What is a business portrait?
Business portraits are about marketing, branding and the business of your industry. They are a visual representation of your competence and reputation.
What is the best color to wear for a professional photo?
Plain colors are your best choice. Patterns or prints distract and date your photo. Choose mid- tone colors in blue, green, wine and purple because they are universally flattering. Avoid wearing tops in flesh tones (cream, beige, pastels, peach or yellow) as they will blend your face into your clothes.
How to Dress for a Professional Headshot:
- Remember that “eyes go where skin shows.” This means that the viewer’s attention will always be drawn to skin. So wear long sleeves to keep the focus on your face.
- Wear solid colors.
- Dark, neutral, and cool colors work best.
