Section 2: What is a headshot?

A headshot is simply a portrait photograph that shows your face. Usually, it is a portrait that has a high level of detail. The good headshots are from different angles.I try to show something different from what the average person would expect.

Section 3: How do I choose a headshot photographer?

Find someone whose work you like.

What to look for in a photographer
Getting the right headshot will be a long-term investment, but the investment is well worth it in the long run. The profile shot and interview shots take some practice and can take a few tries before you get the right one. Many people that approach me are at the beginning of their headshot journey, unsure of what direction to take and worried about getting it wrong. I recommend working with someone that's experienced in the headshot business so they can guide you. Not all headshot photographers are created equal – you want to find a really talented, passionate person that truly loves the art.

When it comes to shooting an interesting person, one of the first things you'll need to think about is their height, the angle of their head and the distance from the camera.

Questions you should ask
The best London Headshot Photographer is often an out of the box thinker and has lots of tricks up his sleeve that you probably never even thought of. So once you have decided on a photographer, it is time to take a look at the work he or she has done.

While there are plenty of services out there where you can have your headshot taken for less than $50, the best photographer will always bring something unique and special to the table.

So when it comes to making your choice, you need to ask these questions.

Does the photographer know how to properly dress you up to look your best?

If you are one of those people who just throw on any old shirt or skirt and a pair of pants, your photograph will not be as impressive as it could have been.

60 square metre range in a private complex where the client has total privacy, anonymity and feels comfortably out of the 'norm'. It is a lot easier to capture candid photos of your clients in an ideal working environment than in the cramped surroundings of your own home studio or a studio set-up in a shopping centre.

The main lounge is where the client meetings take place, the tour of the 'Studio' and the end of each work day / start of the morning briefing.

Conclusion

Headshots are very important when you’re just starting out. They’re a perfect way of showing off what you have to offer, without being too flashy. They are an incredibly affordable and effective marketing tool, so you shouldn’t pass them up if you can.

1. Always ask for the perfect picture before the shoot. Don’t go in under the assumption that you’ll be given a great picture. If you want one that you love, you have to ask for one!

2. Don’t be scared to ask people for their opinions. If you ask people to show you their favourite headshots, they will. You might be surprised how many people will be willing to let you have a go at theirs!
