What Is a Headshot? A Guide to Business & Branding Portraits
Friday, December 15, 2017 | By: Kim Dung Ho
A headshot is a modern portrait—typically digital—focused on the individual. Headshots are widely used for professional purposes, including LinkedIn profiles, company websites, and personal branding.
Corporate & Business Headshots
Corporate headshots are commonly featured on "About Us" pages, press kits, and social media profiles like LinkedIn. They help humanize a brand by showcasing the faces behind the company—executives, teams, and thought leaders.
Businesses use headshots for:
-
LinkedIn and publisher profiles
-
Professional resumes and bios
-
Internal communications and newsletters
-
Marketing materials and press releases
-
Author pages and media appearances
Consistent, high-quality headshots also help align a company’s branding across platforms.
Branding Headshots
Branding headshots go a step further—they’re designed to visually express your personal or business identity. While companies may opt for clean, uniform backdrops, individuals might choose settings or props that reflect their profession or personality.
Larger firms often provide specific style guidelines for headshots to maintain a cohesive brand image across teams and departments.
