Vertical, Horizontal or Square for Headshots?

If you don’t have company specifications, it’s useful to choose headshots that can adapt to various cropping.

  • Profile pictures for platforms could be square or might be circular.

  • Business cards could vertical, although mostly likely horizontal (and some need dead space for text).

  • Social media, depending on platform, displays certain ratios to better advantages.

I keep all this in mind when I shoot. Your headshot should meet your expectations in every situation, even the ones you haven’t imagined yet! When you book, tell me about your business and I can help you brainstorm possible scenarios to be prepared for.
