A professional headshot session is a photography session specifically designed to capture images of an individual's head and shoulders typically used for professional purposes, such as for a LinkedIn profile, business website, marketing materials, aspiring or established actors/actresses/models, etc. The photographer will typically work with the individual to achieve the desired look and style, and will provide guidance on clothing, makeup, and poses. The resulting images are usually high-quality, professionally edited and retouched, and can be used for personal and professional branding purposes.
