What is the best corporate headshot background? Our clients regularly ask this question when they want a new corporate headshot. We always suggest the four options we can offer them. The first option is the most popular, and it is a white background captured at our 45 Beech St EC2Y 8AD studio or with our mobile studio set up in their London offices. White is the most common background seen on LinkedIn profiles and company ‘about us’ and ‘meet the team’ corporate websites. Many people want to appear professional, and as a white background is the most common, this is the natural background by default.
The next background option for your professional corporate headshot is a dark background captured as above. The dark background is far less common than the white background as it is more dramatic. Favoured by actors for their headshots, a dark background creates a contrast between the person and the dark background. So, if you want to stand out from the crowd, a dark background will get you noticed. When our clients ask for a dark background, we normally suggest a dark grey as a solid black, which can look too much and make the person look unfriendly and unapproachable.
Another background option is an office interior background. This will make you look like a good worker. Too busy to go to a photographer’s studio, you will be seen in your office with your sleeves rolled, taking care of business. If you commission this style of corporate headshot background, make sure the photographer sets the focus on you and then blurs the office background so that any mess is lost in the blur, but it is still an office interior background.
What is the best corporate headshot background? Our favourite is the London cityscape background. This shows you are a professional working in England’s capital, and you can even feature the office building you work in or have a view of The City behind you to create a unique corporate headshot background.
