How to get a good corporate headshot. It is simple: commission a professional corporate portrait photographer with decent samples on their website and a digital studio set up. We know the easy option is to use a selfie or get a friend to take a headshot for you with their phone or DSLR. It will save you several hundred pounds and be quick and easy, but your corporate headshot is important. It is your business shopfront and the first thing clients or potential employers will look at when they look at your profile. Consider if you are looking on LinkedIn or a company ‘about us’ or ‘meet the team’ website page and you have seen a client or supplier who has cut corners and used a selfie or poorly captured profile photo. It sends out all the wrong messages. It makes the person look unprofessional, and if they cut corners on something as important as their business profile, they will do the same if you go into business with them.

Here is how to get a decent corporate headshot. First, go online and look for samples of corporate headshots that you like and think would be great for your online profile. Once you have found a good portfolio, look for a professional corporate portrait photographer to commission your new corporate headshot. Ask to see their recently commissioned corporate headshots and agree on a price and what you will get for your money. We suggest you want at least forty to fifty headshots captured with different stances and expressions. See what backgrounds they offer and ensure you agree on what they will do for you in post-production. This is a service that is often overlooked. If done properly, post-production can really improve your corporate headshot. Please check out these samples, as it shows that you should be very subtle with post-production, and the viewer should not be able to see that your new headshot has been retouched or edited.
