5 Headshot Poses for your Next Branding Photo Session

Headshot Pose Ideas

I know getting photos taken of yourself can feel super weird - I’ve felt that way, too! But I believe it’s so beneficial for building a brand that people can know, like, and trust.

It’s so valuable for people to see your face. And in seeing your face, see the heart behind your business. The person putting in the blood, sweat, & tears. It gives them someone to connect to beyond the business itself. And that may be the decision-making factor for them when deciding between your business and another business offering something similar.

And besides, you have a nice face. So, don’t hide it!

At a branding photo session, it’s helpful to have photo examples to reference when you start to feel stuck on what to do with your hands! Hehe. So here are 5 headshot poses for you to refer to! Pinterest also has a wealth of ideas waiting for you. Check out this board on Lifestyle Posing Ideas for more inspiration!

Headshot Posing Idea Hand in Pocket

Hand in Pocket

Put one hand in your pocket & push your weight into one hip. Shifting your weight can help accentuate your natural shape and curve.

 
Headshot Posing Idea Walking Away

Walk Away

Walk away from the camera and look back over your shoulder for a friendly, inviting look!

 
Headshot Posing Idea Running

Get in Motion

Get in motion! My movement toward the camera is more of a skip/run, but you can make it your own with a casual stroll or a fierce strut! YGG.

Hold a prop that speaks to what you do or who you are. A laptop, camera, phone, flower, pen and journal, paint brush, etc. - whatever fits you!
