Professional & Corporate Headshots
I am Craig, the photographer behind The Headshot Pro.
I help executives, keynote speakers, and professionals project confidence and credibility in every headshot. Through expression coaching, I ensure your visual presence reflects both authority and authenticity.
First impressions happen in an instant — often before a single word is spoken. A professional headshot isn’t just a picture; it’s a strategic tool that communicates confidence, credibility, and approachability.
As a Leadership Expression Coach, I work with executives, keynote speakers, and professionals who want their portraits to reflect the strength of their expertise and the authenticity of their character. My clients often come from fields where presence matters most — including law, technology, and financial services — but my approach is designed for any professional who understands the power of a strong personal brand.
Through guided coaching in front of the camera, I help clients feel at ease, unlock their natural confidence, and project a presence that resonates both online and in person. The result? Headshots that don’t just look good — they work hard for you, building trust, authority, and connection from the very first glance.

Your Photoshoot Experience
From your first enquiry to the final delivery of your images, I aim to make the process as easy and enjoyable as possible. It all starts with a quick call or email to understand what you’re looking for—whether it’s a professional headshot, a personal portrait, or a family session. We’ll chat about your goals, style preferences, and how you’d like to use your images. Once you’re booked in, I’ll send over a simple guide with tips on what to wear, grooming, and how to prepare, so you arrive feeling confident and relaxed.
On the day of your photography session, I create a calm, friendly environment where you can be yourself—no awkward posing or pressure. I’ll guide you through everything, helping you feel at ease and look your best throughout. After the session, you’ll be able to view a selection of your best images and choose your favourites. Every chosen image is professionally retouched to a high standard, while still looking natural and true to you.
For headshot sessions, your final images are delivered in high resolution and web size, ready to use and enjoy. For portrait photography sessions, we will also discuss creating artwork for your home, with a selection of beautiful prints and display options designed to showcase your images as timeless pieces of art.

Before & After Headshots
The difference is clear: the ‘before’ looks fine, but the ‘after’ captures you at your best — confident, approachable, and ready to stand out. With the right lighting, direction, and a touch of polish, a professional headshot turns an ordinary photo into a powerful first impression you’ll be proud to share.
Note the dark eyes, unsure smile, distracting background, untidy hair and clothing in the first image while the second fixes these issues and improves it with flattering professional lighting, true skin tones and a genuine expression!

