Studio Headshots With A Dark Grey Background
Everyone should have an updated, professional headshot. Whether you are a seasoned professional, or you are just starting your career, there are plenty of benefits of having a well polished headshot. When scheduling your headshot, there are a few things to consider. Here are 3 quick things to consider when booking your headshots. And some examples of studio headshots with a dark grey background.
If Taken For A Company, Make Sure To Communicate The Specifics
If you are taking headshots for your company, it is important to understand exactly what is required. I recommend taking a quick look at your company’s website to get an understanding of what they have done in the past. For example, there may be a specific angle that all of the headshots are taken. Or your company may prefer more of a casual headshot as opposed to a suit and tie. For these headshots, the company required the headshots with a dark grey background. As long as you give your Photographer a heads-up, prior to the start of the session, they can typically meet any requirements your company has 😉
How Soon You Need The Images Back
Another important thing to consider is how soon you need the images back. Every Photographer is different on how quickly they can turn around the edited images. So communicating this to them is important. For example, there may be times of the week where I am editing 5,6, or even more sessions at a time. I typically edit images in order of when they are taken and how much time I have in front of the computer. And I typically do not edit images on the weekend because this is when I am the most busy shooting sessions. However, my typical turnaround time for headshots is 3 business days. If you need them faster than this, there is an option to “rush” the images back in 1 business day.
Make Sure To Coordinate Your Outfit With The Type Of Background
Last but not least, I recommend coordinating your outfit with the type of background you will be using. When it comes to the background, there are a lot of options you can go with. White backgrounds are the most common headshot background. However, pretty much any solid color can be taken in studio. And if this is not exactly what you are looking for, the headshot can be taken on a white background and you can be placed on a completely different background in post processing. But keep in mind that you do not want to blend into the background. For example, if the background is white and you are wearing a white shirt. Or if you are wearing a grey suit coat for headshots with a dark grey background.
If you are planning on taking studio headshots, hopefully these tips have been helpful 🙂 Thanks!
