When taking pictures for headshots, if using a backdrop what is the best colour to go for?

  • @Octavio Di Gianni Thank you so much, these will be for LinkedIn headshots, I don't know excatly who I will be shooting, so grey seems like the best option.

    @Nicholas Lapite it is for a LinkedIn session for students, so I'm assuming a diverse range of people
  • I think it's really important to take the skintone into consideration. We should try to compensate the tone with the opposite. So for redheads and pinkish skin, I'd use some tone of muted green, as of for darker skins it's much better to use blue or orange, depending on the tone again. If you have doubts, it's always great to use a gray or muted background. They suit all sorts of skins!
