Level Up in 2023 With New Headshots

Model: Natalie Headshots by Melissa M. Harden at Studio 21 in Mattoon, IL

It’s the start of spring, which means it’s time to set new professional goals and map out the coming months.

If your 2023 plan includes leveling up in your industry, or you plan to enter an entirely new industry, you’re going to need headshots to go along with it.

Perhaps you already have some headshots–is there really a need to take new ones?
The answer is a resounding, yes!

As with most other things, headshots have changed. New trends have emerged and it’s clear to see who has adopted them and who hasn’t when you browse online profiles. Notice the profiles that stand out.

Naturally, your headshot should always match your industry if you want to get hired. If professionals in your sector dress in suits, you probably should too. The good news is there are ways to integrate industry norms with today's headshot trends.

Headshots can be centered around vibrant colors and both natural and dramatic studio lighting. And, with easier access to hair and makeup professionals, as well as high-end photographic equipment, headshots are now more about the close-up.

Backgrounds are also playing a more integral role as they give the viewer some extra insights into your personality and profession.

Basically, it’s about using the finer details to help you stand out among your peers.

Your headshots are one of the easiest and most effective ways to level up your professional profile online and we want to help.
