It's an introduction and tells your story: Headshots are a great opportunity to tell your story. It is your introduction and first impression and allows you to show your personality. When choosing a location, be sure to pick the location that best suits your career and suitable visual aesthetic. Let's make sure your headshots align with your brand, whether that’s personal, professional or both. It's a part of your branding: How does a headshot align with branding? Your headshot should represent a visual style and persona you want to reflect. For example, if you work in an industry of professional services who maintains business professional attire, your attire and headshot location should match that. It shows professionalism: That seems obvious right? But having a professional (and updated) headshot is crucial. When your current employer requests a headshot for the website or as part of a blog or social media post, you'll have it ready. Sending along a selfie or having your friend take a quick photo against a blank wall shows lack of preparation and professionalism. Choosing to invest into a professional headshot is a financial investment well worth the cost for your future. A quality headshot does more than just allow you to update your online avatar, it make you look good to potential employers. It infuses confidence in your own professional capabilities.

It's true that the main function of a headshot is to capture your image that implies or tell your story. I also agree when you said that it shows professionalism and promotes branding. My sister is looking for a professional photographer for her upcoming headshot photo shoot. She just got promoted, and it's needed for their weekly newsletter. I will advise her about the important factors that you've mentioned so that she will know how to project during the photoshoot.

I appreciated it when you mentioned that a professional headshot will create a good impression of yourself while portraying a touch of your personality. My cousin who is a lawyer is planning to start her own firm next year since she is better off working on her own. I will suggest to her doing a professional headshot photo for her company website so she can create a good impression of herself to her future clients.
