Corporate headshots are professional portraits in which the subject is typically dressed in business attire and positioned against a neutral backdrop. Business headshots are most commonly used for LinkedIn profiles, press releases, newsletters, business cards, book jackets and company websites, though they have many other uses as well.
When it comes to business headshots and portraits, a skilled photographer can make all the difference in the world. They’ll be able to choose a good background, set up the lighting and make sure that the person in front of the camera is comfortable, looks good, and let’s their personality shine.
Business headshots provide more transparency into your company by showcasing all the people behind the brand. They are an important tool for displaying your professionalism and making a positive first impression on the customers who visit your website. They are also important for attracting potential investors, who will visit the “About Us” section on your website to learn about the company’s executives.
Corporate headshots are not only important for introducing executives – they also showcase your company’s values. If the “About Us” page on your website features selfies or poorly lit photos, it will make your business appear unprofessional. On the other hand, quality corporate headshots taken by a professional photographer will reinforce your company’s professional values.
Business headshots are also essential for job-seekers. Job recruiters often visit candidates’ LinkedIn profiles during the hiring process. If your profile is up-to-date with a high-quality professional headshot, you will leave a positive impression that might just score you an interview or an offer.
Studies have shown that people decide within 100 milliseconds of seeing someone’s face whether they can trust them. And with professional introductions being increasingly conducted online, your business headshot is one of the key factors in building trust with customers, investors or recruiters. You don’t have a lot of time to prove yourself in today’s fast-paced digital environment, but having a high-quality business headshot can set you apart from the masses.
An experienced Headshot photographer knows how to create a relaxing space and coach even the most reluctant subject and bring out their best look. The connection between photographer and subject is as important as the poses, angles and lighting.
