Professional Headshots
When you think “headshot”, what do you think of? Something classic like head & shoulders against a neutral background. Or maybe something a little more playful, like you in a beautifully designed space or outside surrounded by nature or the cityscape. Fun fact: there are lots of different kinds of headshots, it all depends on what kind of feel or vibe you want.
The beauty of professional headshots is that you can choose the style that best suits your purpose (i.e., where are you going to use it) and your personality (i.e., what tone you want to convey). At TLC, we work with 3 specific categories of headshots in order to provide the best look for our clients. These are: classic, lifestyle, and outdoor. Read on to find out more about what each of these professional headshots entails.
Three different options for professional headshots - all super fun, timeless, and beautiful.
The Classic
The classic headshot is exactly as it sounds: Classic but also classy (see what we did there?) It’s a timeless and more formal headshot that is great for a corporate environment. We use very simple and neutral backdrops for our classic headshots. They are always captured indoors, where we can control the lighting and environment. For the classic headshot, we typically focus on head and shoulders only, but we always give a few options for your photos, so you can choose what works best for you!
So if you are looking for a re-fresh on your corporate photo and you want something for a more formal corporate environment, go Classic!
“Classic but also classy” - the perfect professional headshot for a corporate or business environment!
The Lifestyle
If you are a freelancer, contractor, entrepreneur, or if you work in a less formal setting than the Lifestyle headshot session could be the perfect choice for you! Some key fun features of the lifestyle session include: the use of an indoor setting as a backdrop. Be creative with your location. If you are a shop owner why not do the session in your space! It’s the perfect way to reflect what you do. The lifestyle session is usually great for capturing more relaxed poses, not just the formal head and shoulders that are usually reserved for corporate photos.
There are so many choices, but in the end if you want something for a more formal corporate environment, go Classic! But if you prefer something a little more playful, consider Lifestyle or Outdoors! (See more on that below).
Something a little more fun and playful - the lifestyle session is perfect for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and contractors!
The Outdoor
Similar to the Lifestyle session, the Outdoor headshot is perfect for freelancers, contractors, and entrepreneurs. It’s fresh and fun, and flexible in terms of location and backdrop. Bonus: outdoor sessions use natural light, which is always flattering! For outdoor sessions, we exclusively use an outdoor setting as a backdrop. We try to make sure the settings are still pretty neutral in order to create the most timeless photos, but it’s always fun to get a little creative!
Outdoor sessions are definitely relaxed, informal, and organic - so if that’s your vibe, this is the session for you!
Natural backdrops and settings are the perfect vibe for fun and causal headshots!
There you have it - our 3 different professional headshot sessions. Regardless of which one speaks to you, we guarantee that each of them will leave you with beautiful, timeless, and professional photos. BONUS: it will also be super fun!
