, friendly or creative'. Or if you work in professional services, you may prefer to project an air of formality, knowledge and trustworthiness. The location of the photo shoot (in a studio or on location) and background colour will also have a bearing on your best camera-ready outfit.

Remember the focus for the business headshot is your FACE. Everything – the background, lighting and clothing – should be kept simple to frame your face.

Plain colours are your best choice, but depending on you complexion wearing tops in flesh tones (cream, beige, peach or yellow) can blend your face into your clothes.

Patterns or prints distract and can date your photo. Choose mid-tone colours in blue, green, wine and purple because they are universally flattering. Unless you’re feeling super confident, pass on bright red or orange! Richer neutrals like chocolate, navy, maroon, purple and forest green are a good substitute for black. Black is sombre, safe and guarded, and may not likely be the vibe you want to project. A fail-safe tip is to pick a top that accentuates your eyes.

A modest v-neck is universally flattering because it lengthens the neck and displays the décolletage. Choose blouses or shirts with sleeves. Fine to medium gauge knits work really well to, because they introduce textural interest. If you choose to wear a jacket, you can pair it with a collared or collarless top. This is modern and keeps the neckline simple and sleek but remember always have your shirt or top ironed and hung on a hanger ready for your shoot. There is no button in photoshop to remove creases.

In keeping with the KISS principle, the ladies should choose simple earrings and necklaces. That keep the focus on the face. Big statement jewellery can date your photos.

Hair and makeup is not included in the session fee. Most of the time men can get by without using professional hair and makeup, but we recommend a powder to help even out skin tones and to keep the face from looking shiny. We supply this at our studio at no additional charge.
For women we recommend professional makeup and hair styling. A professional makeup and hair artist knows how to make you look your best for the camera.
For an additional charge we can facilitate the booking of some of Brisbane's best makeup artist, we work with these girls all the time and love what they can do!
Our studio is open for you to have your Hair and Makeup done before your session, just make sure you let us know if a Makeup artist is required when you book your Photography Session.

Straight out of the camera your images will be pretty much ready to go. We use the right lighting and posing techniques to make you look your best. Before we deliver your proof images to you we sort through and edit them down to the best ones, color-correct and crop them, before loading them up to your private web gallery.
Your ordered images are then retouched to our standard specifications which includes removal of blemishes, brightening eyes, removal of stray hairs, reduction of age lines and whitening of teeth.

Additional retouching incurs an fee of $110.00 per hour charged in 15minute increments.

The key at the end of the day is to enhance the image without making you look fake.

Composite images are photographs made up of multiple images that are composited together to make one image. We use this technique frequently for large sales teams as it eliminates the need to coordinating everyone's schedules and the added advantage of being able to add or subtract individuals from the group shot making updates extremely efficient.

Composite's are also used regularly when a different background is required.

See images below for examples of composite images.

For most headshot sessions our turnaround time is two business days to receive your proof gallery of images. Once you make your retouching selections it is typically another 48hrs before your final, edited images are delivered to you. If you have an urgent deadline and need something even faster, be sure to let us know when you book. (A rush fee may apply).
