Executive Headshot FAQs
How are executive headshots different from regular corporate photos?
Executive portraits are often prepared for leadership pages, press materials, and presentations, so the crop, wardrobe, and background may be more restrained and consistent with an organization's brand.
Should executives look serious or friendly?
It depends on the publication and brand. Compare a composed neutral expression with a natural smile, then choose the version that fits the surrounding leadership or press materials.
