Powerful Headshots that Deliver a Lasting First Impression

Vikrant offers professional headshot and personal branding sessions that convey confidence, approachability, and your unique personality. Crafted for leaders, actors, artists, coaches, executives, entrepreneurs, and speakers, this session helps you showcase your credibility and professionalism, opening doors even before you walk in.

What is a headshot, and why should I invest in one?

A headshot is a close-up professional portrait of a person—usually from the shoulders up—crafted to showcase your personality, confidence, and credibility. It’s a powerful tool and often your first impression—whether you’re an actor, keynote speaker, life coach, entrepreneur, corporate professional, or creative. 

In an increasingly digital world, a polished headshot indicates that you take your career seriously. It communicates trust, approachability, and professionalism. Your headshot becomes your visual handshake, whether on your LinkedIn profile, company website, casting submissions, press kits, or social media.

Investing in a professional headshot session with Vikrant, one of the best professional headshot photographers that Philadelphia has to offer, ensures that not only does your headshot look good, but it also aligns with your brand, goals, and your intended audience.

How do I dress and prepare for my professional headshots?

Before booking your headshot session, take some time to understand what your brand is, and why you want your headshots. Once you’re clear, the next step is to decide what to wear, and do your hair & makeup. While I offer the option of hiring my on-set expert hair & makeup artist (at a nominal extra charge) with my headshot session, I also recommend doing a few trials if you’re doing it on your own, or hiring someone of your choice. For the outfits, a simple yet fitted attire in solid colors, with no flashy logos or bold prints, works the best. I talk more about how to prep for your headshot session in this blog. 

I don’t like getting my photos taken…

That’s completely fine – not everybody is born camera-confident! As one of the top headshot photographers in Philadelphia, it is my job to make you look like a cover model.
