Business Headshot Photography Styles

Business headshot photography styles: which is right for you & your business?

“A headshot is a photograph of an individual with the simple purpose of showing what they look like.”

As a London-based headshot photographer with over 10 years of experience, I know how important a professional headshot is in the world of business.

Employed or self-employed, your business headshot photo is often your first introduction to employers, colleagues & potential clients. It has become an essential component of a successful career. From CEO to the newcomer starting out in your first job.

It’s important that your headshot photo looks like you. A good headshot photo shows the viewer who you are. It offers a hint of your personality through your expression & your smile.

The style of your photo is key.

・Is it formal or casual?

・What about the background & location?

・Do you want something plain & simple or something creative?

Have a look at these different headshot photography styles & let me know which ones resonate with you.

A pop of colour or bold background to make your headshot stand out & match your brand.

Sitting down relaxes the body.

Using your work environment to tell a story in your headshot & illustrate what it is you do.
