Have you ever wondered why a great headshot is essential? It’s simple—showcasing your professionalism is key. A bright smile can make a significant difference in your executive portrait, and achieving that is easier than ever. Advance planning is crucial for achieving that perfect, bright smile. Though some say, “just use Photoshop,” keep in mind that retouching can get pricey, and if not done right, your teeth might appear unnaturally bright or washed out. To avoid this, I recommend trying Crest 3D Whitening Strips. With just 7 days of use (or as advertised, 3), you can achieve whiter teeth effortlessly. Apply them for 30 minutes, and I suggest rinsing with water before removal to ensure a fresh feel. I even answer phone calls while wearing them—definitely a perk over traditional whitening trays!
Plan your appointment about a week in advance, and you’ll unveil a stunning smile just in time. Just remember, while a bright smile is beautiful, it shouldn’t be overly sharp; an unnatural glow can be off-putting!
It's worth noting that wearing white can cause even the brightest smiles to look a tad dull. Whenever possible, steer clear of white clothing, including white dress shirts for men.
While I'm unsure if Casey, featured in the photos, uses whitening strips, she certainly exemplifies how a vibrant smile can transform a portrait.
Keep that smile shining bright!
