Headshots
Your headshot specifically showcases you!
The first thing others look at and make their first impression of you is your face. Headshots focus specifically on the head and face to make your connection to the viewer positive and strong. True headshot photographers interact and coach you in a way so that the images captured elicit genuine emotion and facial expressions, and your final images exude confidence coupled with approachability.
Clean, modern headshots have non-distracting backgrounds and emphasize your face's overall appearance, with the focus being on creating a genuine expression and connection with the viewer, not on your clothing, jewelry, makeup or environment.
Everyone needs a high quality headshot, whether it's for your career, social media, or some other purpose. Your professional headshot is often the first impression someone sees of you, so you want it to showcase you in the best possible way. Headshots can be game changers or deal breakers. You don't want a snapshot, selfie or from a photo "that one time you looked nice at a friend's wedding" when you cropped other people out. The last thing you want is to be judged negatively by a bad image. Many people use professional headshots for their careers, but don't think headshots stop there. Your online presence is more prominent than ever, not only for work and professional social media sites like LinkedIn, but also for your many personal social media platforms. You have the freedom to express yourself and your personality in ways on your personal platforms that you can't on your professional ones.
If you're an established or aspiring professional looking for fresh, modern headshots, don't settle for a photographer who does a little bit of everything and says they "can do headshots too." Many photographers who offer "headshots" really just provide simple, waist up portraits where you just stand there and smile. There's no expression and posing coaching, and no attention to small details. With their generalist approach, using portrait lighting styles, random environments, and their prompt of "smile", or "3, 2, 1", you're guaranteed to come away with a portrait that looks tense, forced, and unnatural. Those viewing your image will notice the tension and see the lack of confidence, approachability and trustworthiness. Remember, a jack of all trades is a master of none. Angell Photography specializes specifically in headshots and portraits.
Headshots can be done both in studio and on location. In studio headshots are ideal when you're looking for a simple background in a controlled, indoor environment. On location headshots are better when you're looking for a specific location, environmental background, or you prefer the photographer comes to you.
