Headshots on a White Backdrop
Headshots on a White Backdrop for Orlando Florida Professionals
Throughout all my years as a headshot photographer, the one thing that never goes out of style are headshots on a white backdrop. These photos are the most timeless, powerful, versatile, and modern headshots you can get. There are a few different ways to light headshots on a white background. Sometimes, I like to go for a more soft or subtle white that still has shadowing and depth behind my professional, but other times when I’m looking for something bright, punchy, and captivating, I will use a light itself for my backdrop. Both options work great for most professionals in the Orlando area. Here are what the different headshot lighting techniques look like so you can see which option would be best for your profession
Why a White Backdrop is Usually the Best Choice for Your Professional Business Headshots
Both of these headshots were taken using the brightest white backdrop technique, using a large light itself as the backdrop. This headshot technique allows a beautiful wrap-around of light. When paired with a strong front strobe and some black edging (out of frame) to help create depth and shadows, these headshots are punchy, bold, and fun.
In both headshot cases, you will find these images incredibly professional, crisp, and powerful. This is why we love this backdrop choice so much for Orlando profesisonals!
Below, we have a softer white backdrop, which creates a more environmental appeal, while still being crisp, professional, and modern. This type of lighting creates a bit more depth and drama to the headshots and professional portrait.
If you are looking for a headshot or set of professional portraits that is timeless, relevant, and bold, choose a white backdrop. White background headshots are also great because they work perfectly with any color scheme for your business brand, and they look great in LinkedIn and on business cards and social media.

A white background is the best color for your headshot
because it allows you to shine. You are, after all, a star in your profession (or at least, that is what we would love to communicate to your clients!
A white background will make sure that all of the focus is on you, your smile, and the warmth in your smile, rather than on something distracting like a pattern or color that might draw attention away from you.
If you're going to be a model, then this is especially important! You want people looking at your face when they see your headshot. So go with white and make sure they can't look anywhere else!

A few other things to consider for your professional orlando headshots:
When you take a headshot with your face against a colored background, the color of that background will affect the way it looks in the picture. For example, if you were taking a photo of someone with red hair on a green background and then tried out different color combinations like blue or black backgrounds, it would be hard to see any difference in how they looked because they'd all end up being slightly greenish-red instead of pure red.
That's why when we take headshots at Palm Lake Headshots, we use white as our main backdrop and then add other colors in later if needed—it helps keep us from negatively affecting our subject's skin tone and making them look unnatural in photos!
Headshots on white are best for groups and teams
We usually recommend a white seamless paper backdrop when you have a group of employees to be photographed at once. This way, everyone is sure to look professional, consistent, and GREAT, as this color works for all skin types, hair colors, and outfits.
