My name is Dan Cantero and I am a professional headshot photographer based in Sydney. I have photographed thousands of people and over the years, I have learned what it takes to get a headshot photograph that get people noticed for the right reasons.

 

Expression

Before the camera clicks, it is important to remember that a headshot photo should reflect your personality and who you are. A good headshot must capture an expression that speaks to others about the kind of person you are and what makes you unique. Most people are uncomfortable in front of the camera. Unless you are a trained actor, you will most likely not be able to hide this and it will come across in the photograph. This is something that most people need coaching with. Most of the time, it only takes the smallest of movements to get the perfect look. Your expression is going to be the thing that makes people like you or not like you. It speaks volumes about who you are so you need to make it count by communicating the right message.worth it in the end. Of course, if you want to fast track this process, you can hire a professional headshot photographer and let them take care of the whole process for you.

Posing

Posing is something that needs to be learned. Posing can make a huge difference to the outcome of your headshot. The way you position your body, the angle of your posing and even the tilt of your head can all have an impact on the photo. My clients mostly come from the Sydney area and if you want to stand out from all the other corporate headshots in Sydney, then having an interesting pose will be key to getting noticed amongst other people. It normally takes around 5-10 minutes to teach someone everything they need to pose for a photograph. Once you learn this, you will use it every time someone points a camera at you.that are second to none.

There is no reason that anyone can’t get a great photo if you research each one of these steps and implement them when taking a headshot photo. It take a bit of effort but the results are really worth it in the end.

Lighting

The majority of people take headshot photos during the day or in rooms with one large window. This is not ideal as it often creates a harsh light that will make your face look flat and unappealing. You can use natural light to create some really nice portraits and headshot photos but if you want to take it to the next level, you need to have access to some professional lighting and you more importantly you need to know how to use it. It takes years to master the art of lighting and most people never get to that level. It is something that I have been doing for over 10 years now so I am able to create amazing headshot photos for my corporate headshots that are second to none.
