Top Professional Headshot Backgrounds For Any Headshot

 What colour of the background is the best for my professional business portrait or headshot? This is one of the frequently asked questions.  The answer  depends on a couple of factors:

your colour skin, the colour of your cloth, the shape and size of your face, the message that you would like to deliver to your prospective customers.

Let start with a white backdrop. The white backdrop could be used for anyone Most companies require a plain white or not dark colour background. It’s tried and true and looks great for anyone, male or female. The photographers have to know how to light the backdrop properly to get pure white or gradient of white colour.

We love to use a white backdrop for slim females. The backdrop allows creating the magazine-style images where all the face is lightening evenly. This helps to create a younger look and to reduce extensive photo editing during the retouching process. The white backdrop looks awesome for light colour skins. The white backdrop can’t be used for creating the slimming light or dramatic look.

Light or Dark Grey Backdrop for business headshots.

The light grey backdrop is different in comparison to the white one.  This backdrop is giving more options for the customer from point of view sculpturing the face. The photographer can make you slimmer by using light brushes and to achieve the look that is hiding face imperfections.

Old Masters Grey or Brown Backdrops for business headshots.

The old master grey backdrop is a hand-painted canvas with dark and light grey textures. The photographer can make the backdrop darker or brighter by using the different directions of the light.

This allows matching perfectly your dress code, backdrop and at the same time to light your face properly to achieve the desired look. This background is the number one choice for not slim customers or the customers with big size of the face. The light allows to make the person to slimmer and to reduce the size of the body or face. The backdrop is the number one choice for LinkedIn, business cards, websites and other marketing publications. The backdrop is great for light and dark colour skins.

We have a lot of customers that do prefer the brown colours of the backdrop.  This backdrop is similar to the old master grey backdrop but helps to match brown and black colour skins, brown hair or brown dress code.

Pure Black Backdrops for business headshots.

The pure black backdrop is frequently asked backdrop for acting or portfolio photography. The background helps to create a unique dramatic look. The back colour helps to slim the face and body and allows to create a unique backlighting effect. We love to use the backdrop for family, newborn, acting headshots and maternity photography.
