What “Best” Really Means for Headshots
Great headshots balance clean lighting, flattering angles, and natural expression. For San Antonio professionals, the goal is credibility and approachability across multiple platforms—LinkedIn, your company site, ERAS, Zillow bios, and press features. You should look like the best version of yourself without plastic-looking edits.
Checklist for Choosing a Photographer
- Portfolio consistency: Do skin tones look natural across different clients?
- Guided posing: Subtle coaching for posture, jawline, and expression is essential.
- Lighting control: Studio-style or natural light that flatters without harsh shadows.
- Natural retouching: Distraction cleanup while preserving real skin texture.
- Use-case planning: Crops and files sized for LinkedIn, websites, print, and banners.
- On-location options: Ability to match backdrops to your brand and neighborhood.
