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

I would like to share my impressions of cooperation with Marfa. She is an extremely... read more talented photographer, because she sees not only the outside but also conveys what is inside a person. Marfa is a great psychologist who finds an individual approach to each person. I can also confidently say that it is not just a photo shoot, it is a specific charm, an atmosphere of lightness and easeness, frankness and intelligence. I appreciate every meeting with Marfa, because even before we start, I am sure of the high quality of the product and her professionalism. I would also like to emphasise that Marfa clearly sees trends and creates them by herself. She devotes a lot of time to social topics and reveals them by placing accents. Marfa has very diverse works and a wide portfolio. Being with Marfa means being honest with yourself, speak boldly and not be afraid of the consequences. Each time when I recommend Marfa to my friends, I get only positive feedback with gratitude.

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!

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)

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.
