There are numerous tips and tricks you can use to get the most out of your headshot. Most executives attempt to portray themselves in as serious a manner as possible. However, you don’t always have to take that approach. You may need to look serious in some industries, however, if you can, try and show some personality. If you do, people are more likely to remember you!

• First Impressions Count – These days, online presence plays a very crucial role in how successful business is. First impressions count and frequently the first introduction that business associates, customers and prospective clients have of you is through your photo on your social media pages or website. That’s why it’s so important that this picture counts!

• Look Professional – If your profile photo is a poor quality shot, what does that say about your business and you? If you would like to be seen as professional, then you need to look professional and polished. A very compelling aspect of your personal brand is your online image.

• A bad headshot can damage your credibility – Or what is even worse it not having any headshot at all!If you have an amateurish profile photo, what does that say to your clients? When you don’t appear to really care about your own personal brand and business image, why should prospective clients trust that you will have higher standers when it comes to dealing with them or their businesses? Think about how a lack of confidence can financially cost your business.

• Stay Current – You can look dated if you have an old headshot photo. Clothing and hair styles change, so what might have looked good in 1998 at the beginning of your career isn’t going to in 2016. If your online profile photo is considered to be your first introduction, then it’s very important for it to look like you do. One invaluable way of documenting your success is to have a new professional photo done every couple of years.

• Expertise and Skills – A professional photographer will have the expertise and skills to work with light effectively – whether that happens to be studio light or natural light – and always get photos that are perfectly exposed. Their artistic eyes, as well as knowledge on posing to capture your best angle and skills they have to put you at ease and appear relaxed, allows them to capture the spontaneous and natural expressions that make you appear professional, friendly and confident. This results in an excellent professional image!
