Why a headshot? It’s time to put your best face on your online presence, whether that’s a professional one or a personal one. These studio sessions are a great way to get a photo you can use for LinkedIn. Remember that it’s a competitive job market out there, and investing in a good quality photo is an investment in your career!
While you’re checking your calendar for April 2, here’s a tip for you related to what to wear for your headshots: avoid black.
Sure, the “little black dress” is a wardrobe staple, but the truth is that black attire–and in the case of headshots, a black jacket or top–makes almost everyone look washed out in photos.
So, what can you do to look your best?
* Wear a sportcoat/suit/blazer/sweater/etc. that is not black. Excellent color choices for a professional look include navy, gray, deep purple. If you’re in a more creative field, jewel tones work well for most.
* Wear some color around your neck, such as a scarf or substantial jewelry.
* Wear a collared shirt styled so that you can wear the shirt collar above the jacket collar. This photo of Jo is a perfect example of this style.
