A headshot can help you make a good first impression both online and in-person. The most common types of headshots are: business, actor, model, and personal. It is generally recommended to update your photo every 2-3 years.

• If you are applying for a new position. This will give the employer great first impression.
• If you are launching a new business or product. A new look can make you look more professional to your customers.
• If you are using your headshot for marketing materials. If you plan to use your photo on your website or business card, its important to make sure its up to date.
• If you don't like your current photo. Get a new one that you will love and makes you feel confident.

Here are a few tips for getting a great headshot:

• Choose the right photographer. A good photographer will capture your best features.
