A headshot session booked by recruiters has a slightly different brief to the average session, even if the process looks similar on paper.
The images need to work harder for a specific purpose, whether that’s a particular platform, a particular audience, or a particular use case that a generic headshot session wouldn’t necessarily account for. That means a slightly different conversation before the shoot, and sometimes a different selection of looks or setups on the day.
If you fall into this group, it’s worth saying so clearly when you enquire, so the session gets planned around the actual use case from the start rather than adjusted afterwards.

Pricing, process and everything else sits on the Headshots page, and a direct message gets a straight answer faster than a search ever will, so get in touch if in doubt.
FAQs
Quick answers, no fluff.
What should I wear for a headshot?
Plain, solid colours photograph best. A backup top is worth bringing if unsure, matched against whichever backdrop reads best.
How long does a headshot session take?
Most single headshots take around 45 minutes, including a wardrobe change if one is brought along. Team sessions run in back-to-back slots so a whole office can be done in a morning.
