How Do Artists Take Headshots? Artist Headshot Ideas, Headshots For Artists
When it comes to artist headshots, there is no best headshot. Much of it will depend on the artist, their appearance, their wardrobe, their backgrounds, their studio, their environments, their artwork and most importantly what they want to convey.
Not everyone has all these answers so through a consultation, I will ask questions, examine spaces, assess wardrobes and image and get a feel of your work and personality.

In Situ Artist Portraits, Artist Studio Portraits – Artist Headshot Examples
There is nothing like capturing images of artists in their studio spaces. These are their domains and it’s important to capture the essence whether in a studio, home or natural environments in the case of street art.
I have the ability to bring in some complementary lighting and shoot during optimal times for best lighting.
Artistic Creative Portraits, Artistic Portrait Photography
When I take portraits of artists, I gauge their flow, style and comfort levels as to not interrupt them as they work. I am a fly on the wall but can also be engaging to create a fun, relaxed environment.
My photos will be a mix of posed shots and candid portraits. I want viewers to understand your thought process and approach to creating works.
Artist Headshot Tips – Artistic Portraits
That will depend on the environment as well as desired output of your photos. Some places might not be big enough for one type of photo or the other. Your photographer should be able to make recommendations based on space, lighting and aesthetics.
It will also depend on the subject, their body type and frame, as well as height of chairs and desks and what not.
Some people will have a preference for one or the other, but regardless of direction or preference, keep in mind the orientation and website requirements (most social media outlets favor a circular or square frame).
I typically provide a range of images (portrait, landscape, close-up, extra space) as to allow for cropping and various outlets.
