I’ve Seen Every Bad Headshot… But You Deserve Better

Headshot Photography East Sussex Series: What NOT to Do

Let’s be honest — headshots are often the most neglected part of someone’s personal brand.

I’ve seen it all:

• Blurry images

• Old photos with outdated hair

• Wedding shots with other people cropped out

• Car selfies

• Filters so heavy they erase all texture

And while they might “do the job” for a while, none of them truly represent you in the way your clients or colleagues need.

Your headshot should look like you

Not a version of you from years ago. Not the overly filtered version. Not the “I needed a photo in a hurry” version.

Just you — at your best.

Professional doesn’t mean stiff

There’s a misconception that headshots must be overly formal. Not true.Your headshot can be soft, powerful, warm, relaxed, bold — whatever feels most like you.

But it does need to be intentional and well-lit, with the right expression and tone for your industry.

Better photos = better opportunities

When people take you seriously, they pay you seriously.A professional headshot is often the first step to being taken seriously.
