What to wear for your Headshot

Choosing Your Outfit
- Opt for Solid Colors: Solid colors photograph well and keep the focus on your face. Neutral tones like navy, gray, white, and black are timeless, while jewel tones such as emerald green, deep blue, or burgundy can add a touch of personality.
- Avoid Distracting Patterns: Busy prints or logos can take attention away from you. Simple and elegant clothing choices allow your expression and features to shine without unnecessary distractions.
- Classic vs. Trendy: Choose outfits that represent your industry and style but won’t look outdated in a year.
- Layers Work Well: Blazers, jackets, and sweaters add depth to your look. If you’re unsure, bring a few options so we can decide together what works best for your session.
- Fit Matters: Make sure your clothing fits well and is free of wrinkles. Tailored clothing enhances your silhouette and gives a polished, professional appearance.

Neutral & Classic Tones
Navy, gray, white, and black are universally flattering and convey professionalism. These shades work well for corporate and business settings.
Jewel Tones
- Deep blues, greens, burgundy, and purples can add a touch of personality while remaining elegant and refined. They are excellent choices for adding vibrancy without overpowering the image.
- Avoid Bright Neon & Distracting Pattern: Overly bright or patterned clothing can take attention away from your face. Stick to solid colors that complement your skin tone and eye color.
- Consider Your Industry : Corporate professionals often benefit from muted, classic colors, while creatives and entrepreneurs may opt for bolder choices to express their brand personality.
- Layering for Depth: Adding a blazer, jacket, or sweater can help create a well-structured and polished look. It also provides the flexibility to change up your style within the same session.
Grooming & Makeup
- Hair: Schedule a haircut at least a week before the session. This allows your hair to settle into a natural look while avoiding a just-cut appearance.
- Makeup: Keep it natural. Avoid heavy foundation or excessive shine. A light powder or blotting paper can help control shine during the shoot.
- Facial Hair: If you have facial hair, ensure it is well-groomed. Consider trimming or shaping it a day before to avoid irritation or redness.
- Skincare: Stay hydrated and follow a good skincare routine in the days leading up to the shoot. A good moisturizer can help your skin look fresh and healthy on the day of your session.
