Cheshire Headshots

when you have to look your best

Headshots play a crucial role in making a first impression during a job interview. It’s important to strike a balance and make your headshot neutral yet engaging while also portraying a little about yourself and your skills. One way to achieve this is by having a portfolio of shots, with each style serving a different purpose. Having different looks can entice or challenge a viewer, and lighting and backgrounds can be adjusted to complement facial structure, skin tone, hair, and the story of the character you’re presenting. A good headshot should be a mixture of honest editorial-inspired portraits and soft, flattering, commercial headshots that adapt to the client’s needs. The goal is to deliver beyond clients’ expectations by providing customized and crafted images that showcase the client’s skills and personality.

The Process

This is the creative part

Sessions with Paul are relaxed, collaborative, and focused on achieving successful headshots. Clients begin by discussing their career history and goals, as well as the desired styling for the shoot. This is followed by hands-on shooting to optimise the process, with plenty of talking and direction provided throughout. Paul offers a strong insight and tips to make sure your shots are professional and well-crafted. Rather than relying on unconventional methods to inspire reactions, the photographer has simple, effective tricks to create headshots that stand out. The focus is on clear direction, subtle emotion, and natural connection with the camera. Whether you’re an experienced or aspiring performer, this professional approach will help achieve your vision and convey the perfect message.

Prepare

when you have to look your best

Clothing

When preparing for headshots, clothing plays a crucial role.

Solid colours and freshly ironed clothes! It’s best to avoid patterns for your headshots as you are the focus not your top! Freshly ironed is always a bonus as, if you feel good that comes through down the lens! For your full length shots you can choose different styles of clothes. If your wearing shoes / trainers, please make sure these aren’t wet on the day.

Make-up 

Don’t go overboard with the makeup – a nice natural look is best if you choose to wear makeup – if you’re having a portfolio of shots or want a more dramatic look a red lip is good. Less is generally more for younger children for headshots. Wear your hair how you feel it suits you best- for portfolios its good to mix between hair up and down where applicable.
