Corporate / Formal headshots
The Corporate / Formal style is the safe, high-trust choice: tailored attire, a neutral studio-grey backdrop and composed, even lighting. It reads as competent and serious — exactly what conservative fields expect.
When to choose it
Pick this for law, finance, accounting, consulting, banking and senior or board-level roles — anywhere a polished, traditional impression matters more than personality. It’s also the most reliable look for a formal company directory.
How to get the most from it
Wear a dark suit or structured blazer, keep accessories minimal, and choose a neutral background. The aim is for nothing to distract from a calm, confident expression and clear eye contact.

Frequently asked questions
Is Corporate / Formal too stiff for LinkedIn?
Not for senior or conservative roles, where it signals authority. If your field is more relaxed, Business Casual will feel warmer while still looking professional.
What should I wear for a formal headshot?
A dark suit or a structured blazer over a plain top, with minimal accessories. Solid, muted colours photograph best against a neutral backdrop.