FAQS
What do headshots mean?
A headshot is a photographic portrait, focusing on a persons face and shoulders. Headshots are used on websites, social media, PR materials and actor portfolios to show an accurate representation of a person. Features of a headshot are:
- Focused on the face
- Cropped to include the shoulders to add perspective and emphasise the face
- Eye contact with the camera to assist with connection
- Clean backgrounds, avoiding any distractions.
Headshots are widely used by business professionals, actors & models, prominent media figures and students.
What is a proper headshot?
A headshot photograph should be focused on the face and cropped to include the top of the shoulders. The photo should be well lit and provide an accurate representation of a persons face including features, skin tone and expression. Ideally, a proper headshot should show good eye contact with the viewer and a friendly demeanour.
Why do you headshots matter?
Your professional headshots are often the first thing people see when they form their first impression of you. When you Google your name, what is the first thing that you see? Whether it is your company website, LinkedIn profile, Facebook or Google result your first image is how you will be seen. What does that image say about you?
A specialist headshot photographer can help create professional headshots that help you to connect with potential clients. Perhaps you are a CEO with serious responsibilities for many people. Or you may be building a young, innovative new start up. Each requires a slightly different type of portrait but ultimately you will want to look both confident and approachable.
How much should you pay for a professional headshot?
Professional headshots can cost from £50 to over £500, depending on the photographers experience, options and your budget. There are headshot photographers who may have low rates and focus on speed and volume, while photographers with premium rates create a high-end boutique experience. You should consider how much you value your professional image and choose a photographer that suits your requirements and budget.
What's the best thing to wear for a headshot?
Your standard of dress reflects your image, especially in professional headshots.
- A well fitted suit or dress works for more formal images, while a shirt and jacket work well for more casual shots.
- Layers work well, so bring options.
- Avoid bold colours, patterns and brand logos as they can be distracting.
- Leather jackets look great!
- Avoid excessive jewellery
For most shoots, bring as many choices as you can because it’s often the last option you brought that works best on the day.
How do you prepare for a headshot?
- Get some sleep the night before.
- Arrive on time.
- Ensure clothes are clean and crease-free.
- Bring a tie for more formal shots.
- Bring your glasses.
- Keep make up minimal.
- Decide if you want to be clean shaven.
- Amazing professional headshots are a result of good preparation and a great photographer!
What should I expect from a headshot photoshoot?
Above all, I like to make my sessions an enjoyable experience for all involved. The most commonly used word among my five star Google reviews is “fun”. This is because I go the extra mile to make sure that my clients are comfortable, relaxed and ultimately happy with their professional headshots. Contact me to book your session in London today.
Should I smile in a headshot?
Yes, in most cases you should smile in professional headshots. It doesn’t have to be a huge cheesy grin and we also don’t want your headshots to look like an awkward school photo.
A great headshot photographer will help guide you you to find the perfect confident smile for you.
Should I get a haircut before a headshot?
Before getting professional headshots, you should make sure your hair is cut and styled properly but aim for at least 2 days before your photoshoot. This gives your hair a little time to settle down and look its best.
Can you hide a double chin in a headshot?
Yes, I have some tips and tricks to help reduce any extra weight you might be carrying under your chin. Pushing your face forward towards the camera will help create a sharper jawline. I will help you achieve a stronger chin in a few simple steps.
What colour background is best for a professional headshot?
The background colour of your headshot depends on your intended use. Classic white can work well for print and websites that need background removal. For professional headshots I recommend grey backgrounds as a more modern choice that helps colours and skin tones to pop and work well for social profiles like LinkedIn.
Are headshot photos retouched?
Yes, professional headshots should be retouched. We all have blemishes, spots and shaving cuts. The golden rule is that anything that won’t be visible in two weeks can be removed.
What are common headshot mistakes?
Some common headshot mistakes to avoid are:
- Wearing distracting clothing such as bright colours, bold patterns or logos
- Wearing dirty, creased or inappropriate clothing
- No eye contact with the camera
- Lacking an engaging expression
- Poor lighting
- Poor skin tone accuracy
Can a selfie be a headshot?
Not if you want to look like a serious professional. You should always have professional headshots taken by an experienced photographer. The quality of your headshot directly reflects on how you want others to see you, so poor quality photographs lack professionalism.
How do I book a headshot session?
I understand that your time is valuable. I help make organising your professional headshots simple before and after the shoot.
Once we fix a date, I will provide you with your own custom booking calendar with a link to send to your staff or to schedule your team yourself. Once booked in, your team will receive my preparation guidelines with top tips on how to look your best on the day.
I bring my mobile photography studio to you. This includes the very best professional cameras, studio lighting and backdrops that allow me to produce flattering, high quality images all day, every day.
If you want to be sure that your staff is looking their very best, you can also request my professional hair and make up service. This optional extra allows me to bring a hair and makeup artist who will guarantee each person is impeccably presented before stepping in front of the camera.
Booking me for a full day or half day corporate photoshoot is the most cost effective way to update your business headshots. Simply make a booking and provide me with a space and I will provide everything else. All corporate photos receive my basic retouching service, so there is no need to worry about those shaving cuts or spots. In just a short amount of time, your staff will have fantastic images they will want to share with family, friends and online.
What should I think about for corporate headshots?
If you are undergoing a rebrand or website refresh, you may require additional shots of your people at work. I can help provide a selection of professional headshots for your company gallery. Contact me to discuss your work and environment photography needs.
What is the difference between a headshot and business portrait?
Sometimes, my standard headshots sessions are not suitable for all staff. This is why I offer Executive Portrait sessions for CEOs and other senior staff. Often these people require a range of images for Press Releases and other engagements. Executive Portrait sessions provide a bespoke business portrait service for senior staff who prefer to spend more time and receive even more professional headshots.
Are your actor headshots suitable for Spotlight, Backstage, etc?
My actors headshots are perfect for casting agents, management agents and sites such as Spotlight, Backstage and Casting Collective.
