6 Reasons You Need a New Headshot

6 Reasons You Need a New Headshot

Wether you are a professional, an aspiring actor, or entering a beauty pageant, the list is a mile long for reasons to get a new headshot.

If you already have a great shot that’s one thing, but, when is the time for an update?  Or, if you don’t have one at all or have never had one, consider the following if you are working for yourself, someone professional, or looking for a new job, soulmate or the following: 

 

 

  •  CHANGES TO YOUR HAIR:

  • An outdated hairstyle is number one on the list if you want to showcase what you currently look like. You may have a recent cute, trendy cut you will want to show off. 

  • You may have brand new EXTENSIONS and want to show off your luscious mane. 

  • You may have a new highlights or a new color you want to show off 

 

  • WANT TO  CHANGE IN JOBS OR RECENT JOB CHANGE:

  • You will want to stay current if you are searching for the latest job in your area. It’s a proven fact that potential employers look at your pictures on social media before they hire you. If you want the best chance at getting hired, consider a headshot not done on an iphone and by a professional.

 

  •  FASHION TRENDS CHANGE:

  • You DO NOT have to wear a blazer to get great headshots!  

  • You will want to update your headshot every 2-3 years especially if you wore something boring, bland or BIG in your last one. 

  • You will want to forgo wearing something super loose fitting, your photographer will be able to make you look skinnier and give you a digital diet if your clothes are tighter and not loose. 

 

  •  YOU MAY BE RECENTLY DIVORCED:

  • If your marital status has recently changed, enough said, get a new, fun, sexy headshot to show the world you are back up for grabs. This is confidence building at its finest.  

 

  •  WEIGHT LOSS & AGING: 

  • If you have recently lost weight and your profile image is 20 pounds ago on Linked In you will need a new headshot

  • New botox, lip injections or a facelift is also a great reason to update your headshot

  • Maybe you are 10 years older since your last headshot, if so, don’t stick with the old one just because you are invariable older, update that headshot 



  • MAYBE YOU WON AN AWARD:  

    • Maybe you won an award for “Best In Your Field of Expertise”  . . . you will need a great headshot for your website or newspaper article

 

How to Get Camera Ready for your Next Headshot Session:

  • Rehearse your facial expressions in a mirror before you go in

  • Ask the photographer which is your stronger side. Every person has a stronger side unless you are a celebrity or model and have perfect symmetry of the face

  • Communicate with your eyes, I always say, “Eyebrows are made for acting”  so use them for expression 

  • Relax and Breathe 

  • Pay attention to posture

  • Don’t pose square to the camera but,  if you have a good photographer she/he will know this

 

Need Tips on What to Wear for Headshots:

 

  • Consider playing off your eye color, if you have bright blue eyes most people look great in all shades of blue, turquoise, jewel tones, red, etc. 

  • If you have green eyes, consider wearing purples, orchid, hot pink 

  • Some employers will want everyone to look the same on top in the same shade if you are coming with a group so decide what color everyone will be wearing and change it up individually with the silhouette. 

  • Don’t  wear matching jewelry sets of earrings and necklaces.  This will age you.
