Headshots vs. Branding Photos – What’s the Difference?

Both headshots and branding photos are essential for professionals and entrepreneurs, but they serve different purposes. Understanding the distinction helps you choose the right type of photography to represent you and your brand effectively.

1. Headshots: The Professional First Impression

headshot is a close-up portrait that focuses on the subject’s face, typically from the shoulders up. It’s meant to convey professionalism, approachability, and confidence.

Key Features of Headshots:

✔ Tightly framed – Usually just the face and shoulders
✔ Neutral or simple background – Clean, uncluttered look
✔ Minimal props & styling – Focus is on the subject
✔ Used for:

LinkedIn profiles, Business websites, Corporate directories, Speaking engagements, Press releases and more

2. Branding Photos: Showcasing Personality & Business

Branding photos go beyond just a headshot—they capture a person’s personality, style, and business story through a series of images. These photos show you in action, highlight your workspace, and incorporate props or backgrounds that reflect your brand identity.

Key Features of Branding Photos:

✔ Variety of shots – Close-ups, mid-shots, full-body, action shots
✔ Personalized backgrounds – Office, studio, outdoor locations
✔ Outfits & props that reflect your brand – Laptop, camera, notebook, coffee mug, etc.
✔ Used for:

Personal & business websites, Social media (Instagram, Facebook, etc.), Marketing materials & ads, Speaking events & promotions and more
