What Makes Top Class Creative Corporate Headshots

By Shirley Murray


The image you portray for your business plays a huge role in its success. There comes a time when shots involving your executives are required. This could be for inclusion in press releases, websites or when making media appearances, among other instances. You need creative corporate headshots that can communicate intended message. Here are the ingredients of producing the best shots.

The images should help you maintain the corporate branding you have developed. This means the choice of colors and graphics that are consistent with the brand. People coming across your cards, website or brochure should associate them with the products you offer. Ensure that they give an official look that is also engaging.

Lighting delivers magic on photos. As much as possible, use natural lighting because it cannot be matched by any other form of light. However, professional lighting is still available to give you a similar effect as you would expect from natural lighting. Light has a way of rubbing quality on images. Use a studio or photographer who will effectively manage lighting to give you the best shots.

Work on the background to make it simple and functional. The background may capture the attention of readers and deny them a chance to take in the message you are trying to communicate. Choose images, colors and graphics that are relevant to both the industry and your business. It must blend well with your dressing, corporate color and industry themes.

Dress as if you are going for the first meeting with your most important client. Images have a way of attracting or repelling potential clients. Most visitors to your website or people who receive your brochure will be meeting you for the first time. They need to get the right image from this encounter. Too much makeup, funny haircuts and dressing will not work for the right first-impression.

Trending style is likely to mess you up. You need to take a conservative tone instead of the traditionally flashy one. Trends have an expiry date. To maintain the trendy feel, you will be required to take new shots every two or three months. This will affect the feeling of consistency that is associated with successful brands. Without changing, you are regarded as outdated and might not get the business you are chasing.

The pose must send a message of a corporate executive who is also inviting or welcoming. You need to appear relaxed and comfortable in your industry. Strike a pose that inspires confidence. A straight back with shoulders that are pulled backwards will work for you. If you appear stiff, potential clients will run away. Give the camera a natural smile and a personality that is as authentic as possible.

The body and mind need to be in sync. If you have to strike a good pose, you must be healthy. This means eating well and hydrating adequately to maintain a supple skin that is glowing. Check what other corporate organizations are doing with their headshots and improve your idea. The photographer should be experienced and creative enough to produce unique shots.
