Professional Headshots in Orange County for Corporate & Business

Although it is not mandatory to have your hair and makeup done professionally for your professional corporate headshot, it can enhance your appearance in the photograph. If you opt to do your hair and makeup yourself, it is advisable to keep it modest and traditional, avoiding anything that is too daring or fashionable. Sergio, the photographer, can suggest hair and makeup artists you can contact before your session.

Generally, professional corporate headshots only capture the area from your chest up, which means that accessories or props may not be necessary since your hands won’t be in the shot. However, you can still add some subtle touches to your outfit such as a simple necklace or earrings for women, or a tie or pocket square for men, to add some personality and style to your photograph.

Sergio and his team are skilled in retouching, so if you have any concerns about a scar, blemish or other feature, they can be removed from your final selected photos during the retouching process. Therefore, there’s no need to worry too much about these concerns.

Finding the right pose for your hands during a professional corporate headshot can be difficult. Our team typically suggests keeping it simple by crossing your arms or placing your hands in your pockets. While hands are typically not seen in headshots, Sergio and his team will provide guidance and work with you on the day of the shoot to find the best pose for your overall look.

Our recommendation is to update your headshot annually, as even if you don’t notice, changes in appearance can occur over time such as weight loss, weight gain, hair length/color, or other factors.

During your corporate session in Orange County, you are welcome to suggest a background for your headshot. Generally, for in-studio shoots, business professionals tend to choose white, gray, or black backgrounds.

As you hire a photographer for their unique style of photography, which includes their retouching technique, it is not advisable for clients to retouch their own photos. In fact, it is generally frowned upon. It is recommended that you discuss any specific retouching requests with your photographer, such as Sergio Garcia, so they can make the necessary adjustments to ensure that your professional corporate headshot looks polished and professional.

Our objective is to provide our clients in Orange County with a variety of images to choose from for their marketing efforts. To achieve this, we capture both smiling and non-smiling images during the session.
