When image making, since we’re primarily dealing with digital technology, you want to always think about how to maximize the humanity of the portrait. One way we can achieve that is by considering the body’s psychology. Hands symbolize trust, and it’s to your benefit, (even during that client meeting) to show them off! Studies show that people who talk with their hands come across as more convincing and trustworthy. What do you guys think about this twist on our classic business portrait?

Seasonally we notice a big shift in the background colours people select. These days we’ve been having people pick a lot of darker colours. Our reasoning? We’re all so aware of the fact it’s still in winter at this point, and psychologically it’s making our mood more sensitive to bright colours. Despite this very natural urge, don’t forget to still incorporate a bit of warmth in your photo, either by smiling your way through the season or wearing some purple or red in your outfit to balance out the mood. Here’s a great example of how to achieve just that while still remaining very cool and collected in your business portrait.

Getting your headshot can be overwhelming. Just thinking about how to do your makeup, hair, and pocking the right wardrobe is enough to make anyone’s head spin! But if you can handle it ladies, taking that extra step to find the perfect necklace and earrings to debut in your portrait can make all the difference. In other words, those little details seem easy to skip, easy to think that no one will pay attention to things that much. Overall it makes the image look tidy and put together, whether we realize is due to the accessories completing it or not. Bring your whole jewellery bag and let us help you pick out the right oomph for your headshot!

This may be a weird thing to bring to light, but once you do you won’t be able to unsee it. We’ve noticed that in almost every corporate female portrait, the woman’s hair is worn down. Sarah on the other hand, with her beautiful wavy hair and mini fringe, showed us how to pull off the business pony. To be honest, we think she is rocking it and couldn’t imagine a stronger way she could present herself. With just the right touch of accessories, the look beams an energetic, smart and savvy vibe.
The important thing to remember is although there are certain rules of thumb, there are always ways you can break the standard. Our advice? The ones who go against the grain tend to make stronger portraits.

In a recent post, I described the magic we can make with a little something called “colour grading”. If any of you use instagram, you may have noticed this function to add colour to the shadows and highlights of your image. Here, we wanted to add to Redstone Agency’s corporate branding by adding none other than the colour—red! Scroll down and our recent posts and see if you can you feel how different the impression is!

When in doubt, go for our light grey. We swear by it no matter what skin tone and no matter what colour suit you are wearing. Whether female or male, the light grey is the best neutral you could hope for. In packages above the Minimal, we offer the option of changing your background colour more than once for your variation. That’s why we say start off safe and add onto the shoot as you go along.

Patterns are a great way to liven up your photo, but we always recommend keeping them on the down low. Opt for smaller items to be colourful such as a pocket square or scarf to make your portrait stand out while still remaining professional. The reason being is we must think of clothing as a frame to our main focal point—the face! Here’s a great example of that tip from a recent on location headshot session we had at a corporate office.
