Professional Headshot Photography in Fort Wayne and Indianapolis

Sometimes, even the best selfies won’t do! If your goal is to get hired for an important position or an acting or modeling job, a professional headshot can help influence decision-making in your favor. The headshots we take show you in the best possible light.

Why Do You Need a Professional Headshot?

A well-made headshot is ideal when you want to project a more professional image. Here are just a few of the ways our high-quality headshots can be used:

Entertainment Industry

One of the most well known purposes of headshots is self-promotion in the entertainment field. For actors, models and musicians, headshots are a must! Headshots put a face to a name that is on a resume. In the entertainment field especially, headshots help potential employers and casting directors choose the right people with the right appearances.

When it comes to headshots in the entertainment field, there are different formats of headshots. Usually, it is recommended that actors provide 8 inch by 11inch headshots. An actor’s resume must be stapled to the back of the headshots so that whoever is looking at the headshot can easily flip it over to view the resume. The resume should be stapled to the headshot at each corner, with a total of four staples.

Resume and Social Media Use

Headshots are not only great for entertainers -- they are also great for people who are seeking out ordinary occupations. It is a good idea to get headshots of you dressed in professional attire so that you can put them on your social media, especially career-oriented sites such as LinkedIn.

If you have your own website, you can put your headshot there, too. Headshots are also great for any other place where you need to put a professional-looking, professionally-made image of yourself. That makes them ideal for use in networking, too.

Career Listing and Freelance Websites

There are some websites that businesses go through to find employees. These websites require applicants to upload “headshots.” Headshots are also great if you are using freelance websites and apps that require you to upload a picture of yourself.

Professional Headshots for Business Directories

An “About Us” or “Our Staff” page looks so much more polished when it has professional headshots of all the team members, and CK Photography is the choice for many Fort Wayne and Indianapolis businesses when they need professional photography. We can update your entire staff directory and keep it updated, with a fresh consistent overall look that will move your company forward.

Headshot Quality

There are a variety of things that you might hear different types of headshots should have. For example, many people say that headshots for acting should not have a busy background—a busy background referring to something that catches your eye. If you look through the gallery of headshots on this page, you’ll see how much good lighting and a plain background let your image shine.
