Best Colors for Professional Headshots in Amsterdam

Professional Headshot Color Selection Guide for Corporate Photography in Amsterdam

Finding Your Perfect Color Palette that matches your skin and hair color with colorwise.me

At Business Photo NL, we understand that choosing the right colors for your professional portraits goes beyond picking your favorite shade.

Before your photoshoot, we recommend using https://colorwise.me professional color analysis tool to determine your best colors.

Hair Color Harmonization

  • Dark Hair:
    • Strong, deep colors create a beautiful contrast
    • Rich jewel tones complement the natural depth
  • Blonde Hair:
    • Softer, medium-depth colors
    • Navy, plum, and forest green enhance natural coloring
  • Red Hair:
    • Earth tones and deep greens
    • Avoid pink and bright red that compete with hair color
  • Grey/Silver Hair:
    • Clear, pure colors
    • Soft, cool tones enhance natural sophistication

Why Patterns and Mixed Colors Don’t Work in Professional Headshots

The Science Behind Visual Distraction

  1. Eye Movement Patterns
    • Human eyes naturally seek patterns and movement
    • Busy patterns create constant eye movement
    • This pulls attention away from your face and expression
    • In professional headshots, your face should be the focal point
  2. Cognitive Load
    • Multiple colors and patterns increase visual processing
    • Viewers spend more time analyzing clothing than facial features
    • Reduces the immediate impact of your professional presence
  3. Digital Considerations
    • Patterns can create moiré effects in digital images
    • Mixed colors may clash on different screen displays
    • Complex patterns often don’t translate well to smaller formats (like LinkedIn thumbnails)

Impact on Professional Image

  1. Memory Retention
    • People remember faces better when they’re not competing with busy clothing
    • Simple, solid colors create a stronger professional impression
    • Clean visual presentation suggests organizational skills
  2. Brand Consistency
    • Solid colors align better with corporate branding
    • Simple color choices appear more intentional and professional
    • Easier to maintain a consistent look across different platforms

Usually I don't like photography, it seems that there is another person in the pictures.... read more But this time with such great master Marfa I got not only confidence that I can look good in the photo, but also satisfaction from the process itself. It was very easy and fun with her. At first I was little depressed because of the weather, but she made me feel so free and smile sincerely at the end! I’m very grateful for this day.

  • I have enjoyed our photoshoot with Marfa a lot! She has created such a great... read more atmosphere that the session went super productive and relaxed way. She also was giving the advices during the process about the face expression and the pose, which was very helpful for me. The photos which I've received after just 15 minutes photoshoot are fantastic! Can't choose which one to use for my account. Definitely recommend!

  • It's my second time working with Marfa for business portraits. She prepares you well for... read more the photo shoot, listens to what you want to achieve, and has a way of making people feel at ease during the session. This is important when working with a photographer. She also checks in and shows you some results during the shot to make sure that you'll be happy with your images later. Post-production and retouching of the selected images are enhancements resulting in authentic results that are of high quality and look professional. I recommend her and her services.

She makes sure to find together with client exactly that picture client needs. And it makes it really valuable photoshoot and the result you want. Was lovely collab with Marfa as a photographer and nice person)
