It\u2019s usually the all-important \u201cfirst-impression image\u201d for your prospective clients, employers, and business partners. Having a corporate headshot is the best way to ensure that you make a strong first impression when others see your resume, online profile, or portfolio website. It gives your audience a strong signal that you\u2019re a committed professional. It also allows you to present a cohesive brand image across all of your marketing and social media channels.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_94694\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94694\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-94694\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-94694\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Reza Malayeri<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You can use your corporate headshots in a number of ways, including for job applications, professional networking websites like LinkedIn, online social media profile pages, within proposals to clients, and even for networking with other creatives.<\/p>\n<h2>Hair and Makeup<\/h2>\n<p>Being deliberate about hair and makeup choices is critical for looking professional in corporate headshots. In order to capture a professional appearance that represents your client\u2019s brand image, you\u2019ll want to focus on a natural look that isn&#8217;t overly stylized and distracting. Corporate headshots should be a reflection of your client, their brand, industry, or corporate culture, so be sure to choose the appropriate hair and makeup that would be a good fit for the industry that your client operates in.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, your goal is to present your client in a professional manner, so avoid any flashy hair or makeup that would take away from the professional image that your client is trying to portray, and ensure that the headshots you take are appropriately styled for the industry that your client operates in.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Wear<\/h2>\n<p>What your client chooses to wear for their corporate headshots is a very important consideration for a professional and polished look. There are some basic guidelines for choosing the appropriate attire for corporate headshots; including choosing natural color tones, avoiding flashy looks, and ensuring that your attire is a good fit for your given industry, culture, and brand.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_94699\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94699\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-94699\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-10.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-10-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-94699\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Reza Malayeri<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Solid colors are less distracting, ideal for a professional look, and can be accessorized with pops of color to add a bit of flair. Neutral tones like white, black, grey, and navy are all classic colors that work well for a professional corporate headshot.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to communicate with your clients to understand their needs and requirements. Good communication will ensure that your clients are prepared, and ready to create professional corporate headshots that stand out. If you need additional guidance, you can always consider hiring a professional stylist to assist with getting the right look for your corporate headshots.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_94700\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94700\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-94700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-9.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-9-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-9-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-94700\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Reza Malayeri<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Gear for Corporate Headshots<\/h2>\n<p>Choosing the right gear for corporate headshot photography can take your images to the next level, and ultimately result in happy clients.<\/p>\n<h3>Camera and Lenses<\/h3>\n<p>I personally choose to shoot with the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/isoa1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Sony Alpha 1<\/a>. \u00a0You should use a professional full-frame mirrorless camera that offers high resolution and excellent ISO performance. Having 50 megapixels of resolution gives me the flexibility to crop and get the perfect composition in post, while the excellent ISO performance allows me to deliver clean images with minimal noise.<\/p>\n<p>The next choice that I usually make is to decide on which lens I\u2019m going to take to my shoot. I almost always have my standard zoom lens, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/iso2470gm.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sony FE 24-70mm f\/2.8 GM Lens<\/a>. This is an essential lens for corporate headshots, because it offers a super versatile focal range, a wide f2.8 aperture, and excellent autofocus. I\u2019ll usually pair it with a couple of prime lenses, like the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/iso8514gm.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sony FE 85mm f\/1.4 GM Lens<\/a>, or the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/iso13518gm.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sony FE 135mm F1.8 GM Lens<\/a>. These primes are the classic portrait focal lengths and offer excellent image quality.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_94697\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94697\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-94697\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-7.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-94697\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Reza Malayeri<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Accessories<\/h3>\n<p>The next gear item that I\u2019ll usually take is my <a class=\"trackEvent action\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/vgo3go265hcb.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-action=\"plpAnalyticsService\" data-prevent-default=\"false\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/vgo3go265hcb.html\" data-trackdata=\"listing page, title, vgo3go265hcb\">Vanguard VEO 3 GO 265HCB 26mm 5-Section CF Travel Tripod<\/a>. It\u2019s lightweight, sturdy, and allows me to have a consistent composition when shooting a series of corporate headshots. Shooting on a tripod also ensures that I capture sharp images, since I don\u2019t have to contend with any focal plane movements due to my hand moving or blurry images from slower shutter speeds.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to lighting corporate headshots, I\u2019m a big fan of combining power with size and portability. That\u2019s the main reason why the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/fplfx300ptk3.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flashpoint XPLOR300 Pro<\/a> is my main strobe of choice. It packs plenty of power, while being lightweight and easy to travel with.<\/p>\n<p>In order to create a 3-light setup with my main light, I\u2019ll usually add the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/fplfev200z.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flashpoint eVOLVE 200<\/a> as my fill light, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/fplfsmzl2so.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flashpoint Zoom Li-ion R2 TTL On-Camera Flash Speedlight<\/a> as my hair or kicker light.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_94698\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94698\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-94698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-6.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-94698\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Reza Malayeri<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I use Flashpoint Glow lighting modifiers for all of my corporate headshot photography. They\u2019re built with high quality materials, are lightweight, and, most importantly, easy to use. My main modifier is the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/glsbezads85.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glow EZ Lock Parabolic Softbox<\/a>\u00a0for my XPLOR 300 Pro.

