What is a headshot?
A headshot is more than just a portrait or a selfie. It's a professional business portrait that shapes people's first impression of you and becomes an important part of your personal brand.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, an executive, an expert, a doctor, a lawyer, an IT specialist or a creative professional, a quality headshot photograph helps build trust, highlights your competence and makes your image more recognizable.
The defining feature of a headshot is clarity, simplicity and minimalism. There's nothing extra in the frame — no distracting details, just you. The composition is built so that the main focus falls on your face and, above all, your eyes. It's the eyes that create an emotional connection with whoever sees the photo.
A professional headshot is perfect for LinkedIn, a corporate website, a resume, media publications, social media, personal branding, conference talks and any situation where making a strong first impression matters.
Why do you need a headshot?
First of all, because you probably don't have one yet. 🙂
Many people still use photos for LinkedIn, corporate websites or social media that simply don't fit a professional profile. A selfie, a vacation snapshot, a fishing trip photo, a party picture, or a blurry photo from ten years ago — sound familiar?
The problem is that people who don't know you personally yet form their first impression from that photo. And it takes them just a few seconds to do it.
A professional headshot helps present you the way you want to be perceived: confident, competent, approachable and trustworthy.
My job is to create a business portrait that sets you apart from colleagues and competitors, highlights your individuality, and becomes a powerful tool for your career, personal brand or business.
Because you only get one chance to make a first impression.

About Me
My name is Evgeny Evstifeev. I'm a professional photographer, working in commercial photography since 2013.
Over the years I've worked with brands, entrepreneurs, executives and experts, helping create photographs that work for their reputation, personal brand and business.
Today my main focus is headshot photography and business portraits. I believe a good portrait isn't just a nice photo — it's a tool that helps make a strong first impression and build trust.
During the shoot I help with posing, facial expression and picking the best shots, so even people stepping in front of a professional camera for the first time feel comfortable.
The best way to judge a photographer is to look at their work. Check out the Services section, and if my style speaks to you, I'd be glad to meet in person and create photographs you'll be using for years to come.

Getting Ready for Your Shoot
A few simple tips so the result exceeds your expectations
01
Outfit
Choose your outfit based on the purpose of the shoot: business, resume — formal attire; social media — casual. Pick solid, calm, neutral colors (white, gray, black, light blue). Avoid bright prints so they don't distract from your face. Shirts, blazers, sweaters and turtlenecks all work well.
02
Makeup
For women, I strongly recommend light, natural, fresh professional makeup for the shoot. It evens out skin tone, hides minor imperfections and gives your face a polished look on camera. Men don't need makeup.
03
Jewelry & Accessories
Keep details to a minimum. Simple stud earrings or an understated watch are fine. Any bulky accessory draws attention to itself and distracts from the main subject of the photo — you.
04
General Tips
- Get a good night's sleep before the shoot — it always shows on camera.
- Clean hair and a natural style.
- Avoid harsh cosmetic procedures for 2-3 days before the session.
FAQ
How do I book a session?
You get in touch with me however is convenient for you, we discuss the details of the shoot, and book a date.
When will the photos be ready?
It depends on the package. Within a day after the shoot I'll send you a link where you can look through your photos again and make your final selection.
Payment
Payment is made in cash or by card after the shoot is finished.
Can I get all the photos?
I give you every good shot you like, professionally color-graded. The Headshot package includes detailed retouching of 5 photos you choose. If you'd like more shots retouched in detail, each additional photo costs 1,000 rubles.
I don't photograph well — what should I do?
Don't worry :) I'll help you find your best angle, and we'll work together on your gaze and expression. On top of that, the photos show up on the monitor right away, so you can see the result, adjust it, and point out what you like.
What format will I receive my photos in?
The photos are delivered digitally via a file-sharing link, in maximum resolution (for print, for example) and in a version optimized for the web.
Do you retouch the photos?
Yes, I retouch photos while trying to keep the editing as natural as possible, preserving skin texture, so the photo looks like you and not a plastic doll. If you have noticeable skin issues, scars, or other details, I retouch them after checking with you first.
Why do you crop the top of the head?
The main reason is making the most of the frame. The key thing in a headshot is showing your face and expression, at the cost of the top of the frame and clothing. If the crown of the head stays in the frame, the share of the frame given to your face shrinks right away. This kind of photo also looks better on various websites, especially on mobile. There are cases where the crown should stay in frame (an ID photo, for example) — we discuss that before the shoot.
Do you only shoot headshots?
I work across several photography genres: event photography, catalogs, clipping path work, street style and more. You can see these photos in the Services section.
