This Is Your Sign to Finally Get a Proper Headshot

Still, using that cropped group pic from your mate's birthday? Or the ancient LinkedIn selfie? We've all said, "I'll get a proper headshot soon," and then... didn't. The thing is, people will judge your profile pic. 

And if you get ready to get one, remember that booking the best headshot photographer in London means no more awkward angles; they'll help you look sharp, confident, and actually like yourself.

Why You Actually Need One 

We all do it—Google someone before a meeting, interview, or event. And what shows up? That tiny headshot. That’s your online handshake. 

For freelancing, job-hunting, or running your own thing, a decent photo can actually change how people see you. And no, it’s not about looking super formal, just like social event photography. It’s about catching the real you. Something that feels relaxed but still professional. 

People want to work with someone who looks confident and approachable, not someone hiding behind a cropped group photo from a wedding. So yeah, your headshot matters more than you think.

What Makes a Headshot "Proper"

Have said this many times to my clients while capturing them that a proper headshot isn't about being perfectly posed or airbrushed into another person. It's about capturing you in a real way, like the way you laugh a little when you're nervous, or that calm confidence you carry into meetings. 

Personal branding headshots should feel like a visual intro: "Hey, this is me, and I know my stuff." You want good lighting, a simple backdrop, and clothes that actually feel like something you'd wear, not just a blazer you grabbed last minute. And you need a photographer who doesn't just click the shutter but chats with you, finds your angle (figuratively and literally), and gets the vibe you're going for. 

What’s In It For You?

• A batch of clean, high-res images you’ll actually want to use—on LinkedIn, your website, Zoom profile, pitch deck... anywhere you show up.

• A sense of consistency. Headshots help tie your whole online presence together so it doesn’t look like five different people run your accounts.

• Confidence. Yep, when you see yourself looking sharp but still you, it hits different.

• Options—because one size doesn’t fit all. You’ll get a mix of expressions, outfits, and angles to match different vibes.
