Creation of a perfect headshot may seem like an easy task. However, there are small details that need to be considered to come up with the best result. The image ought to be professional and refined. To achieve proper lighting and the right focus, skill and talent are required.

Expertise is also required in subtle retouching and color correction so that the image stands out. To achieve all this, top quality equipment and professionalism will be necessary. The particular photographer chosen should clearly indicate in their profile the various skills they have when it comes to giving the desired images. Images should have a natural look because most clients and customers pay attention to sincerity of images. If the lighting, pose, expression or composition is forced, the purpose of the image is undermined.

To achieve a natural look, the individual needs to be comfortable with the entire process, and also the photographer. Having a relaxed environment at the studio or on location will be greatly beneficial. The role of the photographer in achieving a natural look is also pivotal. The level to which an individual feels and looks natural depends in some way on the way the photographer sets up.

Having a natural look does not end at the shoot. After the shoot, the photographer will have to make any changes to enable the image to achieve an even more natural look. This however is done in such a way that those viewing the image will not realize that it is processed; otherwise it will beat the purpose.

The headshot should also reflect the personality of the individual. This is the responsibility of the individual as it is only them that can bring out their personality during the shoot. However, great headshot photographers can help to spot and capture it. They will then ensure it comes in the final outcome.

As part of preparation, the hair and skin should be in perfect shape. Any radical changes in the normal hygiene practices just before the shoot should be avoided. It would not be wise to do so because such new products used for cleansing may bring about unexpected results.

Headshots should be taken with simple clothing. Using mid tone colors would work best. Using all-white can wash out and should therefore be avoided. Busy patterns can also cause distraction from the face of the individual. Due to the fact that headshots focus primarily on the face and also upper sections of the body, clothing chosen should fall well on the shoulders, and also flatter the neckline.
