What Makes The Best Creative Corporate Headshots

By Shirley Murray


The image you portray for your business plays a huge role in its success. There comes a time when shots involving your executives are required. This could be for inclusion in press releases, websites or when making media appearances, among other instances. You need creative corporate headshots that can communicate intended message. Here are the ingredients of producing the best shots.

Match the shots with your corporate brand. The images are used to promote your brand or business. Once a person encounters the cards or brochures, he or she should feel the presence of your brand. It is in the choice of colors and graphics used. Give it an official look that is also engaging.

Play with lighting to give the best effect. The image will either be made or broken by lighting. Natural lighting has a magical effect on imaging. It should be used as much as possible because it eliminates the possibility of forming shadows. However, where artificial light has to be used, its management must be professional. The image portrayed will depend on how well you master the use of light.

Work on the background to make it simple and functional. The background may capture the attention of readers and deny them a chance to take in the message you are trying to communicate. Choose images, colors and graphics that are relevant to both the industry and your business. It must blend well with your dressing, corporate color and industry themes.

Imagine that you are meeting a new client and dress for it. The reality is that images travel far and wide. They are downloaded and will be the first encounter a stranger is having with your business. Make this first encounter impressive. Choose basic hair cut or a style that is not intimidating. Avoid a lot of makeup and adhere to the standards that are set in the industry.

Keep away from trends. Yes! The invitation is to be conservative. You can only break this rule if you wish to be changing the images often to match with the trend. This may work against your business since clients are interested in consistency. Trends have a way of assigning dates to images. People opening your website or receiving your brochure will feel as though you are outdated if the trend has been overtaken.

The pose must send a message of a corporate executive who is also inviting or welcoming. You need to appear relaxed and comfortable in your industry. Strike a pose that inspires confidence. A straight back with shoulders that are pulled backwards will work for you. If you appear stiff, potential clients will run away. Give the camera a natural smile and a personality that is as authentic as possible.

The state of your body and mind will reflect in the photo. Eat healthy and hydrate to give your skin a supple natural feel. You become dull if you have psychological and emotional issues that are visible on the surface. Compare what other brands and peers in your industry are doing. Work with an experienced professional who will help you produce unique shots.
