Houston marketing business portrait photographer, Michael Carr, recently photographed Terry for his new business website and his new national marketing campaign. On the day of his session, our client brought in a concept layout provided by his web designer for Michael to use as inspiration for the client’s business portrait. The graphic design director wanted the photographer to be able to visualize the direction the client’s new website campaign. After a brief portrait consultation before the session, we agreed on casual business attire combined with an interactive welcoming expression for his portrait. The format for the client’s new marketing collateral and website imagery design lead this final image to be a horizontal headshot portrait on a solid white background. After a few quick previews we all knew we had the portrait image Terry and team had envisioned. The art director loved this image. This new headshot image for this client’s website and marketing campaign is helping to propel his business on a national level.

LinkedIn Business Portraits

Houston Headshots for Social Media

Social media technology plays a major role in today’s business world. Breaking news is tweeted or hash tagged in seconds with new information being released instantaneously. Corporation V cards are used daily in the business world around the globe as a daily form of business introductions.

Corporate directories and annual reports are filled with business portraits showcasing corporate leadership. A polished professional portrait adds value to your presentations, proposals, and online business biographies. Let’s face it, digital media is here to stay and has proven to be effective amongst business leaders.

For business professionals, the social media go to site is LinkedIn. According to LinkedIn data, a social media bio is 11x’s more likely to be clicked on and viewed when there is an image included on an individual’s profile page.

There are two important factors to keep in mind for your LinkedIn profile picture.

1) Insert your social media headshot into your profile page. If you do not have a photo for your professional profile page, this can have a big impact on the overall appearance of your profile: incomplete and unbranded.

Visual communication is powerful and makes a positive impact when dealing with potential clients or professional counterparts.

2) Your social media headshot needs to be a professional. Quirky photos that might fly on Facebook are not a good choice on LinkedIn. Keep your headshot professional.

Remember, first impressions count, and people do business with people they trust so be sure that your picture conveys the impression of the warm, professional, friendly person that you really are. You can view more helpful tips for your social media headshots here.

Tips for Your Business Portrait

Business Headshot Tip

Below are a few helpful tips to prepare for your business portrait session and executive business headshot:

1) Clothing tips for your business portrait:
What to wear?
Does your clothing fit properly and do feel confident?

Try on your outfit or suit at home first. We always recommend solid colors and neutral tones and classic clothing lines. You do not want someone to look at your portrait, and be able to date it based on your clothing and clothing style (shoulder pads and big hair screams 80’s fashion). You want your viewers to notice your face and expression first, then clothing.

Do not let your clothing overpower your business portrait.

Men should select a tie that is classic and not too busy of a pattern or color. Your tie and suit choice should be a recent suit and properly fitted. If you do not wear a suit often, then it would be a good idea to try it on well before your session to make sure it fits correctly.

Men- if your suit is a bit snug, or you cannot button your jacket or collar of your shirt then it is time to invest in new clothing. Clothes that are too tight or that do not fit you properly will photograph poorly and you will not be comfortable during your session. You can view more clothing tips here.

2) Make up and Hair:
We recommend you either contacting our partner salon for make up and hair, or going to a salon you have used in the past and feel comfortable with. Makeup should be the correct tone, shade and intensity: not too dark and not too light. A fresh blow out will do wonders, and you will be ready for a fun night out after your session.

3) It’s Session Day:
First, relax and breathe. We will help you feel relaxed and comfortable for your headshot session. We will walk you through and talk with you to help provoke the expression you are wanting for your portrait. When your session is over, we will also help you select your final images.
