2. INTRODUCTION TO CAPTURELY In today’s digital-first world, your headshot isn’t just a photo it’s your handshake. It’s often the first real visual impression clients, partners, and employers get of you. That’s why investing in a polished, thoughtful business headshot matters more than ever. HEADSHOTS PHOTOGAPHY At Capturely, we understand the balance between professionalism and personality. A great headshot doesn’t just show what you look like it communicates confidence, trustworthiness, and approachability. Whether you’re building your personal brand or creating consistency across a company team page, here’s what you should know about business headshots. 02

3. 1. WHY YOUR HEADSHOT IS CRUCIAL HEADSHOTS PHOTOGAPHY First impressions stick: When someone sees your profile photo (on LinkedIn, your website, or a directory), split-second judgments are made. A sharp, well-composed headshot can convey credibility and competence. Brand consistency: For companies, consistent lighting, backgrounds, and framing across all staff headshots visually reinforces your brand identity. Adobe emphasizes that maintaining consistent color balance and composition is key in corporate settings. Versatility: A good headshot works across formats your website’s “About Us” section, social media profiles, press releases, and email signatures. 03

4. 2. WHAT MAKES A HEADSHOT GOOD ? A standout business headshot typically has: Strong lighting: Soft, diffused light that flatters without harsh shadows. Natural window light or well-positioned studio lights work beautifully. HEADSHOTS PHOTOGAPHY Clean, non-distracting backgrounds: Simple, neutral backgrounds ensure the focus stays on you. As one photographer suggests, avoid overly busy backdrops so “people’s eyes are drawn to your face, not what’s behind you.” Good composition: Usually framed from shoulders up, with a little space above the head. Many photographers favor focal lengths between ~80–120 mm to avoid distortion. Natural expression & posture: A relaxed, genuine smile (or calm neutral look), straight posture, and subtle pose (slight shoulder angle, not perfectly square) help you look polished but approachable. 04

6. 4. EXECUTION: ON THE DAY OF THE SHOOT HEADSHOTS PHOTOGAPHY Arrive a bit early to settle in, check wardrobe, and warm up. The photographer should guide you subtle adjustments in head tilt, leaning slightly forward, shifting weight, etc., can be the difference between a flat shot and a compelling portrait. Review images as you shoot. That feedback loop ensures corrections (wardrobe, lighting, pose) are made in real time. Take a variety of shots: expression changes (smile / neutral), slight angle shifts, and maybe alternate outfits if time allows. 06

7. 5. POST- PROCESSING & USE HEADSHOTS PHOTOGAPHY A LIGHT RETOUCH (skin smoothing, minor blemish removal, color balance) can polish the image while preserving natural features. EXPORT SEVERAL VERSIONS: full-resolution for web, optimized size for social/profiles. Use your headshot everywhere on your Capturely website, LinkedIn, email signature, speaker bios, and company pages. 07
