What to wear for a headshot session, and what to avoid

Clothing choices make a bigger difference than most people expect. The guidance, thankfully, is simple.

Plain, solid colours photograph more reliably than busy patterns, which can distract from the parts of the image that actually matter. Bring a backup option if you’re unsure, since a quick change is easy on the day but impossible to fix afterwards. Think about how an outfit will sit against the background or setting you’ve chosen, since contrast matters more than the outfit alone.

Beyond clothing, comfort matters more than most people plan for. Anything that pinches, restricts movement or needs constant adjusting becomes visible in the final images, however subtle it feels in the mirror.

FAQs

A couple of quick answers.

Do you deliver LinkedIn-sized crops?
Every headshot is delivered as a square LinkedIn-ready crop alongside the uncropped retouched image, ready to drop straight into a profile.

How quickly will I get the final images?
A proofing gallery lands within 48 hours. Retouched finals follow within a week, sooner for team bookings with a launch date.
