Vertical, Horizontal or Square for Headshots?

If you don’t have company specifications, it’s useful to have a headshot that can handle many purposes. Profile pictures for platforms (could be square, might be circular). Business cards (could be vertical, might be horizontal with dead space for text). Social media (any format, although some platforms display certain ratios to better advantages).

I keep all this in mind when I shoot. Your headshot should meet your expectations in every situation, even the ones you haven’t imagined yet! When you book, tell me about your business and I can help you brainstorm possible scenarios to be prepared for.
