Headshots on Black

Often, my professional clients come to my photography studio in Orlando Florida needing a headshot that is strong and powerful, and may not realize that headshots on a black backdrop can be one of the most powerful headshots you can photograph.

I love white backdrops for this same reason, but for certain professions, like lawyers, sales representatives, etc., a black background can have a commanding effect. This look communicates strength, expertise, and that you mean business!

For this attorney, she wanted a look that helped her potential clients and peers know that she was excellent at what she does… a look that helped others know that she has a lot of experience and will get the job done. We did both more serious expressions and also a warmer expression, to communicate that while she is a lawyer, she is still approachable and easy to work with. In every headshot session, I try to capture several aspects of my clients’ personalities so they have a well-rounded set of headshots that can be used for a variety of reasons!

I encourage solid colored outfits for headshots on black. Because of how we are able to light headshot at our Orlando photography studio, even wearing a black shirt is no problem and can add an additional aspect of strength.
