For the business photoshoot for a CV or LinkedIn profile, we recommend business attire:

- Dark classical suits or strict dresses are preferable.
- You can wear light monotone shirts or shirts with light patterns.
- Accessories (such as ties, watches, jewellery or others) should not be too bright and distracting.
- Hair is clean and neatly styled.
- Please wear clean shoes that fit into your general style.

We recommend avoiding too bright colours and aggressive prints to ensure attention is brought to your face and eyes.

If you feel like these recommendations limit the expression of your individuality and you generally prefer unconventional clothing, shirts with large flowers or large heavy jewellery, please let us know in advance. We will make your outfit work with business style together.

Makeup plays an essential part in creating your professional image, hence let us offer a few recommendations:
- The best option is to use the services of a professional makeup artist, who can adapt makeup to the specific features of your face and will work with the photo lights. It can ensure ideal makeup throughout the whole photoshoot.

If you decide to do makeup yourself, please follow a few main rules:
- Use foundation or BB cream to even the tone of your skin and hide red spots and minor imperfections.
- Light application of shadows in neutral colours, such as beige, grey or brown, can help to highlight your eyes. Mascara should be applied accurately, avoiding lumps. If you use a liner, only use it lightly, keeping it thin and accurate.
- Eyebrows should be carefully styled and, if necessary, lightly tinted so that they look natural.
- Preferably, use lipstick in light tones, such as nude, pink or peach tones. Avoid too bright or dark colours. Lip gloss should be unobtrusive, and not too shiny.

Getting prepared to photoshoot for your CV, LinkedIn profile or personal website? Here is a list of things worth taking to ensure an easy shoot and results that exceed your expectations.

1. Take a few options of professional clothes to create varying styles. Take at least one dark and one light outfit.
2. Ties, pieces of jewellery, watches and other accessories, while small, make a difference. Take the ones that fit your business style.
3. While most of the portraits are usually close-ups, it is worth taking a pair of elegant shoes with you to do a full-body portrait. Ensure that the shoes are clean and in good condition.
4. Take a small set of cosmetics to touch up your makeup on the place, and your favourite hair brush.
5. If your skin is prone to shine, it is useful to have mattifying facial wipes or powder.
6. Your good mood. And we will always offer you a welcome drink and cookies :)

Usually, we set up our photo shoots in central Haarlem, Netherlands. If you have an idea that requires on-site photography, please get in touch with us with the details.

Usually professional photoshoot for a business profile takes about one hour. This time is enough to create a few quality and various pictures without a hurry. During the photoshoot, you will be able to change your outfit a couple of times so you have different options for your professional needs.

We can experiment with various backgrounds, both dark and light, to see what suits your style better.

Within 2-3 days after the photo shoot, you will get all good photos in colour correction. Please do not use them just yet. You will need to choose 5-7 of them for fine retouching. 3-5 days later, you get the final results you can put on LinkedIn, your website, and your CV.

You work for Harley Davidson and all the recommendations above do not feel like your style, you want to highlight your creativity, casual style, beautiful tattoos or just want to have fun on the photoshoot? No worries - just let us know in advance and we will make it work together with you.

If you want a photoshoot, but have something else in mind: be it pictures in tulip fields, lovestory in the historic centre of Haarlem etc.
