12 Steps to Create Amazing Smartphone Headshots

Sometimes it’s not convenient or within a persons budget to use a professional photographer for new headshots.

As a professional headshot and branding photographer I would highly recommend using a professional for many reasons and as l’m sure you’re aware, there is a lot more to a great headshot than just clicking the shutter button.

That said, here are twelve tips that will help you create your own DIY Professional Headshots!

I will add that I personally use an I-Phone and love the convenience of smart phone photography when I’m walking the dog etc. But, everyone’s skill level is as different as the phones they use and to that end I cannot guarantee your results, but do experiment with different settings, angles, lights etc and see what you can create.
