Good Headshots vs. Bad Headshots

Do you know what makes the subtle difference?​

​Take a look at headshots people post online. If you look carefully, you’ll probably notice that many people have fake smiles or uncomfortable expressions in their photos.

Not only do many of us feel awkward when having pictures taken, but most photographers don't actually know how to fix the problem. And the results speak for themselves (unfortunately).
​
A weak expression can literally mean the difference between a photo that opens up new opportunities... and one that doesn't. Case Study: How Chris Pecoraro's Strong Headshot Got Him More Interview Opportunities.

That's why we've spent over a decade refining our process, studying everything related to expression – from how your eyes can help you look more confident to how certain muscles in the jaw must be engaged for genuine smiles (the masseters and temporalis muscles if you really want to know 😉).

The fact is, your headshot's job is to inspire confidence in the viewer and give them a positive first impression of you.

A headshot that proves you know what you're doing and shows you take your career seriously is critical.

And as our tagline states, "It's all about expression."

​Laura Jackson

"Initially I was nervous about being photographed. I'm awkward as hell in front of the camera, but I needed the headshots for business purposes. They killed these pictures! They told me exactly how to pose and position my feet/shoulders to get the best angles for the shots. I'm so pleased with the outcome!"

​Nicole Wagner

"They were incredibly responsive and emailed me within an hour to ask if I had questions or needed any help prior to the session. The photographer was super nice and reassuring, and knew exactly how to direct me. We stopped after each batch of pictures to make sure I liked them, and when I finally settled on a photo and submitted it for retouching, I received it back within one day."

​Sheila Foster

"I have used City headshots now for the past 6 years. I have since had 4 shoots with them over the years, the most recent this month. The photographers are all excellent. If you need a headshot, this is the place to come. I tried out another photographer for a headshot but was disappointed. I am happy to report that City Headshots doesn't disappoint!"
