Do you know a Headshot is different from a Business Portrait?
Headshots
Corporate or professional headshots are pictures of you, typically taken from the chest or mid torso up while keeping the focus on the face. While the most popular headshot backgrounds are solid white and gray, you can also use a location as a backdrop.
There is no right or wrong background for headshots. White background is most used because it allows the subject to be digitally extracted and copied onto different backgrounds. Black is more dramatic and often used for head shots of an actor or a model.
A professional head shot is an image of yours that can be used to project your style, competency and personal branding – often for social media profiles, websites, speaking engagements and more.
Business or Executive Portrait
A business or executive portrait is different from a headshot. It may be a close up or even full body. The background might be a studio, an office, or any other locations. A business portrait portrays more than a headshot. It is about your entire personality and what you’re trying to convey to the world.
A business portrait portrays is often used to project your image as someone at the top, like an expert or a founder.
Whether you are getting a corporate headshot or a business portrait, it is important to wear what you are most comfortable in, look relaxed and portray your natural authentic self.
