Top Tips for Male Realtor Headshots: Preparing for a Successful Photoshoot
To ensure that your male realtor headshots turn out great, we’ve put together some tips for you to follow before your photoshoot.
1: Wardrobe & Clothing
Your wardrobe is a critical part of your real estate agent headshots and lifestyle photos, and we want to help you make the best choices.
- If you have a lighter skin tone, avoid wearing solid white as it can wash you out. If you must wear white, layer it with a darker piece to break it up.
- Accessories are a great way to add personality to your photos. Consider incorporating an interesting tie or fun socks to show off your style.
- Make sure your clothes fit well and are tailored if possible. Baggy clothes can make you look larger than you are.
- Bold, bright colors work well for photos, while soft pastels can look washed out.
- Avoid small patterns like herringbone and gingham, as they can cause a moiré effect on camera. Stick with larger patterns or solids.
2: Skin and Hair
- Moisturize your skin and lips before the shoot to avoid flakiness and dryness showing up in your headshots.
- Style your hair as you would when meeting clients or hosting an open house to look put together.
- Bring a comb and hair spray (or other products you usually use) for quick touch-ups or flyaway taming during the session.
Tips for Taking Great Female Realtor Headshots
Here are some tips to help you prepare for your real estate agent headshots and lifestyle photoshoot so that you can feel confident and have fun!
1: Your Mindset Matters
Your attitude and mindset can greatly impact the outcome of your realtor headshots and lifestyle pictures.
Don’t overthink everything and trust your photographer’s creativity. Remember, it’s a collaborative effort between you and your photographer to create beautiful images.
2: Makeup & Hair
- Plan to have your hair and makeup done for your real estate agent headshots? Keep your makeup clean and natural to avoid looking too heavy or outdated.
- Avoid trying new products leading up to your shoot, and refrain from any facial treatments that may cause reactions or breakouts.
- Freshen up your hairstyle at least a week before your session to give it time to grow out.
- Avoid getting a haircut the day before your shoot. Bring your usual styling products to keep flyaways and frizz under control.
- Blowout bars can be a great option for the day of your real estate agent headshots.
4: Jewelry, Clothing, and Color Choices
- Less is more when it comes to jewelry for real estate agent headshots. Opt for smaller pieces that won’t distract from you in lifestyle pictures.
- Avoid clothes with odd shapes that may distort your body shape and ensure your undergarments are not visible.
- Stick with solid, bold colors and avoid soft pastels that may look washed out.
- Avoid small patterns and graphics that can be distracting.
- Choose clothes that reflect your personality and the type of clothes you want to attract.
When it comes to taking photos of a real estate team, careful planning and coordination are required since multiple individuals and personalities are involved. Below are some questions to consider during the planning phase in order to capture the best real estate team photos.
1: Reflect Your Team’s Personality
Your team’s personality should be taken into consideration when deciding on the style of your real estate team photos. Depending on whether you want to look more serious or laid-back, the location(s) and poses you choose can help capture the desired vibe. Additionally, drawing inspiration from your favorite TV show or film can result in a creative and unique team photo.
2: Coordinate Wardrobe and Colors
Your team’s wardrobe and color choices can reflect your brand and vibe, as well as the location and type of clients you sell to. For example, a team selling close to the water may opt for more relaxed and easy-going attire, while a team aiming for a more sophisticated look may choose an all-black wardrobe.
3: Capture Lifestyle Photos of the Team
Incorporating group activities that the team frequently does together can help create more dynamic and engaging real estate team photos. Activities such as golfing, grabbing a drink, or participating in charity work can add depth and interest to your photos, and prevent them from appearing too stiff and posed.
