I’d like my headshots to show a little more personality with a different color backdrop. I am proficient in photoshop, but didn’t know if it was unethical or frowned upon to do this

Hi! I have a headshot opportunity, but this person only has a white backdrop. I was considering changing the color later on in photoshop to add a bit more personality, but I’m not sure if this would be frowned upon. Thanks!

It's been a while since I've had headshots done. My photographer says I get three looks what should I do to show my agency

Can I ask a quick favor? I'm doing a character development exercise and need the eyes of someone who doesn't have any prior connection to the subject. Just go by your first impression. Please look at the photo and click as many or as few descriptors as you think apply. Thank you!!!

Hey guys,

I have never shot headshots before but I figured hey it’s good to get the experience and possibly do more.

What is the best location for these type of headshots based on industry? I was thinking outside in nature but I normally see corporate headshots in studio with the same backgrounds.

For anyone who has shot therapist and psychologist, what has worked best for you and them background wise?

Lastly, how many head shots do you deliver for finals?

Hi everyone! I'm wanted to get some constructive feedback on my headshots. To give you an idea of my set up:
Canon R6 with a Tamron 35-150 F2.8-4
2 Godox SK400ii
-One in front at about 45* above the subject Square Softbox
-Other behind the subject lighting the backdrop with standard reflector
Westcott Curved Eyelighter Silver Reflector
White Backdrop

Setting from memory:
ISO: 100
85MM
F-8.0
1/125

Hello is there a subscription service for unlimited Ai headshots? I have a lot more to do then I thought for a entire group that comes and goes so would like to pay a monthly and set it for whenever we need it.

My client nailed the chill pose!

Last week I got new shots taken and it went very well but there are too many im considering. I've heard 5 or 6 is usually a good number but i love the range i have and i think maybe I'll end up with 8 or 7 to be re touched? Would anyone say that may be a tad excessive?

I am a latino and I was wondering if a white background would be a bad idea for my headshots? and if so what background color would better suit me thanks. ;)

I (27f) am attending a conference for work this week. They are offering professional headshots for a very reasonable price. I had planned to wear a tan blazer with either a dusty blue or emerald top under. Today I found out that the backdrop will be solid grey and I am worried that my tan blazer will clash. What are your thoughts? Any outfit tips? Are people still wearing blazers for headshots or are we moving away from that? Any and all advice, tips, or suggestions are welcome BUT if I need to order something else I have to Amazon Prime it today because I am leaving Wednesday morning 😅

I usually do real estate photography, but recently I was asked to headshots. I'm inexperienced with it. Could I have some feedback on these headshots?

I’m not very happy with the editing on my headshots, you can see the editing and it isn’t blended well and one of my birthmarks have been removed, is it wrong of me to edit the original?

Greetings, I'm a poet that needs a great headshot. $500 is my budget. Thank you.

i recently joined an acting academy and i'm serious about making this my career. should i wait until ive attended more classes before getting headshots, or get them done asap? also my hair has unnatural colours in it. should i dye it back to normal?

I’ve just started Acting classes again after a year hiatus (I lost my job so couldn’t fund classes), got a flexible evening job and I feel like I’m now in a position to make a start to a proper film acting career.

I’ve been referred to a photographer by one of my classmates, very nice photos and is very personality based result-wise, but his fee is £500.

Obviously it’s always better to spend the extra for better quality, but, at the same time I haven’t got an eye for what I want just yet and I’m worried I would pay all this money for headshots that could possibly not reflect me in the future. Would this be a good beginner move or should I look elsewhere?
