How to show up powerfuly in
Your Corporate
Headshot?
The Face of Professional Success
More Than Just a Headshot
It’s Your Professional First Impression
Your headshot isn’t just a photo – it’s your first handshake
your digital elevator pitch, and the face of your professional story. That’s why creating a great corporate headshot is about more than lighting and angles. It’s about showing up with confidence, intention, and a sense of who you are.
Be True to Your Style
Forget stiff suits and generic looks. A great headshot should feel like you, just elevated. Whether your vibe is buttoned-up, business-casual, or creative professional, wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable.
Lead with Presence
The best expressions aren’t forced smiles or serious stares – they’re the ones that reflect your energy. At LR Morgan Photography, I’ll guide you through subtle adjustments in posture and eye contact to help you feel grounded and present in the frame.
Confidence is the Real Focus
What really sets a great headshot apart? It’s not just great lighting or a flattering angle – it’s how you feel in the moment. That’s why I create a relaxed, encouraging space where you can let your guard down and shine.
Show Up Authentically
Your headshot should tell a story – your story. Whether you’re a startup founder, a corporate executive, or a creative professional, your photo should speak to who you are and what you bring to the table.
FAQ
Quick Answers to Common Questions.
What makes a headshot "powerful" beyond lighting and framing?
A powerful headshot is more than technical quality – it’s about presence. As LR Morgan emphasizes, your headshot functions as your “first handshake” and “digital elevator pitch,” conveying confidence, intention, and personality from the moment it’s seen
Should I dress very formally, or can I reflect my personal style?
Forget stiff, generic formalwear. Whether your look is buttoned-up, business-casual, or creatively inspired, your attire should feel like “you, just elevated.” The goal is authenticity – don’t sacrifice your style for tradition
How can I appear more grounded and natural in the photo?
Forced smiles or blank stares won’t convey energy. LR Morgan suggests subtle adjustments to posture and eye contact to help you feel present in the frame. The best expressions reflect your natural energy – not something staged or rehearsed
What is the photographer’s role in helping me show up authentically?
A great photographer sets the tone. LR Morgan creates a relaxed, encouraging environment that allows you to feel comfortable and confident. This atmosphere helps strip away tension – so the real you can shine through in the final image
