The Power of Headshots in Professional Networking
Before the internet based social media, people used to network only with those they worked with or those they can meet with. Professional networks were limited.
Today, You can network with people virtually wherever they are, share ideas with people across the world, there are no limits.
In the virtual world of today's networking, your headshots are the primary visual interface for others. Headshots help create a first impression, convey your personality, and establish a sense of identity in the digital realm.
Your headshots represent you and can significantly impact how you are perceived by others and the kind of connections you make.
This is What LinkedIn's Research Reveals!
Profiles with a professional headshot are 21 x more likely to be viewed and 36 x more likely to be messaged.
It can take just 13 milliseconds to form a first impression – less time than it takes to blink an eye! Lucky number anyone?
Your Profile Picture is The Key
to Unlock Your Personal Brand!
That's right! That single small profile picture on LinkedIn has a ton of weight behind it, it is quite powerful. Professionally taken photos give you a great opportunity to let people know who you are, what you stand for and what you bring to the table, all of that in just a second or less. You may already have a profile picture, the question is does it truly reflect your personality?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Preparation and Appearance
How often should I change my professional photos?
If your online portrait is noticeably different from how you really look, it's time for a new one. If you change your hairstyle, got a new pair of glasses, or gained or lost weight or if your current headshot is more than 1 year old, it is a good time for an updated headshot. We change and age visibly in one year and significantly in two years.
What's best to wear for my professional photoshoot?
Choosing a suit in neutral colors such as navy blue, charcoal gray, or black with a crisp white or striped shirt is the ideal choice. Avoid bold patterns and bright colors that can be too distracting in the photograph. Before your headshot session, I will provide you with a detailed guide and during the session, I will help you decide the right attire that brings out your best.
What should I not wear for my professional photo shoot?
This is an easier question to answer. Creased, crumpled clothes are not to be worn at all. Old shirts and trousers which were washed several times are supposed to be donated to the less privileged. Shirts with collars that collapse...either get them fixed (yes that's possible) or donate them.
Should I smile in my business portrait?
There are no rules, you can smile, or not smile, or just have a hint of a smile. In many cases, a well-executed smile can convey competence, trustworthiness, approachability, confidence, and likeability. During the headshot session, I will help you decide how much of a smile is right for you keeping your needs, branding objectives in mind. If you choose to smile, I will coach in getting a great smile that brings out the best in you. With a minimum of three edited photos included in my headshot photography session, you have the scope to try a range of expressions, and you can use whichever one is the most appropriate for your personal brand. For instance, a shot with a more serious expression might suit a webpage detailing the services you offer, while a more cheerful look might fit better on an 'about' page, where you’ll want to show a bit more of your personality.
My teeth are not too good, should I smile wide in my professional photo shoot?
The question is what you like, what you are comfortable with not what you think how others are going to judge you. Good or not good are just our opinions and they are inherently relative. If you are not comfortable with your teeth showing in your headshot, you may avoid smiling or you may smile enough without revealing your teeth. A headshot is you, it is about you not about the others.
Should I wear jewelry for my professional photo shoot?
You may! There are no rules. It is a matter of what is appropriate for your specific needs. For corporate headshots, jewelry should be minimal so as not to cause distraction. If your needs are different, you are the best judge as to what to do.
Should I put on makeup for my professional photo shoot?
Yes but please keep it minimal for corporate headshots. For formal headshots, please avoid eye shades or anything overboard.
Should I wear my glasses for my professional photo shoot?
If you normally wear glasses, yes. Keep the cleaning eyeglass cloth handy however.
Is there anything else I should do to prepare for my professional photo shoot?
Make sure to get a good night’s sleep before your shoot - also minimize alcohol to two drinks in the evening before the shoot - but feel free to fulfill the shortfall in the quota after the shoot. Drink plenty of water to make you feel and look your best! Also make sure you iron or steam the clothing choices you are going to wear into your session and decide on how you will style your hair and/or makeup. Please go through the preparation tips I share with you when you book a session.
Shoot Experience and Delivery
What can I expect from a typical professional shoot (for headshot / portraits) session?
Prior to the session, we will plan the shoot. On the day of the shoot, we'll narrow down the outfit options. I understand that not everyone is comfortable having their photos taken. I will guide you through the shoot. You will get to see your headshots at several points during your photo shoot so you can tell me how it is going and if any changes are needed.
How is retouching of professional photos (headshots and portraits) done?
I prefer to capture you in your best light, and provide professional retouching keeping you looking natural, the way you are. However I understand that everyone prefers a different level of retouching and it will be tailored to your needs.
Do I really need professional retouching for my professional photos (headshots and portraits) ?
Retouching is optional, but it can definitely enhance your professional photos. My aim is to capture you in your best light with natural-looking retouching that removes blemishes, stray hairs, and other minor imperfections. This results in polished headshots that still maintain your authentic look. However, I understand that some people prefer their photos untouched. You can choose the level of retouching that feels right for you, or even go without it entirely. Ultimately, the goal is to deliver photos that you feel confident and happy with.
