Cracking the Code: The Unconventional Art of Non-Headshot, Headshots!"
Forget the conventional headshots; Add a dash of Dad-joke laughter, a sprinkle of serious business with a side of sass, and venture outdoors for a nature-inspired extravaganza. Embrace the weird, dance to your own camera shutter rhythm, and remember, the best non-headshot headshots are the ones that make you question life while keeping it fabulously eccentric.
So, picture this: you, in all your non-headshot glory, trying to look like a human and not a potato with a face. We've all been there, attempting to strike the balance between 'I'm professional' and 'I don't take myself too seriously.' It's like trying to salsa dance on a tightrope—tricky, but not impossible.
The "I Woke Up Like This" Vibe
Who needs perfection? Certainly not you. The key is to make it look like you effortlessly rolled out of bed and stumbled onto a professional photoshoot, coffee mug in hand, bed hair on point. The secret? To nail the "I woke up like this vibe" in headshots, opt for soft, natural lighting and minimalistic styling to capture a genuine and effortlessly chic morning look
The "Is This a Headshot or a Renaissance Painting?" Angle
Channel your inner Michelangelo. Pose like you're about to be sculpted into a marble masterpiece, capturing the essence of your profound existential crisis. Bonus points if you can pull off the "thinking about the meaning of life" gaze, while walking.
The "Oops, Did I Just Make a Dad Joke?"
Laughter
Nothing says approachable like a genuine, or not-so-genuine, laugh. The trick is to unleash your inner dad-joke master. Throw in a snort or a knee-slapping gesture for good measure. Remember, the cheesier, the better. Sadly during a session, I will get you to laugh right at me but I also have a dad joke or two in my pocket to help.
The "Serious Business with a Side of Sass" Stare
Sometimes you gotta bring out the big guns: the serious face. But who says serious can't be sassy? Channel your inner Beyoncé and give that camera a "I'm about to conquer the world, but make it fashion" look. Achieve "Serious Business with a Side of Sass" in headshots by maintaining strong eye contact, perfecting a confident yet approachable expression.
So there you have it, my non-headshot, headshot aficionados! Embrace the chaos, dance to the rhythm of your own camera shutter, and remember: the best headshots are the ones that make you snort-laugh and question the meaning of life simultaneously. Keep it real, keep it weird, and keep those non-headshots headshotting!
Until next time, stay fabulous!
