Sadly, and illogically, people tend to "save money" by using an image they take on their phone or get someone cheap to take it. If you have a cheap looking portrait you will probably not get near as much business as if you have a very nice business portrait that presents you in a flattering way! It's just human nature and you can't fight human nature. It's just in our nature to do business with a person who appeals to us, a person who looks good and also presents an aura of capability within the industry they represent.
An executive portrait is generally taken of a person who holds a high position of responsibility in a company. The portrait taken of this person must reflect the responsibility that the person has, leading this company in the correct direction. So in this instance you would probably want a well-dressed person and with great grooming such as hair combed, properly shaved and all of these things. That puts together the total package of an executive or employee (or perspecitve hiree) who is in control and leading their company in the right direction. People tend to gravitate to those who look the part. For better or worse... it's just the way it is!
I have seen many business head shots around. I've seen them at grocery stores, banks, hospitals and other institutions and some look very nice and others look terrible. When I going to one of these businesses and I see someone who looks like they were photographed against the wall with a cell phone camera, it just doesn't look very professional. The lighting is not right, the photography is not right, all the peoples facial imperfections show, and worst of all it doesn't benefit or worse, even degrades the company that person represents.
Realtor portraits are very important. Most of the time a realtor is either chosen by word-of-mouth or by the photograph that they present in different magazines, flyers and other publications. A realtor's portrait must look presentable and nice, they can't look too happy or too serious. If in the realtor headshot the person looks too happy or goofy, you will think that maybe they're not really taking their job seriously. If in the realtor headshot the person looks too serious, then one might think that they're not very people friendly and thus would have a hard time selling your home or property. I would not have any problem at all using the realtor in this blog post.
