Top 5 Nos For Headshots

Here is your top 5 DO NOT DOS while executing a professional headshot.

1 Do not wear short sleeves. Nope, don't do it. You might think that you can carry it off but you can't. 

2 Do not over accessorize on the jewelry. It will be distracting and send a message that could be taken the wrong way.

3 Loud colors and bold patterns. Keep it dark and clean. Eyes always go the brightest spot on the page. That should be your face.

4 Women, don't think that you have to wear more make up. If you have a professional photographer, they can fix any problem areas you might be concerned with in post production. Natural skin tones that glow are much more attractive and will stand better in the finished product.

5 Don't use outdated headshots. Shelf life on headshots is about 4 years. When your client shows up and has seen your headshot, you do not want them ask "who are you"?
