Finding Their Side
Because headshots draw so much attention to a subject’s face, we want to be sure to capture the face from the best angle. In order to find your client’s side, we suggest you do the following:
- Ask, “Do you have a preferred side?”
- Look for the part in the hairline
- Do the finger test: Without telling the client why you’re doing it, ask the client to follow your finger with their chin as you move it from left to right and look for their most flattering angle.
Another way to find your client’s side is to view the headshot upside down. Viewing the image this way draws attention to exaggerated or asymmetrical features, such as uneven eyes or jawlines.

It’s very interesting that although her hair is parted in the middle, there is still one side of her face that she is exposing more; the right side where the hair is pushed further back to show more of that side.
