If you’re considering getting some new corporate headshots for your company, you may be wondering — what makes a perfect headshot? As far as we’re concerned, great headshots don’t need to be hard. In fact, the recipe for a great shot is pretty simple. Here are three elements that every good headshot should have.

Rules for the Perfect Headshot

Personality

Every great headshot should have buckets of personality. The image should show off the person’s unique qualities. By looking at the image, you should get a sense of who the person really is. Do their eyes reveal a laughing, friendly personality? Or does their expression give a hint of their determined, alpha qualities?

Uniqueness

A good headshot should be unique. Try not to follow a cookie-cutter formula with your subject standing in front of a background smiling at the camera. Think of clever ways you can keep the image clear and professional, while making it unlike other headshots. The last thing you want is for the picture to be forgettable.

Quality

Finally, every good headshot really has to be taken professionally. No matter how great you think your holiday photos are, you’re probably not equipped to take a headshot of a high standard. A professional photographer can help you to take a super high quality photo that will speak for itself and give your business added credibility.
