You can take headshots with your phone, too.

  1. Recruit a friend to be your photographer:  Technically, you can do this yourself, holding the phone at a distance for a selfie, but it’s easier if someone helps you.
  2. Find a neutral space for your background: A blank wall indoors or outdoors with limited distractions works best. One easy way to blur your background is to use “portrait mode” on your smartphone when taking the photo. If your phone does not have a portrait mode option, there are several apps that allow you to blur the background of your photos.
  3. Plan your lighting: When taking professional photos indoors, try to avoid shadows and turn off indoor lighting. Avoid overhead lights. Try to place yourself in front of a window for natural lighting. When taking photos outdoors, try to take them on a cloudy day. If you cannot wait for a cloudy day, avoid the sun hitting your face directly or from behind you.
  4. Adjust the phone: Hold the phone at eye level, or slightly above it. Another reason to recruit a friend: they can use the back camera as opposed to the front, since the back camera is usually higher quality.
  5. Wear the right clothes: Professional and neutral clothing works best. Find a shirt/top that contrasts with your background. Avoid busy patterns and graphics.
