Individual Headshots Portrait and Lifestyle Photography

What’s the difference between a headshot vs. a portrait?

Headshots are a type of portrait and are generally used for bio pages, profile photos on social media, and employee intranet photos, for example.
Headshots are typically lit more evenly with your face straight forward, and serve as a general representation of what you look like (while still looking awesome of course, it's not a passport photo).
Portraits can get a little more creative with the photographic style. You can be looking off to the side instead of straight at the camera. The lighting can be moodier or brighter or more stylized. The colors can be more intense and the clothing you choose can be more stylistic.
Portraits can be in front of a plain backdrop, in an environment, or you can even be performing a task in the photo like sitting at a computer, walking, or holding a prop.
