Headshot Guidelines for Men

Headshot Guidelines for Women

Headshot Clothing

The fit of your clothing is very important. Anything excessively tight will not bring the best in your headshot.
Wear a pressed plain dress shirt (solid color) without patterns as it can be very distracting. Make sure your collars are crisp and have collar stays. No curled collars! Shirts with structure are flattering compared to a floppy shirt. No swimming here!
Make sure your shirt is thick enough, otherwise have an undershirt that is not visible. V-Necks work best in case you decide to have the top of your dress shirt undone.
Either bring or wear at least 1 suit or sports jacket. Solid colors or simple work best.
Ties – unless your company said not to for your headshot, I highly recommend you bring one at the bare minimum. Ties help compliment your jacket.

Headshot Hair

Please take the time to style your hair. You now how it looks best.
Avoid coming in with a new haircut within 2-3 days.
Bring your styling products, combs or any additional accessory you use to style your hair.
Facial hair should be well groomed. Make sure your nose hair and eyebrows are under control.

Headshot Glasses
