What Makes The Best Creative Corporate Headshots

By Shirley Murray


Success in business depends on the image you portray outwards. The image in question here is that of executives behind your business. There are instances where creative corporate headshots are required for media appearance, production of brochures and use on websites, among other uses. Developing these shots and giving them a professional look requires consideration of several factors.

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.

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.

Trending style is likely to mess you up. You need to take a conservative tone instead of the traditionally flashy one. Trends have an expiry date. To maintain the trendy feel, you will be required to take new shots every two or three months. This will affect the feeling of consistency that is associated with successful brands. Without changing, you are regarded as outdated and might not get the business you are chasing.

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 body and mind need to be in sync. If you have to strike a good pose, you must be healthy. This means eating well and hydrating adequately to maintain a supple skin that is glowing. Check what other corporate organizations are doing with their headshots and improve your idea. The photographer should be experienced and creative enough to produce unique shots.
