Hey there, fabulous individuals seeking the perfect headshot! It's Lisa Leach, your go-to photographer for capturing your most flattering photos. Today, I'm spilling the beans on the art of discovering your best side for that picture-perfect headshot.

Embrace Your Uniqueness

First and foremost, let's celebrate your individuality. Your best side is not about conforming to traditional norms but embracing what makes you uniquely you. So, throw away any preconceived notions and let's dive into the journey of self-discovery.

Light Up Your Features

Lighting is key, my friends! Find a source of natural light or set up some well-placed artificial lights to illuminate your features. Shadows can add drama, but we want your radiant personality to shine through. Experiment with different angles to see how the light enhances your best features.

The Chin Tilt Magic

Ah, the subtle art of the chin tilt! Ever so slightly tilt your chin up and forward. This not only defines your jawline but also exudes confidence. Practice in front of the mirror until you find that sweet spot where your chin showcases the dynamo within you.

Turn, Tilt, Twist

Now, let's get playful with angles. Experiment with turning your body slightly to the left or right, tilting your head, or giving it a subtle twist. These movements can create intriguing dimensions and add a touch of sophistication to your headshot.

Expressive Eyes

Eyes are the windows to the soul, right? Ensure your eyes are the focal point. Look directly into the camera with a gaze that reflects your personality. Whether it's a warm smile or a serious expression, let your eyes tell your story.

Relax and Be Yourself

The most important tip of all – relax! Embrace your natural self, and let your personality shine through. Avoid stiffness and overthinking. A genuine, relaxed demeanor translates into a headshot that captures the real you.

Test and Review

Take the time to review your headshots during the session. Discuss with your photographer (that's me!) about what angles and expressions you feel most confident in. It's a collaborative effort, and your input is invaluable.

The Final Selection

After the session, go through the proofs and choose the headshots that resonate with you the most. Remember, it's not about perfection but authenticity. Trust your instincts and go with the shots that make you feel amazing.

There you have it, my wonderful clients! Finding your best side is an adventure, and I'm here to guide you through it. Let's create headshots that radiate confidence, authenticity, and a touch of your unique brilliance.

Until next time, keep shining bright!
