WHAT"s RIGHT
This is an attractive woman, with nicely done hair and makeup. Her expression is great, the eyes are not squinted, etc. My photo it technically good with lighting and pose. So far so good...
WHAT"s WRONG
You want your headshot to focus on your face, not your clothes or jewelry/accessories. This client did not follow my preparation guidelines and, as you can see, what is probably a fine blazer in person, in a business headshot becomes distracting -- too many lines and details calling the eye to it, and off of her face. You want to wear solid colors, of if your fabric has patterns in it, make them so tiny that they are barely noticeable.
Next is the jewelry. It is a nice necklace, but not for a business headshot. Too much and, again, distracting from her face. Keep your necklace to a small gold chain, of if you must wear pearls, make them very, very small pearls.
CONCLUSION
Given that your business headshot or corporate portrait is an opportunity to make a great impression on your business prospects and existing peers alike, it serves your interests to make sure it is done right.