This ensures that I have enough <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/what-is-depth-of-field\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">depth of field<\/a> to get my subject in focus, and that I maximize the optical performance of my lenses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shutter speed<\/strong>: I typically set my shutter speed to a minimum of 1\/250th of a second or higher. This is to ensure that I avoid any motion blur from my subject or camera moving during each shot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ISO<\/strong>: I usually keep my ISO at its lowest value so that I maximize the noise performance of my sensor, and ultimately create sharp and clean corporate headshots. If I do need to adjust my ISO, I will typically only move between the &#8220;low-base\u201d and \u201chigh-base\u201d native ISO values of my Sony A1. Using only \u201cbase-ISO\u2019 values on your camera will allow you to get the best possible images from your sensor.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_94695\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94695\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-94695\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-94695\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Reza Malayeri<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Location for Corporate Headshots<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Choosing the best location for corporate headshots depends on the final look that your client is trying to convey. The finished images that you capture should align with the branding, corporate culture, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/lifestyle-photography-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lifestyle<\/a> that your client intends to market themselves to.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the aesthetic that you\u2019re going for, you can shoot in a number of indoor and outdoor locations, including:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photography studios<\/strong>: These dedicated spaces offer a clean and organized location for capturing corporate headshots.

Be sure to make your client comfortable. Provide clear guidance on simple poses that aren\u2019t uncomfortable or feel overly staged. Having good communication and interaction with your client will result in images that are fun and have an authentic and natural feel.<\/p>\n<p>There are several classic poses that you can use for corporate headshots, depending on your subject\u2019s personality, brand, or industry. These are all pretty simple, so give each them a try and see which one works best for the aesthetic that your client is wanting to convey.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>slight angle pose<\/strong> is where your subject turns their body slightly away from the camera, yet still maintains eye-contact with the camera. This pose works well for a casual and friendly aesthetic.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>classic corporate headshot pose<\/strong> is as simple as it gets. Have your subject face the camera directly, and give a clean and simple look to the camera. This pose works well for a professional and approachable aesthetic.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>arms crossed pose<\/strong> is another classic corporate headshot pose. Having your subject cross their arms gives a sense of authority and confidence, and works well for images of senior executives and other positions of power. Try to balance this pose with the proper posture and friendliness, so your final image still conveys friendliness and approachability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tips for Taking Corporate Headshots<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are some useful tips and common pitfalls to avoid when taking compelling corporate headshots.<\/p>\n<h3>Use Soft Light<\/h3>\n<p>Shoot with soft lighting, and avoid harsh lighting whenever possible. Hard light and harsh shadows do not look good in professional corporate headshots, which is why I\u2019m always looking for open shade outdoors, or shooting with lights, softboxes, and modifiers in the studio. Try to avoid unflattering and harsh shadows by only shooting with soft and diffused lighting.<\/p>\n<h3>Playful Poses<\/h3>\n<p>Have fun with your posing, and ensure that your client doesn\u2019t look stiff and uncomfortable. Creating a natural looking corporate headshot is a combination of a number of factors, and helping your client to create natural and authentic poses is one of the most important factors.<\/p>\n<h3>Communicate Ahead of Time<\/h3>\n<p>Wardrobe, hair, and makeup can make all the difference between an average or a stellar looking corporate headshot. Be sure to communicate with your client in advance. Ensure they\u2019re prepared with the correct attire, hair, and makeup that will convey the look that their target audience will connect with.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_94701\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94701\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-94701\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-11.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-11-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Corporate-Headshots-RMalayeri-11-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-94701\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Reza Malayeri<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Eye Contact is Key<\/h3>\n<p>Avoid headshots where your subject is not looking at the camera. It\u2019s important to ensure that your client is making eye contact with your camera. This ultimately results in their audience connecting with them when they look at their headshot. Looking off into space is a quick way for your audience to disengage with your headshot and should be avoided when possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Remember Composition<\/h3>\n<p>Composition is key, and can help to enhance the overall look of your corporate headshots. Be mindful and deliberate when choosing the best composition for your images. Great compositions can help to lead an audience to important elements of an image, and create visually pleasing ratios and balance to your headshots that will make them more engaging.<\/p>\n<h3>Don&#8217;t Over-Edit<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t over-edit your headshots. The goal of a good corporate headshot is to look authentic, natural, and be a representation of your client and their brand. Maintaining a clean and modest approach to your post-processing will help to convey that sense of authenticity in your images.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Creating impactful and compelling corporate headshots is really not that difficult. It\u2019s all about following these simple steps, having the right gear, and making sure you have a good understanding of your client and the brand image that they\u2019re wanting to convey to their audience.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to have fun while creating amazing corporate headshots that your clients and partners will love.
