What is a Headshot?

A bold word that describes exactly what it says is a close-up image of the face, also known as the “Head & Shoulder” shot. In simple words, a Headshot is a professionally photographed portrait of a person's face which is a tightly cropped photo of the subject from the shoulder up.

Why do I need a Professional Headshot?

A professional headshot is an image that works hard in silence that speaks for itself. I call it an invisible bridge that helps connect to your audience. It is a small investment to showcase your online presence which projects your brand, personality and most importantly self-care. Although the old saying goes “Never judge a book by its cover”, sadly it doesn’t imply to the viewers in this digital world where sometimes you don’t get a second chance to make that first impression.

Can I take my own Headshot? Why SWOP SHOTS?

Yes, you can but it won't be the same, it would be like learning to drive without an instructor. You might reach your destination but it could be a long and bumpy ride.

Every individual has a different personality and everyone deserves to look their best when being photographed.

What background is the best for my headshot?

The background of your headshot selection is as crucial even if you’re more concerned with how you look. The best headshot background is determined by the mood you want to convey. White, black and grey are the popular choices as they are less distracting and put the focus on you. 

How long does it take to get the headshot done?
