Professional Headshots. A Little 1960s Attitude.

Real headshots. Real makeup. Real photography. Then some creative play with Adobe Photoshop and AI. These pairs start with studio portraits and explore a colourful, 1960s-inspired interpretation. At Icon Studios, the useful starting point for this direction is the creative brief: the audience, the main message and where the images need to work.

Start with the portrait

Light, expression and a connection with the person in front of the camera give a headshot its character. In the studio versions, a restrained background keeps attention on the face. The supplied portraits and their production are described by Peter as real photography and makeup.

Give the creative version a direction

Photoshop and creative prompts take the styling towards graphic shapes, bright colour and a playful 1960s-inspired look. The colourful versions are AI-assisted creative interpretations, rather than photographs of a physical wardrobe change.

Editing still takes judgement

The tools have changed and the creative possibilities have grown. Choosing a direction, refining details and knowing when the image feels right still take care. The strongest connection between each pair is the personality running through both versions.

Choose the use first

A clear professional portrait can serve a website or profile. A creative variation can bring something playful to social content, a personal project or a brand story. Discuss those uses at the brief stage so the finished images have a purpose.
