7 KEYS TO A GREAT CORPORATE HEADSHOT #2️⃣ FLATTERING POSING 💁♀️ The way the body and face are positioned in a headshot significantly impacts the message that your headshot conveys. One of the biggest reasons someone will hate photos of themselves is because they don’t have anyone telling them how to stand in a way that looks good to the camera. 🙌 Things like sitting up straight, having hands that are relaxed, and an expression that is friendly aren’t natural for most people. Headshot sessions tend to be stressful and nerve-racking situations, which means having a photographer who can guide you every step of the way becomes one of the most important things to look for when selecting who you want to work with for the photo. 🙂 When someone looks relaxed in their headshot, it’s usually not an accident, but an incredibly intentional process that includes years of posing knowledge that can be translated into an image that looks effortless.

They’ve certainly succeeded in putting the “grey” in gravy… Alt: boxes containing multiple jars of beef gravy granules on a supermarket shelf. The granules are grey, giving the jars the appearance of transparent mini-urns at a crematorium. Yuk.
