What to Wear for Professional Headshots
A practical wardrobe checklist for a professional, LinkedIn, executive, or company-bio headshot — what to bring, what to leave, and how clothes interact with the crop and background you're shooting against.
How to choose a guide
Start with the one closest to the session you're planning. If you're picking wardrobe, start with what to wear. If you're running a company headshot day, start with corporate headshot day planning. If you're an actor planning casting submissions, commercial vs theatrical is the right entry point. If you're deciding between studio and on-location, start with studio vs on-location headshots.
