First Impressions
A pageant headshot is the very first impression the judges have of the contestants, and that is why you want to make sure it is a good one. The purpose of the headshot is to give the judges a representation of yourself, but it can also help you stand out if it is done correctly.
Pageant headshot’s will differ a lot in style when it comes to what type of pageant you are competing in. If you are doing a Full Glitz pageant your headshot maybe more touched up rather than a Natural headshot which will only have minor retouches such as the darkness under your eyes, fly away hairs, and fixing of blemishes.
For a headshot you should wear a solid color that pops and works with your skin tone. Stay away from prints….they tend to be way to distracting and you want the judges focusing on your face. Now whether you smile or not you need to make sure you have welcoming eyes, in a photo your eyes can do all the talking.
Here are a few photographers I have personally worked with and some examples of their work:
Sarah Dumbas: Photo #1
David Captain: Photo # 2
Deanna Meredith: Photo # 3 & 4.. photo number four is more touched up and is for a glitz pageant.
