Headshot FAQ
Clothing should fit properly and nothing should be too tight or too loose(from the top of your head to the mid chest shows in a headshot) and clothing should be wrinkle free
Avoid logos or busy patterns on clothing (but since the background is typically black. white or gray a splash of color looks great)
Avoid showing bare shoulders
Avoid earrings and necklaces as simple is best
Hair should be styled the way you like it and beards, eyebrows and nose/ear hair should be trimmed and neat
