The essence of your brand is satisfyingly simple; it’s you.

It’s your personality, the things you do each day, the stuff that makes you laugh, cry, angry and happy, and your ambitions.

In many ways, a personal brand is nothing more than your life, albeit thrust into the spotlight for others to see. And that doesn’t mean going beyond what most people would consider being their boundary - it’s about showing the best of you, helping others and drawing people into your world so that you can work together to build a business, fight a cause or solve a cultural problem.

We live in a world of first impressions, and nothing establishes that first impression like a headshot. How and where it is photographed establishes what impression your headshot will make.

There’s a reason for the old saying about a picture being worth a thousand words. Images truly do work to provide information about a product or service, yet they go much further than this. Today, customers want to know who they are doing business with, and professional headshots on a website help provide them with confidence. They learn more about the person from their photo, so they feel more comfortable spending their money with this individual.

How Clothing Should Fit For Personal Branding Photo Session ?

Don’t wear clothing that fits poorly
It is a trend these days to wear baggy clothing, and as much as I love the style, it just doesn’t photograph as well as you might imagine. Here’s why, when you’re wearing flowey clothing in the real world, the movements you make still imply that you have a shape. The problem with wearing those same outfits on camera is that they are frozen in time, and something that looks like a box when you’re standing still, will look like a box in the finished image.
I am all about body positivity and will shout from the rooftops that there is not one perfect size or shape, but I am bringing this up because after years of photographing women, I get to see what they like and don’t like in the finished images. Women do not like images of themselves in big flowey clothes, unless they are in a very flattering model-like pose, which isn’t always possible in a headshot.
So when in doubt, wear fitted clothing, or at least wear clothing that gives you the shape you want to see when you’re standing still facing a mirror.

It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in, professional headshots are typically the first impression that people have of you, and nailing this part can make a huge different in how you are perceived in your life and in the professional world.

How Should I Dress For A Professional Headshot?

Style According To Your Industry

How you should dress for a professional headshot isn’t going to be an easy one size fits all answer. That’s why photographers can’t simply tell everyone to wear a black blazer. In fact, for some industries and some people, wearing a black blazer is the worst decision.
If you’re working in a startup industry or you’re getting in to an acting career, the look of a blazer can be too corporate and come off the wrong way. But in other industries, it’s the gold standard. So, I want you to instead consider the industry that you’re in, and the parameters around the types of clothing that your industry tends to wear.
