linkedin headshots

Look like the person they'd actually want to message.

Modern LinkedIn headshots, taken properly. We light you, direct you, and edit you so you look like the version of you that's having the good week. Quick on the A12 from London.

LinkedIn headshots have one job: look credible, approachable and like the person someone would actually want to message. Most fail at one of those. We direct sessions to draw out the right level of energy — confident without smug, warm without overly informal. The retouching is restrained because over-polished headshots read fake. Most of our clients are founders, consultants, sales leaders and recruitment teams refreshing their pages, and the consistent feedback is the same: "I look like me, but the version of me having a good week."

How it works

booking linkedin headshots

From enquiry to delivery — here's exactly how the process runs.

book your session

45 minutes for a single person, full team day for 5+ people. Tell us about your brand colours so we can match the backdrop if relevant.

pre-shoot brief

A wardrobe and prep guide sent ahead — colours that work, what to avoid (logos, busy patterns), how to prep your skin.

shoot + delivery

Session, preview every frame with you, pick your favourite, retouched delivery within the week (or same-day rush for £40).

In the price

what's included

No upsells in the small print. The headline rate covers the kit and the room — add-ons are listed separately and you only pay for what you book.

45-minute session — focused, direction-heavy, designed to get one perfect headshot rather than a hundred mediocre ones.
Direction for camera-shy execs — most of our LinkedIn clients are not natural in front of a lens. We direct micro-expressions, posture, and energy.
Multiple backdrops — clean white, deep grey, branded colour, or window-light look. Match your company's brand or go neutral.
Square + 4:5 + vertical exports — every aspect ratio LinkedIn, Instagram, X, your website team page, and Slack thumbnails need.
1 retouched final, full-res + web-optimised — both formats delivered so you have one for print/large-format and one for digital.
Team-day discount for 5+ people — automatically applied at booking. Cheaper per-person and ensures consistency across the team.
