Why and how often you should update your headshot

Did you know that 90% of people who plan to interact with you will look you up online first? Did you know that people are less likely to trust you if your headshot and actual appearance don’t match up? Those are only two of the many reasons your headshot needs to be professional and current.

If you've recently changed your hair colour or length, significantly changed your appearance, started wearing glasses, changed roles within a company, or moved to a new organization, it's time to update your headshot. Most importantly, if the headshot you're using was taken before 2021, it's time for a new one. We all age, fashion and styles change, camera gear improves, and photography standards evolve, so you should update your headshot at least every three years. Having a professional upto date headshot shows the world that you take your profession and, most importantly, yourself seriously.
