--- Does this work as a headshot or is it too wide?

Headshots typically measure between 8x10 inches to 12x18 inches.

An image wider than 12 inches from shoulder to shoulder may not be ideal for a headshot.

A width of 8-10 inches is considered ideal for a headshot.

Wider images may not be suitable for professional settings such as LinkedIn profiles or job applications.

If an image accurately captures the subject's face and conveys their professional persona, it can still be used despite being slightly wider.

If an image has a different aspect ratio, it may not effectively convey the subject's professional image.

Headshots are typically set against a neutral background to eliminate distractions.

The eyes are the most important part of a headshot, as they draw the viewer in and establish a connection.

The rule of thirds can ensure the eyes are the focal point of the headshot.

Business headshots are used for company websites, business cards, press releases, and presentations.

Blurred or poorly taken headshots do not create a good first impression.

The best focal length for headshots is typically between 85mm and 135mm.

A 50mm lens can distort facial features, while a longer focal length can create a more flattering image.

A wide-angle lens can create a fisheye effect and distort facial features.
