For men, it\u2019s hard to go wrong with a collared shirt and tie. Whereas for women, a blazer, a pair of slacks or a dress are always safe bets. Avoid flashy patterns and statement jewelry. That said, it\u2019s important to ask yourself how you plan on using these photos and what part of your personality you want to highlight. If this is for your LinkedIn profile, then by all means, wear that suit. But if you plan on throwing this up on your dating profiles, a more relaxed, easygoing look should do the trick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1202\" data-id=\"8156\" src=\"https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SFAllebach-2961-1800x1202.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SFAllebach-2961-1800x1202.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SFAllebach-2961-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SFAllebach-2961.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1733\" height=\"1300\" data-id=\"8155\" src=\"https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_4577-1733x1300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_4577-1733x1300.jpg 1733w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_4577-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_4577.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1733px) 100vw, 1733px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1202\" data-id=\"8154\" src=\"https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SFAllebach-3265-1800x1202.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SFAllebach-3265-1800x1202.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SFAllebach-3265-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SFAllebach-3265.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1202\" data-id=\"8152\" src=\"https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nikki-2-1800x1202.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nikki-2-1800x1202.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nikki-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nikki-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"8153\" src=\"https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_5530-1800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_5530-1800x1200.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_5530-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_5530.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What should I do with my hair for my headshot?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend styling your hair in its natural state or going for a simple, neat look.
