5 CHARACTERISTICS OF A GREAT HEADSHOT
- 1. Clean and simple – The goal of a headshot is to show who you are in a professional manner. The best way to do this is to keep your headshots clean and simple, with nothing to distract from you.
- 2. Confidence and approachability – Visibly showing off your personality in your headshot
demonstrates self-confidence, which automatically leads others to feel confident in you as well. - 3. Smile with your teeth – and your eyes! This goes without saying, but real smiles radiate a genuine vibe that will attract your audience.
- 4. Personality over glamour – Make sure your headshots look like you. Do not overdo it with the makeup, hair, or clothing. Just be unapologetically you!
- 5. Conservative colors – By wearing conservative colors, the focus stays on you, your smile, and your personality.
