The best finish depends on how the headshot will be used. Casting and editorial worlds have different expectations.

FinishBest for
GlossyActing and modeling headshots, vivid color and crisp detail
MatteCorporate headshots, press kits, and editorial use, soft and glare-free
  • Glossy makes colors pop but can reflect under bright lights.
  • Matte reads as more understated and is easier to view at an angle.
