Jacksonville Professional headshots are one of those things that everyone knows they should have, but many people put off because they’re intimidated by the process of getting them done and don’t know exactly what to expect. If you find yourself in this category, don’t worry—you aren’t alone! Having been in the photography business for more than twenty years, our team at SSS Studio understands how to make your experience as enjoyable as possible while producing photos that truly represent your personality and professionalism.
Choose the right photographer
When choosing the right photographer, it's important to make sure they have experience with the specific type of photos you need. For example, if you're looking for a portrait photographer you should look for someone who specializes in portraits. The same goes for someone who is looking to get business headshots or full body pictures. You can find out what type of photography services a person offers by checking out their website, portfolio or asking them directly about their experience before booking an appointment.
Consider the setting
It's important to note that there is a difference between a business headshot and a personal one. A business portrait should be more formal, with the subject wearing a suit and sitting upright in front of a neutral background. Personal portraits are all about capturing the personality, so they can be taken anywhere, with various clothing or poses, as long as they look good.
What to wear
- Wear dark, solid colors – lighter colors can create unflattering shadows and reflections
- Avoid wearing prints which can lead to distracting patterns in the photo
- Make sure you are well-groomed – be clean shaven, wear minimal makeup (if any), and fix any flyaways or loose strands of hair
- Select an outfit that flatters your body type
- Be comfortable!
Hair and makeup
If you're in the Jacksonville area and want to book a session with SSS Studio, here are a few tips that will help you nail it. You'll want to start by styling your hair and getting a little makeup done so that you can feel confident and put-together on the day of the shoot. Make sure to bring as many outfits as possible with you and try different things on until you find something that really makes you feel like yourself.
Relax and have fun
- Relax and have fun with it! Keep in mind that the photographer is there to help you look great, so just be yourself and let him or her do the rest. This can be a stressful time if you're not used to being photographed, but once you relax, it'll make things go much more smoothly.
- Choose a good outfit ahead of time: We recommend choosing an outfit that makes you feel confident and comfortable.
