Good, Better, Best: Understanding Your Headshot Options in the Age of AI
AI headshots are adequate, and they get the job done. But when you are serious about the story your image tells, you might want something better. And if you are representing your brand, go for the best. Let’s talk about why Excalibur Portraits in Minneapolis offers the best headshots for individuals, corporate events, and teams when AI just won’t cut it.
The Black and White Decision: A Considered Approach to Professional Headshots
The choice between color and black and white isn't a problem with a single solution. It's a decision that requires you to understand your professional context, your brand positioning, your industry expectations, and your personal objectives.
What we can tell you definitively: either choice can be executed brilliantly or poorly. The format matters far less than the expertise, planning, and intentionality behind it.
What Makes a Good Headshot?
Your headshot will be seen by potential clients, partners, board members, and future employers. In Minneapolis's competitive business environment, you need every advantage you can get. Why settle for ordinary when extraordinary is within reach?
Avoid These Headshot Faux Pas
Your professional headshot is a critical component of your personal brand. But did you know that seemingly small errors in headshot photography can undermine your image? Many photographers overlook these common mistakes, known as "headshot faux pas." At Excalibur Portraits, we specialize in professional photography, and we're dedicated to helping you avoid these pitfalls. Our expert photographers ensure your headshot is polished, authentic, and perfectly represents your professional brand.
We’ll Never tell you to smile. Here’s why…
When people say things like “I never take good pictures” or “I really don’t like how I look in pictures,” it’s almost always because they don’t know how to smile. If that’s you, it’s not your fault, and here’s how to fix it.
When you need a headshot, use a headshot specialist
Specialists exist in every field, and that includes photography. Just like you wouldn't want to read a children's book written by someone who specializes in writing instruction manuals, hiring a photographer who specializes in headshots can make a world of difference when you need a professional portrait that tells the right story.
