  • The terms are often used interchangeably. But there are some differences. This video will explain the differences and show you some example images to give you a better understanding. You'll also be better equipped to communicate with your photographer about what you need to represent your professional self, and why.

    Very well explained. Headshot photo is actually good to use for profile picture and resume.

      Seah Altura yes, for something like LinkedIn, a tight headshot is a must.

    I guess you could say that head shots are more functional and portraits more personal and artistic? I never realized there was a difference until now.

    Great video - I picked up a Canon m50 and hope to see more information from your channel on how to use it properly! I met you through Sunny and you def have a new subscriber!

    Seems like it is the same but now i get the difference.

    How will you change up your images now that you know the differences?

    I have always wanted to ask an experienced photographer why headshots are most frequently now the head is cut off. I understand the rule of thirds and that the idea is to get the eyes as the main focus however I think it looks odd when the top of the head is cut off. I suppose if you do a headshot for a corporate website you would want the whole head and I guess cutting off the head is a bit of an artistic choice but I still can't get used to it and think it looks strange.

      Yes, I don’t crop as tight as I used to. It’s just not very functional for most use cases.

    • @dab7963
      @dab7963 Před rokem +1

      @@scottlawrencephoto been playing with both and I am warming to the closer crop.

    Great videos really appreciate it !
    The guide that you give was that a template that I would be able to purchase and use I really like how you have that laid out?

    • @scottlawrencephoto
      @scottlawrencephoto  Před 2 lety

      Thanks John, It's not currently setup as a template, but I can look into that. Drop me an email at scott@scottlawrencephoto.com in the meantime. Maybe we can work something out.
