ARE EDITORIAL HEADSHOTS THE NEW NORMAL?

Over the past few years the trend for headshots to feel more editorial in their style has grown. Im partial to all different styles but think they have to be tailored for the individual.. Editorial headshots whilst very current and trendy in their style aren’t right for everyone. Someone more traditional or formal may feel awkward in this looser style.

But! what they do add is visual interest and creativity to what can sometimes be a bit simple in a classic headshot. I love the use of colour, furniture and posing you can incorporate and above images are just some examples of what might make an editorial headshot.

The can be specifically useful for Comedians, Influencers and Models as they tell a bit more story and lead the viewer closer to what the subject has to offer in more detail. But for all Actors I think they’re useful alongside a casting headshot to show character and even just provide more varied content on social channels.
