What kind of headshot do you need??

BUT WHAT HEADSHOT STYLE DO YOU NEED?
Sure, you want the headshots to be personable- to show character, illustrate your uniqueness as a company and them as a person- but how is theis done??
These are valid issues to consider when thinking about your new profile images and discussions you should be having with the headshot photographer for sure.
On this site you can see many examples of different styles, this can certainly give you a flavour, so here are the considerations worth thinking about/
Where will the headshots be used, what will they be used for?
Do you need the headshots to hang together, like on a website so they look consistant and cohesive as a set?
What are you trying to say as a company?
How many people need their headshots?
In answers to the questions aboue you might want to consider the ‘dress code’ for the portraits.
Do you need a hair and make up stylist?
Do you need them in different cropped formats for varying uses. i.e closely cropped for Linkedin headshots (so you can see the person) and a bit more space if it were used in a publication.
Does the background need to relate to your website colours or background?
How many retouched final images do you want from the session (for each person)?
How soon do you need the work-is it a quick turn around?
Budget- How much do you want to pay? Sometimes particular styles can take longer and therefor cost more.
Going through the checklist above should help you decipher the look and feel of your company headshot styles. It certainly gives you the toolkit to have a discusson with a corporate photographer.
