What Makes Creative Corporate Headshots To Work

By Shirley Murray


Image is important for any business. This time, the image is of executives working for your brand. You will sometimes need creative corporate headshots to send with your press releases, for use on the website or for use during interviews. The shots give your business the much needed human face. How can you ensure that they work for you? Here are excellent tips when developing or choosing the headshots to use.

Let it match your brand. The main aim of using the images is to promote your business. There are colors and graphics that are associated with both your business and industry. Ensure that these colors are creatively mixed into the shot. Though you need an official look, it must be appealing and send a message that you want to engage.

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.

The background must be simple. The background has a way of giving your images a perspective. You can choose an office setting that makes you look serious. You could also settle for apparatus or graphics that represent your business. The secret is to ensure that the background does not distract the recipient of the brochure or photo. Focus should be on the executive and the message he or she is communicating.

Dressing should match an occasion where you are meeting a new client. You have no idea where the images will go. There are clients who will be clicking on your website for the first time ever. They need to see a person who is ready for that impressive first appearance. This means having basic hair and makeup that match the expectations of the industry.

Trends will mess up your image. This translates into taking a conservative tone of avoiding the flashy dressing. Trends are easily swept out of the market. They also have a date on them such that you might have to change your image every several months. This denies your clients the opportunity to enjoy consistency. Because the trend has been overtaken by time, you are likely to feel that you are old school and therefore fail to give you business.

Your posture is important. Make it relaxed yet serious or official. The shots are to be used on a business platform. They must inspire confidence even to a stranger. Your back should remain straight with the shoulders being pulled slightly backwards. Loosen up to avoid appearing too stiff and unwelcoming. Give a natural smile that shows your authentic personality.

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.
