What's the best way to shoot an executive headshot? The best method to create a great executive headshot is to start with natural light. Photographing with natural light gives the resulting photographs an organic and honest feel. These days, the majority of images are shot on smart phones using natural light - using studio strobes feels manufactured and fake. Next, photograph the executive in a way that shows their stature and expertise. This is accomplished by having a groomer on set so the subject looks squared away - even a little bit of makeup or powder helps give a healthy glow. Finally, photograph the executive headshot using a narrow depth of field so the team member is the hero and there are no distracting backgrounds. These are the best methods for shooting great executive headshots.
Real life, only better.
