WOMEN IN BUSINESS: WHAT TO WEAR FOR YOUR SHOOT
So you have decided you need a new business headshot as the one you have just isn t professional enough. Fantastic! Next thing to think about… what to wear for your shoot? ’
Keep it Simple! No, really simple. A headshot should be all about you, not your accessories. Avoid anything high fashion as it will date your image quickly and you want to get a few years out of your investment. What suits your body shape? Are you pear shapped, apple or even triangle.. didn t know this was a shape .Try on different necklines as you may be surprised at what suits you. (

Opt for solid colours and please do avoid patterns and the viewers eye will be drawn to your body rather than your face. ***If in doubt…. wear a solid colour, semi fitted v neck top. -
high v neck for smaller bust, a deeper but not too deep v neck for a larger bust (
