You’ve booked a headshot photography session. Now you wonder about makeup, what to wear, and even how to match it to the colour of the backdrop. The good news is that we have a range of solid-coloured backdrops for your headshots. Choosing a backdrop colour impacts the mood of your image. So here are some questions to ask yourself as you debate the best backdrop colour for your headshots.
- What are my brand colours?
- Does the backdrop colour blend in well with the other images on my website?
- What is my purpose for creating these headshots?
- What kind of mood do I want to create?
Most corporate headshots are photographed against neutral colours like white, light grey, dark grey, or black. The neutral colours ensure that the focus is on you, as the subject. It goes well with most outfit colours and projects a professional look. A white backdrop gives a light, airy look that feels clean and pure. Black somehow has an element of mystery, prestige, and luxury. Grey is a great option for most professionals and looks good on everyone.
We do have other options like light blue, brown or textured black. If you have specific requirements with unique colours, it can be arranged too! Alternatively, you could choose to photograph your headshots against your office environment or outdoors. These create a different set of images that have a completely different visual impact.
So there you have it, a simple guide on how to choose the best backdrop colour for your headshot session at our studio.
