First, let’s start from the beginning, what is a headshot? Well, a headshot is a professionally captured photograph of a person from the shoulders up, the photograph is cut or cropped in order to give focus to the person, not any product one is selling or background details. You’re probably thinking “okay so what’s the difference between a headshot and a portrait then?” The difference between a headshot and a portrait is distinguished with the model being camera aware and often looking directly at the camera with minimal posing and slight variations of facial expressions such as smiling with or without teeth and relaxing the mouth for a more neutral look.
