HEADSHOTS

SERENA IS THE DA VINCI OF PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
Do you have great headshots?
Is your headshot doing you justice? Is it showing you at your best, and communicating a little insight into who you are? Is it resonating with the intended audience? In this visual age, where our image precedes us, we all need excellent, professional headshots.
For anyone who wants great headshots for social media, LinkedIn, or dating profiles, I offer headshot photoshoots, undertaken in my West London studio and/or local park or on location.
I will capture the essence of you and your character in a series of natural and flattering portraits. My approach is professional, yet informal and my portraits do not embellish or alter but have a spontaneous and distinctive way of showing your real character.


More than just a standard headshot
As you can see from my gallery below, I do more than just standard headshots. I also do 3/4 shots, a change of clothing or two and (if you like) outdoor shots locally, weather permitting, This provides you with a series of portraits which have colour and texture and give a better idea of who you are.
You may feel anxious before the shoot. That’s fine, many of my clients do. I will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera in order to present the very best version of you in unique, genuine and distinctive portraits.
I will give you more than just an amazing portrait of yourself: I want to give you a great experience so that you leave the photoshoot with a skip in your step and feeling good about yourself.

FAQs
WHY ARE HEADSHOTS SO IMPORTANT?
We live in a visual age. In today’s world, whoever you are and whatever you do, you need fabulous headshots that show you at your very best. You may have all the substance in the world but if you don’t project a strong image to go with it, people may not respond in the way that you wish. Your image is talking to potential contacts and clients, even when you are not. So you had better be sure it’s delivering the correct message.
DO I NEED PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS?
Most certainly. Gone are the days when you can just post a selfie on your linked in profile or website ‘about’ section. It’s so important to have a consistent visual personal brand identity across all media platforms. That doesn’t mean the same headshot for each, but it means a homogenous, consistent look and presentation which can only be achieved by a professional headshot photographer.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR FOR A HEADSHOT?
- Solid, soft and muted colours usually photograph best and avoid logos, neon and wrinkled clothes. A couple of changes of clothes are advisable.
- Simple accessories are normally recommended unless your look is ‘funky earrings’ or ‘layered necklaces’ just make sure it’s appropriate for your industry.
- Have a haircut a week or so before the session (men). Women should have hair styled before the session (women). And, if you colour your hair, do this at least a few days in advance – particularly important if you get dark roots.
