3 Tips on Preparing for your Executive Portrait

Corporate Photographer: Vanie Poyey

• Think about the market you are trying to appeal to and shoot your photos accordingly!  No need to shoot an environmental photo if the environment doesn’t add to your message.
• Put together clothing that clearly communicates who you are as a professional.  Are you the “business casual” or the “upscale executive”?
• Accessorize your image!  Take with you those accessories that define what you do.  In the case of environmental shots, props also work as great accessories.

How to Take a Great Corporate Headshot

Corporate Headshots

Your company finally decided to update the website and hire a professional photographer to take portraits of all employees.  What can you do to look your best?

• Your images have to convey warmth.   If the photographer doesn’t coax it out of you, keep in mind that  a slight smile brings likability to your photos.
• Wear clothing that suggests “professional” without any distractions.  Stay away from white and patterns.  White tends to become overexposed and take away from your face.  Men should stick to saturated colors for their undershirts, rather than white (see example below by Ronald Vacchina in purple). Women should avoid large patterns that dominate the image (see example of non-distracting patterns worn by Kathleen Griffin).
• Stay away from overbearing jewelry and from showing too much cleavage.  Looking attractive and approachable is the goal, not looking as “Sexy” as possible.
• Use lots of powder.  If there isn’t a professional makeup artist, men should dab their face with tissue to get rid of oils that may shine on camera.  Women should powder their face with fixed powder to avoid looking oily.
• Lastly, Keep hair out of the face! Be  sure to spray your hair in place to look neat and professional.
