You’ve heard “never judge a book by its cover” so many times that it’s probably lost meaning—and yet, the words still hold true. People look at headshots and judge individuals 1/10th of a second. That’s right. Your success can hinge on whether you come across as pleasant, positive, trustworthy, and competent. You literally can’t afford to leave such an important detail to someone who isn’t experienced. Whatever industry you’re in, whether corporate, business, or acting people are going to take one look at that picture and in that split second will make a decision about whether or not they’re interested.
When it’s time to take a professional headshot, don’t leave it up to chance or an inexperienced friend. Contact Chicago photographer Kyle Bondeson. With more than a decade of full-time professional studio photography experience, he guarantees the highest quality work, at prices that won’t empty your bank account—really!

FAQs
Should I Wear Glasses In My Headshot?
If you normally wear glasses and people aren’t accustomed to seeing you without eyeglasses, you will want to wear them for your headshots!
If you do not often wear glasses, skip the eyewear.
It’s important that the photographer capture images that best represent you and your style.
Glasses can pose special challenges for the photographer. If you determine you need them for your headshots, it’s best to use glasses with an anti-reflective (AR) coating.
What Should You Not Wear For A Headshot?
If you don’t want to appear as if you’re glowing, avoid white, near-white and neon or fluorescent colors as these will reflect light into your face.
You can, however, wear white when planning to use it with a darker coat or sweater to avoid a “floating head” on a white backdrop.
It’s typically best to opt for cooler colors over warmer colors as cool colors will complement, not accentuate, the natural red tones in your skin.
Avoid busy patterns and logos of any kind as they detract from you, the star of the photo.
Stay away from ill-fitting clothes or clothing you don’t normally wear. By choosing comfortable clothing that you already own and wear, you’ll look more authentic and confident in your headshots.
Lastly, avoid pastels or other flesh tones that are unflattering and wash you out.
Can You Wear Black In A Headshot?
Absolutely. Dark colors provide more contrast in a photo and wearing black for your headshot is a great way to naturally shift focus to your face.
While black is recommended, make sure to also bring a few different color tops that will contrast against different backgrounds.
Should You Wear Jewelry In A Headshot?
Less is more when it comes to headshots. Unless you represent a jewelry brand or certain jewelry is part of your signature look, it’s generally not recommended to wear these accessories in your headshots.
If you feel jewelry is essential to your headshots, I recommend keeping it to a minimum and avoid oversized pieces or dangling earrings that can be distracting and interfere with flattering poses.
